Hitler Youth Germany

[rachaelblakeleyx]

who did not join the hitler youth and what happened to them?

[Old_Geezer]

Most people did not join the hitler youth.
I expect some survived the second world war whilst others did not.

An ex-girlfriend's mother was signed up by her family, although she did not really understand the significance of what she was involved in.

At the end of the war, she burned her uniform.

One former member went on to become the Pope.

[Peter Pedant]

wiki says in the war years - membership was compulsory
which I thought as the case.
Others have mentioned that those that failed to join were er joined by their families

Gunter Grass, the Nobel Laureate, must be one of the more famous alumni of that organisation.

[Wharton]

Do you know any other former members Hymie?

[Wharton]

....apart from Gunter Grass.

[Hymie]

No - only the Pope.

So, the Hitler Youth wouldn't be your specialist subject on Mastermind then?
