The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Shorpy War Photos-- Part 3: Hitler Youth

APRIL 9, 2014, MOD CAFE: 1944--  September 3, 1943  "U.S.O. canteen, Penn station, Harrisburg, Pa.  Serving bar.  Travelers Aid and Pennsylvania Railroad."    Photo by Gottscho-Schleisner.  An ultra modern place.  Wonder if they served alcohol?

APRIL 8, 2014, BFF: 1938--  1938, Stuttgart, Germany.  "Hitler Youth in tent during festivities for the 6th National Days of Foreign Germans."  Photo by Heinrich Hoffmann.

Comments:  membership was mandatory for all boys.  The two in the front belong to Hitlerjugend.  The ones in the back belong to Deuschesjungvolk.  Hitler Youth led to German soldiers.
