[edit] Caen

First, this article is ridiculously biased. The HJ became more military oriented only after Stalingrad. Prior to that, the organization was just like the Scouts in that it was not related to school and met outside of it. Yes they had military prep schools, but no one complains about vocational high schools that equally diminish the importance of traditional academics.

Lastly, let's not tarnish the name of these young people. The performance of the 12th SS Panzer Division was remarkable at Caen. Does no one find it worthy of an encyclopedia entry that this group of children was able to defeat an army of adults far superior in numbers? A glance at military reports from Iraq clearly shows that 18-20 year old troops of the US military hardly can hold a candle to the HJ.Suday January 24,1932. It was a typical raw,dark,wintry morning in moabit , a drab industrial section of berlin, the capitaln of Germany. It was early, not yet fie o'clock, but fifteen-year-old Herbet Norkus was already up, hurriedly dressing. Herbet buttoned then brown shirt of his Hilter Youth uniform and slipped the swastika armband onto his forearm.

[edit] Who Funded this Group?

Where did the money for this organization come from? Where did they meet? How can we tell if this is happening now with the Battlecry groups?

Help!?

I suppoese, it needed to add the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Youth_Quex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusliner (talkcontribs) 20:51, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Anthem

According to the page on Nazi songs, "Es zittern die morschen Knoche," written in 1932 by Hans Baumann, was adopted (when?) as the Hitlerjugend's anthem. I don't know where to incorporate this information in the mainspace article, Hitler Youth. -- Deborahjay (talk) 09:25, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Numberplates

Why is the letter combination HJ banned from German numberplates? --84.61.131.15 (talk) 16:03, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Ratzinger

The final sentence on the section concerning him stated that the family was 'very religious and hated the Nazi regime'. The citation to which it refers no longer exists, so I am removing the sentence. Additionally, the construction of it implies that their great religiousness would be the cause of their hatred of the Nazi regime. The Roman Catholic Church at that time celebrated Hitler's birthday from the pulpit and no member of the Roman Catholic Church would have hated the Nazi regime specifically because of their religion. If citation were found again, it would be fair to keep the phrasing should it also be stated that their hatred of the Nazi regime ran counter to the Roman Catholic Church at that time. However, this not being directly relevant to the subject matter of this article, prudence would seem to advise the sentence merely be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.82.41 (talk) 17:45, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Addendum to my first post on the subject, I am not able to edit the article to make the alterations I suggest here. The article is semi-protected due to vandalism. If anyone could make the change for me or tell me how to do it, I would appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.82.41 (talk) 17:49, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
