![[Badge of Unghirden - Youth Hird]](../images/no-nsuhs.gif)
by mark sensen
The flag Mark sent is one of the flags of 'Unghirden' (Youth Hird), the Nasjonal Samling (NS) 'hird' section for boys aged 14 to 18. More precisely the flag is that of a 'sveit' within the Unghirden The sun cross emblem is a little too big. Specifications in the NS Arbok 1944 (Oslo, 1943) says the flag should be 6:9 (or 100:150 cm), with the diameter of the sun cross emblem making up 4 parts. The distance from the centre of the sun cross to the hoist was also 4 parts. The name and number of the 'sveit' was to be inscribed in silver in the top hoist. As a miniature (length 30 cm and called 'pennant' in the NS terminology), the flag was flown by the 'sveitförer', the commander or leader of the 'sveit'.
