Hitler boys and girls in Berlin were told by Reich Youth Leader Axmann to strive unceasingly to be worthy of the "greatest German of all times," according to a German broadcast, says Reuter.

"It is the religion of our times to be a nation, This fact deter- mines the Hfe of our youth. Youth knows no rights, only duties."
