History


Most uniform items the members of the DJ (Deutsches Jungvolk, German Youngsters) wore were the same that were worn by Hitler Youth members. A few items, however, were specifically designed for members of the DJ.

The uniform of the German Youngsters was first regulated on November 10, 1934.

The dark blue trousers (Überfallhose) were exclusively worn during the winter months between October 15 and April 14. They were introduced in a regulation from November 24, 1934.

Initially they were optional, but became standard on October 15, 1937. From then on, they were worn by all male members of the Hitler Youth.

They are long trousers in dark blue, made of an unknown material, and tapered at the ankles, with black tie-strings. Two concealed vertical slash pockets with a flap and secured by two buttons each are located at the front, whereas generally there is just one concealed back pocket with a single button flap, located on the right side. Also on the backside, just below the waistline on both sides is a sizing strap with a black metal buckle each.

The buttons are black and made of plastic.
