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:
  • Um Freiheit und Leben – Volkssturm (English: "For freedom and life - Volkssturm"), a German WWII propaganda poster by Hans Schweitzer ("Mjölnir") 1944
  • 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/blouse with pleated breast pockets
    • Rolled black neckerchief/scarf (Halstuch) secured with a brown woggle/slider (HJ Halstuch Klöppel) and tucked under the collar
    • Hitler Youth cloth brassard (hakenkreuzarmbinde, "swastika armband"). 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 consisted 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.
  • Uniform of the Wehrmacht Volkssturm (Der Deutsche Volkssturm), a national militia established by Nazi Germany during the last months of World War II.
    • M43 field cap, peaked ski cap (Einheitsmütze)
    • Green tunic with paramilitary Volkssturm rank insignia of a Zugführer of Zugführer (platoon leader, lieutenant) on collar patch/tab
    • Cloth arm band/brassard with the legend Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht
    • The Volkssturm "uniform" was only a black armband with the German words Deutscher Volkssturm Wehrmacht ("German People's Storm Armed Forces"). The German government tried to issue as many of its members as possible with military uniforms of all sorts, ranging from Feldgrau to camouflage types. A telling example of the Volkssturm's piecemeal outfitting occurred in the Rhineland, where one unit was provided with "pre-war black SS uniforms, brown Organization Todt coats, blue Air Force auxiliary caps, and French steel helmets." Most members of the Volkssturm, especially elderly members, had no uniform and were not supplied, so they generally wore either work uniforms (including railway workers, policemen and firemen), Hitler Youth uniforms, old uniforms or their parts from the time of the First World War or their civilian clothing and usually carried with them their own personal rucksacks, blankets, cooking-equipment, etc
  • Trumpet (fanfare trumpet) and banner (Trompete und Fanfarentuch, Fahne) decorated with a single Sig rune ("SS bolt"), the emblem of the Deutsches Jungvolk (DJ) of the Hitler Youth. The white Sig/Sowilo rune on a black background symbolised "victory".
  • Side/snare drum (Trommel) for the Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend or Hitler-Jugend, HJ), the youth organisation of the Nazi Party in Germany, or Deutsches Jungvolk (Jungvolk, DJ), the organization for the youngest members of the Hitler Youth (Messingkorpus mit beidseitig rot-weiß bemalten hölzernen Spannringen und Pergamentbespannung)
  • Panzerfaust, an inexpensive, single shot, recoilless German anti-tank weapon of World War II
etc.
