VOELKISCHER BEOBACHTER Berlin edition, 6 November 1933. p. 5 Hitler stated at Elbing, Germany:
"When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side, and you will not get me on your side', I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already', (lively applause) A people lives forever. What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants however now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."

Youth and the Church
Hitler Youth—Confessional Associations [Page 22] Introduction:
The youth leader of the German Reich, in integration of all hitherto published regulations concerning joint membership in Hitler Youth and confessional youth associations, has issued a special ruling concerning Hitler Youth and confessional associations.
Hitler-Jug end and Catholic Youth:
Joint membership in the Hitler-Jugend (German Girls' League, Jungmaedel of the German Girls' League) and organizations of Catholic youth associations is forbidden on principle. An exception to this prohibition can be permitted locally only in cases of Catholic youh organizations which, since before the taking of power, had the task only of church-religious care of youth (congregations and similar groups). A prohibition of joint membership applies also to these associations when they lrnve enlarged their own former spheres of duty in the present, and exercise a type of activity in their care of youth which is in conflict with the police decree concerning confessional youth associations. The decision as to whether or not a Catholic youth organization falls under the ban on joint membership is to be made by the regional leadership [Obergaufuehrung]. A recommendation from the appropriate State police is to be obtained for the decision.
Hitler-Jug end ancl Evangelical Youth:
Membership of Hitler-Jugend members (German Youngvolk, German Girls' League, Jungmaedel of the German Girls' League) in the organization of individual regional churches (Evangelical Youth Enterprise) is permitted. Approval of joint membership

in Evangelical youth organizations may be withdrawn in cases of individual associations of Evangelical youth of which it is established that they have organizational, financial, or leadership ties with Evangelical youth organizations such as the Evangelical Young Men's Enterprise E. V. or the Y.M.C.A., etc.
The decision as to whether an evangelical youth organization is classified as an exception is to be made by the regional leadership [Obergaufuehrung]. A recommendation from the appropriate State police is to be obtained for the decision.
