Summary

edit
Description
English: 'Hitler Youth in Berlin, Press Office.' (Danish: Hitlerjugend i Berlin. Pressekontoret.); Nazi propaganda photo of members of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler-Jugend, HJ, the Hitler Youth), the youth organization of the Nazi Party (NSDAP), taken at the main offices in Berlin between 1933 to 1936.
  • The image is one of likely several in a series of propagandistic press photographs showing Hitler Youth members posing in various activities, probably at the Haus der Reichsjugendführung in Kaufhaus Jonass, a modern store and office building that was "aryanized" by the Nazis.
  • The paramilitary 'brownshirt' (light khaki) uniforms suggest that the photo was taken in the period from 1933 to 1936. This type of uniform was introduced in 1933, but by 1937, black visors and a second pattern eagle-and-swastika emblem on the caps had become common.
  • Details seen in the photograph:
    • Three Hitler Youths arrange stacks of freshly printed propaganda newspapers on a wooden table, while a fourth sits at the typewriter on a cast iron writing or typing desk. The publication is called Der Deutsche Sturmtrupp ('The German Assault Troop") and the main headline on the front page is Kampf der Reaktion! ('Fight the Reaction!') set in Fraktur letters.
      • According to NS Jugendzeitungen - Zeitschriften der Hitlerjugend the publication was issued from 1933 to at least 1934 by the Deutschen Jugendverlag in Berlin. It served as an official organ for the youth leader of the German Reich (Reichsjugendführer), Baldur von Schirach. Published bi-monthly in A3 format, it cost 15 Pfennig. The publication was an early newspaper for the Hitler Youth, containing significant Nazi propaganda and war incitement, making it considered highly dangerous for youth consumption. Further details about its content and distribution are scarce.
    • On the wall:
      • Organizational wall chart of Bund deutscher Mädel in der Hitler-Jugend
      • HJ flag on the wall, comprising a black mobile Nazi swastika upon a white diamond (or rhombus shape) on a field of three horizontal bars of red/white/red, of equal portions
      • Framed postcards on the wall:
        • Election poster with portraits of Hitler snd Hindenburg (Liste 1)
        • Kämpft mit uns für Österreichs Freiheit, donation card for the support of the expelled Austrian Hitler youth members, signed Luther.
        • Ludwig Hohlwein poster from Erster nationalsozialistischer Reichsjugendtag Potsdam 1. u 2. oktobr.
    • Uniforms:
      • Hitler Youth cloth armband (Hakenkreuzarmbinde) in red overlaid by a white diamond (rhombus) bearing a black mobile Nazi swastika, with a white band on the inside.
      • On the upper left sleeve, there is a triangular patch (district sleeve triangle, Gebietsdreieck, Obergauarmdreieck, introduced January 1st 1933), with the inscription 'Ost-Berlin.'
      • The person on the left has rank insignia on his shoulder straps indicating Scharführer; See Wikipedia about Hitler Youth ranks and uniforms.
      • Hitler Youth 1932 Rally Badge (Potsdam-Abzeichen der NSDAP, 1. Reichs-Jugendtag abzeichen)
