HISTORY;
Established in early 1933 in cooperation with the NSKK, National Sozialistische Kraftfahr Korps, (National Socialist Motor Corps), the Motor-HJ was the earliest, and largest specialty section of the Hitler Jugend. The age entry level for the Motor-HJ was fifteen years old and the first year was spent on driving theory and practical mechanic training until the member reached sixteen years old and was eligible to qualify for his drivers license. The Motor-HJ established the Motor Qualification Badge in three classes of A, B, and C with each subsequent class being more complex and detailed then its predecessor. The class A badge was the lowest of the three and the qualification for award was divided into four sub-categories consisting of knowledge of driving, vehicle repair, laws and road signs and driving proficiency. The badge was worn on the lower left sleeve of the brown shirt and service tunic.
