Here a small stmp was pasted in that indicated that the dues had been paid. The text of the membership card was written in the old-style German script.

The Hitler Youth organization under Gruber had been operating as a semi-independent entity within the SA. Under Röhm, that was about to change. In April 1931, at Röhm's request, Hitler issued an order placing Gruber directly subordinate to the SA Chief of Staff. The headquarters of the Hitler Youth organization was ... moved from Plauen to the main Nazi headquarters in Munich.

The Hitler-Jugend (Hitler Youth), a paramilitary youth organization of Third Reich's Nazi Party, sent a delegation to Japan on the eve of World War II. The group stayed for 3 months and received a passionate welcome as it toured the nation, which strengthened its ties with Nazi Germany. On the morning of Oct. 7, 1938, members of the Hitler-Jugend stood in front of Yamada Station. The German youths raised their right hands in a Nazi salute in response to a throng of spectators who welcomed them with waving flags, and marched on to the shrine in perfect order. The Hitler-Jugend visited Japan again from Oct to Dec 1940.

The Hitler Youth movement continues to be of interest to historians studying the 20th centurty. The NAZIs and their sympathiuzers after World War II claimed that charges concerning the evil nature of the Htler Youth were unfounded, that they were nothing more than a youth movement comparable to the Boy Scouts. Hitler Youth organizer Bauder von Schirach used this argument at his Nuremburg trial, although he did admit the organization had been misused during the War, when he was no longer the leader. HBU has noted numerous accounts about the Hitler Youth both before and after the War. Some relate to actual HJ programs, other the individual actions of HJ members which may or may not have been instigated or tolerated by HJ leaders. Some of thes charges are widely know and well documented.

The Hitler Youth, known in German as Hitler-Jugend (HJ), was founded in 1926, though its roots stretch back a few years. Its origins come from the Jungsturm Adolf Hitler (Adolf Hitler Boy's Storm Troop), an arm of the storm troopers founded in 1922. It was originally the youth movement of the German Workers' Party, founded in 1919, which, in 1920, Hitler renamed the National Socialist German Workers' Party. The Jungsturm Adolf Hitler collapsed in 1923 with the failure of the Beer Hall Putsch and Hitler's imprisonment. A number of youth groups were then founded to try to fill the gap. While originally a boys' movement, in 1928 a separate girls organization was added in 1929 called Schwesternschaft der Hitler-Jugend, it was renamed Bund Deutscher Määdel (BDM) in 1930 and a section for younger females, the Jungmäädelgruppe, was added in 1931.

The Hitler Youth was disbanded by Allied authorities as part of the Denazification process. Some HJ members were suspected of war crimes but - as they were children - no serious efforts were made to prosecute these claims. While the HJ was never declared a criminal organization, its adult leadership was considered tainted for corrupting the minds of young Germans. Many adult leaders of the HJ were put on trial by Allied authorities, and Baldur von Schirach sentenced to twenty years in prison. He was ... convicted of crimes against Humanity for his actions as Gauleiter of Vienna, not his leadership of the HJ.
