4a Youth care has therefore been set up as an Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft für Jugendbehörung, in which all the Reich services of the party and the state working in the field of youth work are represented, in order to exchange experiences on the one hand and thus to ensure a uniform orientation of the measures to be taken. In order to evaluate the experiences in youth care among the responsible departments of the party and the state, also in the Gauen working groups must be formed according to the guidelines of the Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft. If necessary in the circles also working groups are to be founded later. The management of the working group is to be entrusted to the regional leaders in the districts to the governors. If these are not confirmed, the district leader takes over the management personally. The guidelines for tasks and composition of the work groups in the communes and districts are issued by the Reich Youth Leader in consultation with me. Führerhauptquartier, April 17, 1942. gez. M. Bor m a n n Appeared in Editions A and B. According to the instructions of the youth leader of the German Reich, the working groups have the task of counteracting all negative phenomena in the youth through practical cooperation, through lively exchange of ideas and uniform measures. In particular, the value of the working groups lies in the fact that all the forces which, on the basis of their service and personality, have a right to criticise the youth and their attitude are used from the outset to cooperate, thereby achieving close cooperation between the departments involved.
