FACTS & FIGURES

In the early 1920s, the Nazi party had established a youth movement led by Kurt Gruber (1904-1943), with the aim of attracting young men who could be trained to become members of the Stormtroopers (Sturmabteilung - SA). On 4th July 1926 the group was renamed the ‘Hitler Youth, League of German Worker Youth’ and became attached to and run by the SA. The Hitler Youth (Hitler Jugend) wore uniforms and attended meetings and rallies where they were indoctrinated with Nazi views. The Hitler Youth (HJ) were taken over by Ernst Roehm (1887-1934) in 1930 and remained as an adjunct to the SA. After Roehm was murdered during the Night of the Long Knives the group came under the control of Baldur von Schirach (1907-1974), the Reich youth leader Reichsjugendführer.
