HITLER YOUTH RELIGIOUS PROPAGANDA "DIE BURG"
Collection of seven copies of the rare monthly publication "Die Burg", each about 30pp. 8vo., 1935-36, published by Verlag Herder, Freiburg. The motto of the publication is printed on the cover of every issue, beside a woodblock image of a young Teutonic soldier with a broad sword: "To be warriors for God to be enriched". Although a variety of articles appear within, many use religion, symbols of the cross, and even photographs and interviews with German clergymen to promote the goals of the Hitler Youth, and of course Nazism?despite the fact that the Nazis were most certainly an unreligious organization. Every issue has one article titled: "Youth in War" preparing these future Wehrmacht draftees for use at the front. The first column in each issue also reminds the young readers to never forget their "dead brothers", and names those Hitler Youth who had recently died. Really chilling indoctrination literature.
