Figure 1.--This is one of the articles in the 1939 yearbook. This page says: Die H J bastelt. That means The H(itler) J(ugend) tinkers (handy-man persuits). I cannot read any of the printed text. It is too small. The picture seems to be a carpenter's (joiner's) bench or tool.

The 1939 yearbook has a range of articles that would appeal to young people, probably the boys more than girls. The articles in the 1939 volume included "The Hitler Youth (HJ) Leadership" and other articles about the Hitler Youth such as "12 Months of Hitler Youth Work" and an article we can't quite make out. Other articles included: "The Work of the Führer Corps", "Water, Air and Motors", "Lucky Austria", "Rudolf Hess", "Fascist Italy", "Himalaya", "Langenmarck", "Looking for Gorillas in the Jungle", "Our Kriegsmarine", "Armored Cars and Mechanized Vehicles at the Front", "German Flyers over Enemy Land", "Sports Heroes from Bernd Rosemeyer to Berger Ruuds", "Sailplane Flying", "The Small Sailboat", "Auto Racing", "The Sun - Motor of the Universe", "Natural History", "The Battle of Torgau", "Plastics", "Television", and an article about of a small city with a military base nearby.
