Deutsches Jungvolk Brief History
The Deutsches Jungvolk, often abbreviated as DJ or DJV, constituted a distinct branch of the Hitler Youth during the Nazi regime in Germany, targeting boys aged 10 to 13. Its primary objective was to shape young minds through outdoor activities, processions, and sports, all in accordance with Nazi ideology. Starting in 1939, membership in the Deutsches Jungvolk became compulsory for eligible boys, and tragically, some of its members were conscripted into the military towards the end of World War II. With the conclusion of the war in 1945, both the Deutsches Jungvolk and its parent organization, the Hitler Youth, were disbanded.
