Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Trumpet (Fanfare trumpet) and single Sig rune banner (Trompete und Fanfarentuch, Fahne), emblem of the Deutsches Jungvolk (DJ) of the Hitler Youth. The white Sig/Sowilo rune on a black background symbolised "victory".
  • Visor cap (Schirmmütze) of the SS (Schutzstaffel).
    • SS style silver Hoheitszeichen/Hoheitsadler, SS' version of the Nazi Germany imperial eagle, the German national emblem featuring an art deco Reichsadler with expanded wings clutching a swastika inside a circular oak wreath
    • SS' silver skull and crossbones/death's head (Totenkopf) cap insignia, adopted from the Totenkopfhusaren, the 5th Hussar/Life-Guard Cavalry Regiment of Prussia
    • Officer's chin strap cord in silver
    • Piping around the cap crown and cap band in red/scarlet, the corps colour (Waffenfarbe) of the Waffen-SS' artillery
    • This hight-fronted peaked cap is a "crusher" without the stiffening that maintained a proper shape, giving it a slouched appearance. This way the hat could be tucked away when campaigning, worn with headphones or in confined spaces such as tanks and submarines.
  • Side/snare drum (HJ Trommel, Marschtrommel, 'march drum') of the Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend or Hitler-Jugend, HJ), the youth organisation of the Nazi Party in Germany 1926–1945, or the Deutsches Jungvolk (Jungvolk, DJ), the organization for the youngest members of the Hitler Youth (Messingkorpus mit beidseitig rot-weiß bemalten hölzernen Spannringen und Pergamentbespannung)
etc.
