Interesting HJ district triangle

[Garry M.]

I hadn't noticed this until I scanned the photo at a higher resolution today. The area triangle has three lines of text. The only one I'm aware of with that much text is 'Reichsdeutsche Jugend Ausland'. However, I have two of those on file but they aren't a match for those on the photo so perhaps this is a variation?

The only shoulder strap I can see shows a two-digit number. The longest HJ-Gebiet in the two-digit range for the year this photo was taken is 'Ost/Mark-Brandenburg' but that isn't what is on that triangle in the photo.

Anyone have any ideas what the triangle says?

In terms of 3 lines of text, there is another possibility: Rundfunkspielschar; eg

Rund-
funkspielschar
Kurzwellensender

Shoulder straps would have had an RS on them but I'm not sure whether these units were composed solely of HJ boys, or DJ also.

Best,
Toby.

Ah, yes Toby. Many thanks. That's very probably what it is. I just googled a HJ-Rundfunkspielschar which was situated in Saarbrücken. Two more letters and would seem to fit with the length of the lower word on the triangle.

Although not the same district, I thought this might be of interest.
