WWII German SS Sleeve Insignia for Former Hitler Youth (HJ) Members-This is an excellent machine embroidered example of this scarce piece of SS cloth insignia. Excellent shape. We have two of these and the one you receive will be as nice if not better than the one in the photograph.
History: The sleeve diamonds were initially authorized in October 1935. Each had a distinctive letter, symbol or emblem, with its own unique meaning. SS sleeve diamonds were used to indicate which SS organization the wearer was assigned to, specific roles of SS personnel, special achievements such as proficiency in sports or marksmanship, or to recognize former service in other Party organizations.
