Unidentified German Family Photographic Album: HJ/BDM Group


Figure 1.-- Here we see a group of German children. We are not sure about the relationship to the rest of the photographs in the album. It is interesting becuse it shows a mixed group of HJ boys and BDM girls. This is unusual as almost all the HJ photographs we have noted show the HJ and BDM involved in separate activities. We note the HJ and BDM involved in parades and civic events, but alwats as separate units. We very rarely see the children and youth mixed together.

An exception here was the KLV World War II evacuations. Some KLV camps were single gender, but we also notice mixed groups. As best we can tell, the groups were kept separate as an element of HJ policy.
