Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Misc. uniforms and equipment of the Third Reich (Nazi Germany):
  • Summer uniform of the Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend or Hitler-Jugend, HJ), the youth organisation of the Nazi Party in Germany.
    • Side cap (Schiffchen) made of the HJ Braunes Tuch
    • Brown/tan shirt with pleated breast pockets
    • Rolled black neckerchief secured with a brown woggle/slider (HJ Halstuch Klöppel), tucked under the collar
    • Hitler Youth cloth brassard. Similar to the HJ flag, the armband has a white stripe on red and a black swastika on the white HJ diamond. (The official Hitler Youth emblem consists of a black mobile swastika above a white square diamond surrounded by alternating white and red quadrants all within a rhomboid shaped diamond.)
    • Triangle shaped regional badge on upper left sleeve (das Traditions-Arm-Dreieck der Hitler-Jugend war eine Sonderform des Gebietsdreiecks/Armdreiecks)
    • Hitler Youth badges:
      • Pin for Deutsches Jungvolk (Jungvolk, DJ), the organization for the youngest members of the Hitler Youth
      • DJ badge with Sigrune/Sieg-Rune emblem
      • H. J. Deutsche Arbeiter-Jugend pin
    • Hitler Youth belt buckle with the HJ eagle clutching the HJ diamond with a swastika in its talons in the center. The front reads Blut und Ehre ("Blood and Honour").
    • Hitler Youth dagger. Full members of the HJ would receive a knife upon enrollment, with the motto "Blood and Honour" engraved upon it.
  • Steel helmet (Stahlhelm) with a silver eagle shield decal on the left side, the German national eagle of the Wehrmacht Heer, the army of Nazi Germany (Wehrmacht Heer Reichsadler mit Hakenkreuz als Abziehbild für den deutschen Stahlhelm)
  • Trumpet with single Sig rune banner, emblem of the Deutsches Jungvolk (DJ). The white Sig/Sowilo rune on a black background symbolised "victory".
  • Uniform of the Wehrmacht Volkssturm, a national militia established by Nazi Germany during the last months of World War II.
    • Green tunic with rank insignia of Zugführer (platoon leader, lieutenant) on collar patch
    • M43 field cap, peaked ski cap (Einheitsmütze)
    • Cloth arm band/brassard with Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht
  • Um Freiheit und Leben – Volkssturm (English: "For freedom and life - Volkssturm"), a German WWII propaganda poster by Hans Schweitzer (Mjölnir) 1944


  • Panzerfaust, an inexpensive, single shot, recoilless German anti-tank weapon of World War II
  • Uniform tunic of a German front gendarm, Feldgendarmerie of Wehrmacht. Rank insignia of Meister (sergeant major), the highest enlisted rank of the German Ordnungspolizei during WWII, on shoulder strap. Also Litzen, embroidered collar braids mounted on Waffenfarbe backing, for officers, and a braided edge on the collar of the coat for Non-comissioned Officers (NCOs, Unteroffiziere).
  • 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 (Trommel) for Hitlerjugend (HJ) or Deutsches Jungvolk (DJ) (Messingkorpus mit beidseitig rot-weiß bemalten hölzernen Spannringen und Pergamentbespannung)
