Hitler Youth Reached Out to Brit Boy Scouts

Hitler's Nazi Youth organization created cycling tours and other activities in a bid to win over British Boy Scouts, reveals just-released UK intelligence files. Boy Scouts participated in the tours and attended camps run by Nazi Youth on British soil in 1937, according to the documents. MI-5 agents alerted officials to the young Nazi supporters traveling to Britain that year. The Germans also visited factories and ports on their excursions. Not everyone was concerened about the Germans. One British school boy referred to the teens as a "jolly good crowd of chaps." (More Germany stories.)
