I found these 8 pages (fotocopy) in a pile of old papers I have forgotten. I got the copyes for about 35 years ago from an fellow collector. The pages describes the way to behave and dress and the ranking system for the Danish "National Socialisk Ungdom - piger" = NSU (National Socialistisk Youth - girls) . I.m.o. it must be copyes of the original typewritten regulations from 1942. I have tried to make the copyes readable, the letters are very weak.

I hope that someone can translate it to English - maybe a job for you Henrik ?? If the scans not is good enough, I can send a mail with att. files.
