A chilling work. In 1934, at the height of Nazi power, Josef Friedrich Limmer courageously showed through this work how all the traditional German youth movements, including the "wandervögel", were banned and dissolved that year in favor of the Hitler Youth and the 3rd Reich alone. , thus marking the desire for a total indoctrination of the youth and therefore of the German people.
