Blimey she was a busy woman!
I suppose its because they didn't have a telly

I find the quote hilarious in sense to all those re-enactment nazi's who want to forbid 3rd Reich political re-enactment:

Fünf Söhne sind bei der faschistischen deutschen Wehrmacht; der sechste ist beim Reichs-Arbeitsdienst.

So RAD isn't faschist and Wehrmacht and Kriegsmarine is

My german is'nt up to much, was that quote a modern one?

Of course we know what the Rad, Nskk etc are/were.

I wonder how many of the sons came home in one piece. I make it 3 in Navy, 1 Army and 1 W-SS. (Feel free to correct).

Where do you see the Waffen-SS man?

Isn't 3rd from left wearing a "skull and cross bones" on front of "forage cap"?
If not what is it? I am still getting a handle on the subltey of German uniform.

I make it 2 Heer, 3 Kreigsmarine and 1 RAD or other Reich labour force. I must admit I thought there was an SS man at the back but I don't think thats the totenkopt on his hat.

just look at the heer Litzen on their colars

Wehrmacht, Kreigsmarine, Geheime-Polizei, Hitler-Jugend

...and Deutsche Kinderschar

Deutsche Kinderschar

The „Deutsche Kinderschar“ was brought to live by the NS-Frauenschaft and aimed at children aged six to ten years old.

In the „Organisationsbuch der NSDAP“ from 1937 it is stated that all children should be cataloged in files and that they receive membership cards. A year later though it is to be read that under no circumstances the children are to have membership cards, nor should they be registered in a file system.

With the age of ten the children were to join the „Deutsche Jungvolk“ or the „Jungmädel“ of the BDM.

The leader of the „Kinderschar“ was a fully trained nursery school teacher and held within the „Ortsgruppe“ as within the county and „Gau“ the position of a section leader. The „Deutsche Kinderschar“ met up once a week for a homely afternoon. All children were dressed in the same clothes, the style could be changing from one gau to another.

Here a picture of the Kinderschar in Brockwitz near Dresden.



The girls wearing dresses showing the „Wolfsangel“ on the left...obviously no hard rules laid down here, as some of the girls have the Wolfsangel stitched on vertical. The boys in the picture are already wearing the unfirom of the Jungvolk, so must be 10 years old or older.

The following picture shows two boys of the „Deutsche Kinderschar“ 11 from Fremdiswalde, south of Torgau. Notice, the Koppelschloß of the boys shows a Wolfsangel in vertical position, probably to avoid a mix-up with the Koppelschloß of the Deutsche Pfadfinderbund which showed the Wolfsangel in a horizontal position. On the left side of the chest, the boys are wearing the badge with the horizontal Wolfsangel. The picture was taken 1935.




The leader used to wear a badge similar to the „NSDAP Parteiabzeichen“, a white/red badge as seen here in this picture.




The text on the front reads: Deutsche Kinderschar-N.S.F.(Nationalsozialistische Frauenschaft)
On the back is the RZM and number 63 imprinted.

Thanks for that information! I was wondering in witch organisation the girls where. That's sorted out now.

Now that was interesting,I've never seen this insignia or organisation before.
