Hitler Youth Titles
Prior to the establishment of a paramiltiary rank system, the Hitler Youth maintained a simple system of paramilitary titles which were as follows:
- Reichsjugendführer: National Youth Leader (Commander of the Hitler Youth)
- Hitlerjugendführer: Hitler Youth Leader (Adult Leadership Corps)
- Hitlerjunge: Hitler Youth (Juvenile Membership)
Reichsjugendführer and Hitlerjunge would later become actual ranks with Hitlerjunge also commonly used to denote any juvenile member of the Hitler Youth. The title of Hitlerjugendführer never became an actual rank but was used throughout the Hitler Youth's existence as a term applied to members of the adult leadership.
