School children were officially 'encouraged' to join by school teachers, party members. parents, government etc. It was a fun thing to do with marching, singing, drums, bugles, target practice, summer encampments etc. Things a kid would love to do. Members were selected for inclusion, those of doubtful ancestry were not permitted to join, members were led to feel they were a of a select group, the future of Germany It was the right thing to do, there was little analytical divergent outspoken opinion permitted or opposition to joining as there might well be today, those that wouldn't join were suspect or at least viewed as unpatriotic. I can well understand the desire to join and those that did should not be condemned. Ron Gillen Rg ========================= ------------------------ Yahoo!
