You're on the wrong track.
The insignia: pip and chevron is an indication for DJ-Oberjungenschaftsführer, as he is wearing
a Jungvolk shoulder-strap. In this case it has not to do with naval-HJ.
If I see well I see number 13, which is Münster from the HJ-district West-Westfalen. Bielefeld had
number 158. At WRF we have a naval-HJ specialist. He can tell you if they had a naval unit at Münster and/or
Bielefeld.

Wilhelm, thanks for the reply.
Would someone living in Bielefeld have been in a Muenster district DJ/HJ group? It was a long way to travel back then.
Thanks for letting me know the correct rank, his war time scrap books are full of KM newspaper clippings and what with me thinking the rank was M-HJ I thought he'd be a candidate for the Kriegsmarine.
As for the number, I just can't be sure as it isn't clear enough.

Was he actually living at Bielefeld or in the area?
For example when he was living closer to Münster (in the direction of
Warendorf) he would have been a member there.
I see a 3 and not a 5. Can you make a beter scan from the number
upon the shoulder-strap, please!

To me it seems it is not a 5 afer the 1. A 3 might also be doubtful!
See how the numbers should look like:

It would've been good if someone had written all the details on the back when the photo was taken
At least I now know the correct rank so thanks very much for that and being DJ I have a rough idea of when the photo was taken - 1940/41.
-
Is this the only photo where the DJ-uniform is being worn?
-
Unfortunately yes, the only other photos I have are either in civilian clothing or after being called up.
