At least 70, 000 German youths are members of tightly-organized, neo-Nazi groups, according to an article in the latest issue of “Civis,” official organ of the Circle of Christian Democratic Students, appearing here today.
The article charges that former Nazi “bigwigs,” like Raoul Rudolf Nahrath, “are poisoning German youths with anti-democratic, anti-Semitic ideology. It declares further that a “conglomeration of Ludendorff myths and Teutonic-Aryan heritage” is being disseminated among children by organizations like the Viking Youth, and other groups. An “umbrella organization, ” the National Organization of Youth Comrades reportedly joins the youth groups and is, in turn, closely connected with the neo-Nazi Deutsche Reichspartei, the German Bloc, and other neo-Nazi and militarist organizations.
Many of the papers published by the youth groups, states “Civis, ” appear at regular intervals and boast of circulation of between 30, 000 and 40, 000 copies. These papers allegedly glorify “the Germanic past, the achievements of Nazism. ” One youth paper attacked American jazz as Negrophile, another has designated Zionism as “resists fascism,” a third abjured German girls not to wear jeans which, it said, were “the invention of Jewish world capitalism.”
