Hitler Youth Uniforms: DJ Rune (Lighting Bolt) Patch--Diamond Backing

Hitler Youth
Figure 1.--Here we see a DJ boy. He looks about 12-13 years old mening that he was still a DJ boy. Note his colored Sieg Rune (lighting bolt) patch. It has a dark colored, probably black, diamond backing. We are not sure yet what that meant.

We notice a DJ boy wearing his oval Sieg Rune (lighting bolt) patch with a colored diamond backing. It was a square turned on it points to form a diamond. We have seen very few examples of this. Thus we are not sure if it was a formal insignia or if a mother just added this on her own. I inclined to believe that this was a rabk indicator, I'm not sure what the color was. I first thought it might be a bright color like red and green. But given the fact the rune patches were colored, I think now that the diamond backing was black. Hopefully a reader will be able to provide us an insight here. .
