WS318   “Extra Hitlerjugend”

                       To add to the HJ group meeting the Fuhrer for the last time here are two more young fighters.

                       The young lad wearing the greenish uniform jacket belongs to the Auxiliary Fire Service which recruited volunteers from the Hitlerjugend.  In the battle for Berlin they exchanged their firehoses for rifles and panzerfaust anti-tank rockets.

                       The other young boy is wearing the standard HJ uniform and belongs to the “Special Patrol Service” group who were already trained in small arms even before the desperate days of April and May 1945.
