Young German Order
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Young German Order (in German Jungdeutscher Orden, often abbreviated as Jungdo) was a large para-military youth organisation in Weimar Germany.
Jungdo was founded by Artur Mahraun in May 1920 in Kassel. The organisation tried to revive ideals of pre-war Wandervogel youth movement. Very soon it reached 70,000 members, was banned in early 1921 and later expanded to almost 300,000 members. The pseudo-chivalric and anachronistic group was involved in nationalistic politics of Weimar Germany. After 1933 it was absorbed into Hitler Youth.
