ARTIFACT:
Nice, "salty" 1939 dated Hitler Youth knife with RZM maker mark 7/27 for Puma. The knife's grip features a red and white enameled brass diamond shape showing a black swastika, the sheath is painted steel with a leather strap belt attachment, and the blade features a maker mark that reads: "RZM M 7/27 1939". "Hitler Youth" was initially an organization formed to groom teenagers as anti-Semites, but during the War the Youths became fair game to restore depleted military manpower.This example was obviously carried into the war.
