Die Junge Kameradschaft seems to be a heavily illustrated HJ yearbook, perhapa apredecesor to Jungen: Euhr Welt which first appeared in 1938. The tirle would translate as "The Comradship of Boys".

There were severa; articles and photographs about the HJ progeam, including "Ten Years of the Hitler Youth" and "Herbert Norkus" (a NAZI boy martyr).
