Girls plant a swastika flag and write letters, 1937

On a grassy rise against a pale sky, four girls in the white blouses, black neckerchiefs and dark skirts of the League of German Girls hold a swastika flag upright and push its pole into the ground. Then girls with braids sit in the grass, heads bent, writing on paper held on their knees, a triangular badge on one sleeve. Hiking trips with flag, song and letters home were the heart of the girls' leagues, and from December 1936 the Hitler Youth Law made them the youth of the state.
