[edit] Flakhelfer Generation

I've removed the line about the effects of the indoctrination. Frankly : It's simply incorrect. Much has been written about the trauma shared by former Flakhelfer and much of the development of the Federal Republic is attributed to it. However, Nazi symphaties are not among the things usually assosciated with former Flakhelfer. Several of Germany's greatest liberal thinkers share that part in the biography.--HBS 18:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Luftwaffenhelfer (HJ)

the abbreviation "HJ" for "Luftwaffenhelfer" can't be correct. HJ stands for "Hitler Jugend" (Hitler Youth).

you are right, but its the official term used. A boy was Luftwaffenhelfer in the HJ, according to the german article the Hitler youth tried to influence the Luftwaffenhelfer. So it is not the abbreviation, it is the position. The abbr was LwH 80.171.8.186 (talk) 02:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
