Hitler Youth: Hitler Youths
built 279 days ago
With new branches in twenty different German Gaue (districts), the Hitler Youth organization faced financial problems associated with its expansion. Paid dues and Party funds only covered a portion of the costs. Hitler Youth members then began the practice of collecting money during propaganda marches.

The Hitler Youth published a series of magazines including Youth and Homeland, The Young World, The German Girl and Girls Your World. Another magazine, Will and Power, was produced for HJ leaders and female guardians.

In April 1932, the Hitler Youth was banned by Chancellor Heinrich Brüning in an attempt to stop widespread political violence. But by June the ban was lifted by his successor, Franz von Papen as a way of appeasing Hitler whose political star was ascending rapidly.

Gruber soon became aware of Schirach's ambitions and made personal appeals to Hitler Youth leaders for their continued loyalty. He ... attempted to make a favorable impression on Hitler by expanding the newspaper activities of the Hitler Youth. Two monthly papers were established, Die Junge Front and Hitler Jugend Zeitung, along with a bi-weekly. But the papers never sold well. Gruber later required boys wanting promotions within the Hitler Youth to sell a fixed quota each month in order to qualify.

Though not as dramatic, the Hitler Youth fought with similar determination to hold Hill 112 to the east of Caen, the battles covered by Beyond Normandy. They did not surrender even when wounded, though sometimes they faked it to take a few unwary Tommies with them in death. The children had learned their lessons well, and fought with a skill to match their fanaticism. By the time the division withdrew from Normandy in August, fewer than 600 combat soldiers remained.

This Hitler Youth knife is made of the later pot metal base, having a nickel plated surface. The nickeling is still pretty good throughout, except it is beginning to develop a couple of cracks in the surfaces, here and there. The cracks do not look as though they are going to spread any further, but nonetheless, they are there. The plating, although having a little bit of underbubbling, is ... still all there. The grip plates of this example, at first glance, appear to be crisp, but the keen eye will see that there is also a crack in both the obverse example at the top rivet, and the reverse example, just below this rivet. These cracked grip plates appear to have been repaired, most likely with the use of some epoxy to keep them in place.
