Youth in the shadow of Hitler

The top half of the illustration is a photo of young adolescent girls in the Nazi youth group Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls). Wearing tank tops & gym trunks they stand in a line and assume the “eyes right” stance. The lower half shows boys in Hitler-Jungend (Hitler Youth) uniforms (khaki shirts, black kerchiefs, and black shorts) watching two of their comrades holding Hitler-Jungend flags on bamboo poles
