HITLER YOUTH PHOTOGRAPHS: This is a blog that is solely concerned with photographs of the Hitler Youth. Don't read anything into it other than what it appears to be. There is no political or social message in any of this blog. The Hitler Youth is the common English name for the members of the organization. Other references include: Hitlerjugend, HJ, Pimpfe, XJ, Deutchejugend, DJ, and XJ. The photographs themselves come from the web and my personal collection.

Assorted Hitler Youth photographs
Photographs 1 and 2 came from the same collection. While these two photographs appear to be HJ, I cannot tell for certain. The flag is unusual. It is possible that the photographs depict the equivalent of the HJ in another country controlled by Germany at that time.
Running with daggers drawn . . .
Three HJ in schwartze uniforms. (They could also be DJ, or
Deutchejungvolk) All three race towards the camera with their knives
drawn. Ceremonial knives were a common part of most German uniforms.
The Hitler Youth were no exception. Often, the blades of their knives
would bear the words "Blut Und Ehre" ("Blood and Honor").

In schwartze uniform
This is a small photograph, but it packs a wallop. This is a truly beautiful portrait, and in many ways exudes the power and confidence the Hitler Youth was to inspire in its members.
Hitler Youth leaders Horst, Gunther, and "Spinne" in May 1938
The back of the photograph states that they are all dead.
