National Socialist Students League [NSD-Studentenbund] The National Socialist German Students League is an organization of the NSDAP. It was established in 1926 by order of the Fuehrer.
The NSDStB [National Socialist German Students League] is the battle troop [Kampftrupp] of the National Socialist movement in the colleges and technical schools. The NSDStB replaces the outmoded forms of the former student education and of the former student community life [Gemeinschaftslebens] by educating students to become National Socialists who are closely tied to the people.
There has been conferred upon the National Socialist Students League by Party and State the high task of educating, ideologically and politically, all German students at universities and technical schools. From the entire group, those capable of and prepared for use will be accepted first as candidates, and after one or two terms of probation, as full members of the National Socialist Students League.
