I don’t know anything about this tinnie I received today. I bought this because it is pre 1933 and youth related.

The Deutsche Jugendkraft (DJK) was founded in 1920 at the Catholic Day in Würzburg. It was made up of the gymnastics and sports departments within the Catholic "Youth and Young Men's Clubs", the "Catholic Commercial Association (KKV)", the "Catholic Journeymen's Association" (Kolping) and the "Bund Neudeutschland" as well as the "Association of Catholic Pupils higher educational institutions” together. Until its dissolution in 1935, however, the DJK was not, as was often claimed, a "Catholic sports association" but, according to its statutes, a "Reich Association for Physical Exercise in Catholic Clubs". Their aim was to cultivate physical exercise in the Catholic clubs "as a means of strengthening the body and steeling the character" in the light of the Catholic ideal of education. However, this educational ideal was largely used in a missionary form. In connection with the development of the German Youth Force (DJK) in Lower Saxony, starting from the Weimar Republic in 1920 up to its dissolution in 1935 in the 3rd Reich. A youth organization that was "swallowed" by the National Socialists - like many others.
