One of the characteristics of the Hitler Youth was youth leadership. Boys were taught to both follow and lead. The opportunity to lead other boys was highly prized and theur was considerable competition. Leadership rank was conveted by different colored lanyards. The HJ youth leaders were very tightly controlled by adult leaders who made sure that the youth leaders conformed with the NAZI Party program. We have very limited information about who these adult leaders were and how they were selected. Nor do we have a good idea yet as to just how they interacted with the youth leaders. We have begun to collect information on the question of leadership and will archive that information here.
