I have been reading about the "Belief and Beauty" programme introduced by Schirach in January 1938 . I bet the SS loved these beautiful "Nordic" girls !! Countess Clementine zu Castell (formerly the Nuremburg Regional BDM chief) was its first leader. Anyone have any pics or info on her...

Here's a favourite piece from my own collection: Graduation Urkunde for the completion of 5 Years at the Adolf Hitler Schule Sonthofen. The Urkunde is signed by both Robert Ley and Baldur von Schirach. I would imagine that only a relatively small number of students would have actually been able...

We all know that from the top downwards the SS State was sexually very moral and althought they could and did slaughter anyone who stood in their way they cherished the sanctity of marriage like any Presbytarian minister, and took a dim view of sex outside marriage. Considering the power so...

Well I come from a long military line going back over half the Christian age. The family name came to the UK with the Norman invasion in 1066 but has roots older than that in central France. The other side of the family goes back to the earliest records and has always been involved in the...

The difference between Landjahr and Landdienst is most simply put as follows: Landdienst = permanent staff Landjahr = seasonal workers Landdienst The origin of what would later become the Landdienst der HJ can be traced as far back as the industrialisation of the German economy at the end of...

The first attempt to create a youth section within the NSDAP was the short-lived Jugendbund der NSDAP. The initial impulse came from Adolf Lenk, a piano maker from Munich who had joined the NSDAP aged 18 in 1921. He began to recruit boys aged between 14 and 18 for his 'Jungsturm Adolf Hitler'...
