My Deutsches Jugendherbergwerk collection

[Troy Tempest]

As with the WHW donation badges, the Deutsches Jugendherbergwerk (DJH/German Youth Hostels work) also had donation badges which were distributed during their collection drives. My collection will have the appropriate Tieste number attached to each photo. These are found in Reinhard Tieste's reference book on the subject.

I'll start off with the Germanische Runen series. These were distributed on the 8./9. Juni 1940, and hand painted by members of the HJ and BDm. The six badges were made in both glass and plastic. Here are the glass variants.

Blut-Boden, T021.1


Erntesegen, T022.1


Heil, T023.1


Kampf, T024.1


Leben, T025.1


Sieg, T026.1
