Georg Lauritzen was a particularly good student at the Morsum Village school school. We see many interesting photos.
We see Georg as a little boy and as an older boy with his friends. He is one of the boys in the 1936 school portrait. One picture shows him in a suit with a Hitler Youth pin. There is no picture of him in his HJ uniform. We see his "Entlassungs-Zeugnis". This allowed him to go on to change to a secondary school in nearby Nieb�ll--a "Aufbauschule" for good pupils coming from rural village. Most of the children at the Morsum school did not go beyond the village primary school. Notice the entry, Geh�rt dem Deutschen Jungvolk an",i.e. (member of the German
Jungvolk). This was followed by "guter Kamerad" which I thinks means a "good comrade". This was the juvenile or Cub division of the Hitler Youth. In NAZI Germany, membership in the HJ was important in obtaining a place in secondary schools and later university. There are more details in his site. He transferred to a Gymnasium--a further indication that he was academically bright. He finish school with the "Mittlere Reife". We see him in his Luftwaffe uniform after the beginning of World War II. He survived the War and surrendered to the British rather than the Soviets which probably saved his life. Much more information is available on his Website.
We see Georg as a little boy. One photo shows Georg as a toddler at the age of two (1925).
Notice his toy dog with little wheels. He wears a two-piece suit with a wide decorated collar and a string tie which is part of the blouse. We commonly see string toes like this or comparable neckwear with tassles during the 1920s. This may have been a winter outfit. Georg obviously wears long underwear under his black long stockings. You can see the bulge at his ankles.

Another image shows Georg and his younger brother Erk at the ages of 12 and 12 respectively (1936). The two boys are dressed identically, perhaps showing their typical school dress or clothes they wore after school for play or chores. They wear long-sleeved knitted jerseys, short trousers, and black long stockings.
