Dramatic 1934 photograph of small boys wearing what looks like a boy scout uniform but clearly one of "Hitler's Youth" as they are salute lighting bolts (symbolic of the Nazi SS) and American Flags. While the image immediately evokes feelings of brainwashing and a cult like status, it was typical during the era, but not in New Jersey! This rare photograph captures boys in the United States and the paper caption on the back notes that they was being taught German and the first principles of Nazism at a camp! A powerful image in great shape, issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
