Info 181: Webfinds THW teens

Something different today. Some German teens of the THW (Technisches Hilfswerk, emergency services) boys/girls. Some in blue bibs, most in older grey cotton bibs and black boots. Nowadays they wear blue synthetic bibs or regular pants like firefighters. Grey bibs are mostly worn in the 90s, 80s and earlier (often with belts), but depends on the region. Occasionally some still wearing grey color.

There are websites of each region and youth division and some have vintage pics (also showing holiday pics like in swimwear, youth camps or competition pics.)

I just did a brief search today. I don't have the time for more research today, but have some more which I found some time ago. I like the grey heavy cotton bibs and boots. Sadly they changed color and fabric. Probably most have/had fun together.
