History

On September 30, 1938, the arm discs showing a Siegrune were discontinued. Instead, a rank indication system based on chevrons was introduced. They were identical to the chevrons that were used in the Naval HJ (Marine-HJ).

The chevrons are round, dark blue badges with silver-grey rank indicators, and were worn on the upper right sleeve.

Hordenführer wore one chevron. So did a Rottenführer (formerly Oberjunggast) in the Naval HJ.
