German World War II KLV Evacuations: Jugend Lagers


Figure 1.--Here we see a HJ boy in front if a KLV Lager. Nitice how emaculately uniformed he was. We suspect that he may have been posted as a guard. We doubt that was necessary, but was introduced as a kind iof discipline measure. It is unclear what kind of building this was. Note the purple ink. That was commonly used to stamp documents and photo IDs. The Lager has been named Haus Schleifer. Schleifer may be last name, but we have no idea who he was.

The actual camp for the KLV evacuee children was known as a Jugend Lager. Lager in German has many different meanings. We believe that in terms if the KLV evacuatiins, it meant the diormitories and living areas where the children were billeted. A wide range of facilities were commandered for the Lagers, including youth hostels, small hotels, old barracks, summer camps, schools, and other available facilities. Unlike the British program, the childrn were not bilitted in private homes. Rather the children were kept together. We are not entirely sure why this was done. We suspect that this wa done so that the supervision ofthe chilkdren was entirely in NAZI habds--in this case the Hitler Youth (HJ). The HJ leaders chosen as youth leaders at these camps were youths, both boy and girls, that had demonsrated particulr ideological zeal. The HJ leaders were in charge of the largers and any work assignments given. At many Largers the adults teachers came to play a very limited role.
