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