BACKGROUND: The "Landjahr" (Land-year), first introduced in 1934, was a program where urban BDM girls and HJ boys spent a year serving a rural community. Although directed by the "Reichsjugendführung" (National-youth-leadership), the "Reichsnahrstand" (National-agricultural-administration) was also intimately involved. Most of those enrolled in the "Landjahr" program were enrolled in the "Landdienst" (Land-service) as well.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: An approximately 44cm long x 30mm wide, black rayon cuff-title, upon which has been machine woven, in off-white Gothic script, "Landdienst der HJ". Excellent condition, quite scarce.
