    The kids seem just the right age for being in Hitler Jugend towards the end of the war. Is there any more info about this family? I’m curious about their individual fates, and whether they survived.

      Unfortunately, Getty Images is the closest thing I have to a source

      As both boys on the left and right are wearing an HJ-belt, I assume both are already in HJ.

        Yes, and I think that if they stayed the course, they would be thrown into the defense of Berlin in 1945

          This happened not only in Berlin, e.g. my grandpa was ordered as FlAK aid with the age of 16 (or even 15, I cannot ask him anymore).

            FIAK? Is that the same as Volksturm?

              No, FlAK means anti aircraft gun. He probably had to move the big spot lights or carry ammunition.

                  Yes, Flug-Abwehr-Kannone.
                  I hate fonts where I and l can almost not be distinguished.

                    It’s been imported into English as just a standard word, no capitalization necessary anymore. Most English speakers probably aren’t even aware it’s originally a German acronym. We just say “flak” like we say “scuba” and “laser.”

      I just finished reading a book about German refugees and how they were treated in Denmark.

      Its a very interesting book. A lot of boys in their mid teens (16) were in the refugee camps, even though they secretly wanted to be in the Wehrmacht. They were not old enough.

      It seems like a lot of effort was put into convincing the German refugees that Nazis were the baddies and revealing what really had happened. Some where executed though, for still believing in Nazism
