Hitler Youth Flak Helpers cap

[Militariacollecter]

Hi guys,


I’ve obtained this hitler youth flak helpers cap.

It comes from the (sadly) closed dutch museum Eyewitness.

This one got the BeVo-type HJ cap badge replaced for a metal HJ member’s pin.


Do you guys now if that happened often during war time? Or was it seldom seen that the BeVo-type badge was replaced for a HJ member’s pin?

Feel free to share original pics of HJ member’s wearing such cap.

Most likely the cap was denazified and was worn after the war, and the pin added later by a collector/dealer (or even the museum).

Thanks for your answer!

I like the cap a lot, it breaths history .
