Hitler Youth Uniforms: Headwear--Campaign Cap Color

Figure 1.--This DJ boy wears the dark-clored campign camp. The portrait unfortunately is not dated. The boy has not put the diamond HJ pins on the cap.

We have noted different colored HJ campaign caps. Some seem to black or a very dark brown. There were also khaki caps, perhaps with red or other colored piping. We have not yet noted piping on the dark caps. There may have been several colors. We have seen color photos of the khaki-colored caps, but not of the dark caps. They seem to be dark blue or black. This means they would have matched the jackets the boys wore in cold weather. We are not sure if there was any significance to the different cap colors. The dark caps my have been DJ cap, but we are just not sure at this point. Nor do we know if they varied chronoogically.
