History

All members of the Hitler Youth wore a belt buckle with HJ insignia on them with their general uniforms. There were few exceptions, for example the various sports dresses.

The HJ belt buckles were worn on a brown leather belt with a cross strap. In December of 1935, a regulation changed the colour of belt and cross strap to black. However, it took almost a year to fully implement this change.

There were white leather belts and cross straps, but they were extremely rare and, as far as we know, only used for delegations on a visit to a foreign country.
