From sc h r i f t Metgen gesetwean Book review gEm sb Ie det gebretetas -bne ente Betr.: Schrift:"Three Years of German-Czech Youth Work" by Karl Günzel. rente 78 st caep a If, in the introduction to this paper, the author states that he intends to give a SCyN report on the work of the Sudeten German youth community as a leading association of the non-Marxist youth organizations in the former Czech-Slo-Wak Republic, in 3 last years of the war period ↓e m before the integration of the Sudets into the Great German Empire C, this corresponds essentially to the lower E8S0E6n we far more justice to the subtitle of Scripture, namely, "Report of the sudeten german youth on the struggle for the understanding of the peoples in the Tsehecho-Slovak Republic. In nine chapters, the author is concerned with showing how all attempts by the Su-deten German youth in the interest of a mutual understanding with the Czech Youth Association failed, since all the demands of the SJG were rejected by the Czech youth association, which only served the interests of a day-to-day policy. Especially in the chapter on the World Youth Congress in Geneva in 1936 and in Nw-York in 1938, the Czechs' plot to eliminate the SJG is most clearly shown, because at all these congresses the Czech people did not show themselves as representatives of a state youth who wanted to cooperate with the youth associations of other states, but as propagators of a Czech foreign policy determined by Benesch. As a result of the increase in the number of events in 1938 due to the above-mentioned fact, relations were broken, an exchange of letters between the leader of the SJG and the leaders of the Czech Youth Association was presented. b.w.
