Original 1934 edition of Die Straße Frei dem Jungvolk! (“Make Way for the Young People!”) written by Heinrich Franz and published by Verlag Deutsche Kultur-Wacht, Berlin-Schöneberg.
This book was issued during the formative years of the Hitler Youth movement, focusing on the ideology, values, and stories designed to inspire loyalty and discipline among German youth. It served as early material aimed at shaping the attitudes of the Deutsches Jungvolk—the junior branch of the Hitler Youth for boys aged 10–14.
Historical Context
Printed only one year after the establishment of the Hitler Youth as the sole official youth organisation in Germany, this publication exemplifies the regime’s early cultural education strategy. It promoted unity and the idea of serving the nation through the lens of youthful enthusiasm. Such works were instrumental in embedding National Socialist ideas in education and literature throughout the 1930s.

Did a lot of comparing before buying and ended up here. Item turned up exactly as pictured, which honestly is all I ask for these days. Packaging was solid too. Would buy again.

Not my first militaria purchase, but probably the first time I didn’t feel like I had to “decode” the listing. Straightforward, clear photos, realistic condition notes. That alone earns trust.

What I liked most was the way the history was presented. Factual and clearly written for collectors instead of glorifying anything. That matters to me.

Bought one piece initially just to test the waters. Ended up placing another order a week later. That should say enough.

I collect mainly German pieces and I was pleasantly surprised by how accurate the description was. Nothing overstated, nothing hidden. Kind of rare now. Very happy with the purchase.
