WW2 German Hitler Youth Armband

The WW2 German Hitler Youth Armband is an artifact from the period of the Third Reich, specifically associated with the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) organization. Introduced as a standard part of the youth group’s uniform, the armband typically features a red cotton band with a central white diamond and a black swastika emblem. Measuring approximately 18 cm to 20 cm in length and about 9 cm in width, the armband was worn on the left arm by HJ members as a symbol of affiliation and conformity within the organization. The design closely aligns with the official insignia regulations established by the National Socialist regime. Such items were produced in large quantities between 1933 and 1945, and they offer insight into the structure and symbolism of Nazi-era youth movements. This armband serves as a historical example of uniform accessories used in youth organizations under the National Socialist government during World War II.
