Figure 1.-- This snapshot from the album of a AHS boy was labeled 'Klasse 6 1938/9'. We think that means the graduating class at the school. They wound up graduating just in time to be drafted for the War that Hiter nd Stalin were about to launch. There are three girls in the portrait. We are not sure why because it was an all-boys school. The man in the middle is presumably the school director. The boys are wearing their civilian clothes, but were apparently not allowed to have long pants.

They students went through 6 years of leadership training preparing for possible future positions in the NAZI party. The 6 years was the standard German secndary program. We are not sure what the academic program was like, but we suspect it was much weaker than the standard secondary program which itself was being steadily weakened by the NAZI regime which was replacing qualified teachers with Party loyalists. One report suggests that the syllabus was that of ordinary grammar schools with the exceotion that political indocrtinatio replaced religious instruction. It should be noted that a similar syllabus does not mean a similar rigorus level of instruction or academic standards. As the schools were boarding schools that mean that much more could be added to the program. Even in the rehgular schools, the NAZIs incresed the time devoted to phsical training and added boxing to the pogram. And poor performance in the PE classes could lead to expulsion no matter how wll the student did academically. At the AHS schools the PE training program was much more intense than even the expanded secondary program. A great deal of time devoted to they were boarding schools, a great deal of time was available. The PE and activities program included sports, boxing, war games, rowing, sailing, gliding, fire arms training, shooting, riding motorbikes, hiking, and much more.
