German civil defense members attempt to deal with the effect of Allied night bombing, February 1943.  Much worse was to come ... JR.

Foreshadowing ...

Members of the junior branch of the Hitler Youth - the Jungfolk - on Summer camp, deliver the "German Greeting".  Even at this age, Summer camps like this concentrated on the more energetic and physical end of boy scouting, carrying a proto-military edge, as well as indoctrinating young minds with Nazi ideology.  Many parents, still suffering from the effects of the post-1929 economic crash, welcomed the HJ's activities as a useful contribution to their children's education.  For more than a few, that education would conclude on the battlefields of WW2.  Best regards, JR.
