Hitler Jugend, the Hitler Youth Organization, Part 1 - Paperback

by Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionar (Created by)

The Hitler Youth is not a Boy Scout or Girl Guide organization. It is in no respect comparable to any organization for young people known to the Western World. It is a compulsory Nazi formation, which has consciously sought to breed hate, treachery and cruelty into the mind and soul of every German child. It is, in the true sense of the word, "education for death." Under no circumstances should the Hitler Youth be taken lightly or, be considered a negligible factor from an operational or occupation point of view. The emphasis of the following Basic Handbook and appended Order of Battle tables is on the 14-18 year old male group, the Hitler Youth proper, the primary potential source of disaffection and the primary source of replacements for the Wehrmacht.
