Biography of Gunther Reinhartd (Steve) Guten Tag! My name is Gunther Reinhartd and I am a member of the Hitler Youth (HJ) in my hometown of Berlin, Germany. I have served the fuhrer for 5 years. I am now 15 years of age and I joined the HJ at age 10. I am proud to serve mein fuhrer at such a young age. Recently, I've begun my arms training and am working my way up to becoming a soldier. Sadly, I am too young to be put in the front lines, but mein fuhrer says that "All of my children shall have their chance to serve and to own our enemies in my name!" and I believe in him. I was born 6-29-1917 in Berlin and i like to hunt with my 3 brothers and father for fun. I'm glad we met at the rally when we listened to our leaders' speaches. When i got home we had a huge feast. My parents aren't strict about anything other than patriotism and work, but i enjoy both of those things. I am the middle brother and my older brother is a soldier with my father, and my younger brother is a recruit in the HJ. I'm many ranks higher than him and 6 years older. Biography of Mario Ettore Luigi (Eddie) My name is Mario Ettore Luigi and I’m a member of, our savior Mussolini’s, “Sons of the Wolf” in my city of Rome, Italy.

I have been a member of the “Sons of the Wolf” since I was 9 years old. My life here in Italy is great and I don't have any complaints about it. I like to train in combat and fight other people. What I mean is, I like to train in hand to hand combat and play around with other kids and test my skills and see what I can improve on. I am a patriot to my country. I’m proud to be under command of such a strong and powerful dictator. I may be young but I am still getting ready to fight for my country.

Date 21-4-1932 How do you like being a member of "sons of the wolf" mario? I hear that Mein Fuhrer and your leader are close friends, perhaps we could be too. I like life here in Berlin how do you like life in Italy? As i said before, i have begun my arms training and im getting rather good with my guns. What are you doing as a Son of the Wolf now? Enjoy serving your country, Sincerely, Gunther.

Date 30-4-1932 Hello Gunther, I enjoy being a member of "Sons of the Wolf" actually. We all learn a lot. And yes i also have heard that both our leaders are good friends and who knows maybe we can. Life here in Italy is pretty good. I have no complaints. Right now as a "son of the wolf" I am training for combat and armed training. It is fun but is very serious. We all have to work hard and pay careful attention. And the training is difficult. Is your training difficult? I would like to here all about it. Sincerely, Mario Ettore Luigi

Date 4-5-1932 Mario, Glad to hear you like your group. And to answer your question, yes my training is difficult and i see we happen to be training for about the same thing right now. It's fun serving mein furher in every way i can. My mother is very proud of me and my father, being a soldier, thinks it's wonderful that im being raised as a soldier. I dont get to see either of my parents much, as i do not live at home and am far away from my home town of Berlin. Although Reichstag is a nice place, it's also the place i do my most grueling training and where i spend most of my time. Where do you train? Do you live at home? And what do your parents say about you being a son of the wolf? Looking forward to your letter, Gunther

9-5-1932 Gunther, I know how that feeling of serving your leader. I also am proud to serve Mussolini. He is a great man and I am proud to be under his rule. For my parents, my father is a bitter old drunk. My mother, on the other hand, is kind and loving but i have not told her the truth about the "Sons of the Wolf". My father knows everything about it and is proud. He is a veteran. My mother doesn't know much about the group and I don't want her to because she may force me to resign. I do actually live at home. I train at a small facility in the city. I am not allowed to talk much about it. I could give away things to our enemies. That is what our leading officers say. I listen to them all the time and always do what I'm told. I like my officers. Do you listen to your leaders? And where exactly do you train? Do you like your leaders? Reply soon, Mario Ettore Luigi

16-5-1932 Mario, I train in Reichstag, a military city far from my home town and my family. In the city there are many camps, some are for POWs, but most are for the HJ and often Mein Furher will visit our city and facilities. The camp i train in is small and there is hardly anything there but moss, mud, and the stone, barbed wire covereed walls around us. I always obey my leaders and follow out all orders to the letter. I do like most of my leaders and of course meinfurher. However, there is one corporal that is very hard on us and i don't like him much at all. He tends to get on our faces and yell whenever we make any mistakes no matter how small. Ive earned many letter recognitions to the Furher from my other leaders though. Do you ever get recognition from Mussolini? Does he visit your facility? Eager to hear your response, Gunther

21-5-1932 Gunther, Mussolini is a very powerful man and has no time to visit us unless he comes to look for his future leaders. He had only come twice since I have been a "Son of the Wolf" and that was to talk about military positions that needed to be filled by our older, stronger, and wiser "Son's of the Wolf". He also was looking for future recruits. It was great when he came to our facility. And to answer your question on the recognitions, yes, well kind of. You see, our commanding officers just tell him when he comes who work hard and are strong. He always tells them "We shall see". Some of the kids preform battles to prove their strength to him. He is usually impressed with our skills that they have taught us. I am told that he was happy with my skills that I will get to teach other kids. I hope that this is true. I am training harder so I don't know how many more letters I can send but I will try to reply a.s.a.p. Goodbye, Mario Ettore Luigi

30-5-1932 Mario, I too am getting deep into my training and i believe this will be my last letter. Soon we, my group in the HJ, will go to Munich and there, there are no mail carriers. It has been nice talking to you and I've enjoyed our conversations. After training in Munich i am going to go into the real soldiers' boot camps. Perhaps we shall fight side by side on the battlefield some day. Be well my friend, hiel Hitler and your Il Duce. Looking forward to a time when we shall meet again, your friend, Gunther Reinhartd

4-6-1932 To Gunther Reinhartd, I bid you a friendly goodbye my friend because this will be my last letter. I have been selected to start a special training. I will have no time to write to anyone. I hope that you work hard and maybe your right, someday we can be on the front lines together. I will miss writing to you my friend. You be well, too. I hope we will meet again someday,too. your friend, Mario Ettore Luigi
