<strong>Hitler</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Cards</strong><br />
Collecting the autographs of heroes was a very popular and profitable propaganda tool in World War<br />
II Germany. <strong>Hitler</strong>’s official photographer, Heinrich Hoffmann, would take portraits of each of<br />
Germany’s heroes and would publish postcard size cards what are known as Hoffmann Portrait cards.<br />
A few would be given to each hero and others were sold throughout the country. The citizens would<br />
then get the heroes to sign these cards. Many youngsters in the <strong>Hitler</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> could not afford the few<br />
phenning each of these Hoffmanns cost, so they would make their own cards using cut card stock and<br />
then affixing a magazine or newspaper picture to the card. There were adults in most <strong>Hitler</strong> <strong>Youth</strong><br />
groups whose job was to help the youngsters build their collections of autographs.<br />
Today these <strong>Hitler</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Cards</strong> (HYC), also known as “clippings,” are highly collectible by both<br />
collectors and by militaria artists who will affix one of the signatures to the matboard of one of their<br />
signed and numbered limited edition paintings making that painting signed by both the artist and the<br />
subject. Artists like these because the signatures are all made on a plain background rather than on a<br />
photo.<br />
This special catalog contains only our warsigned <strong>Hitler</strong> <strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Cards</strong> - all at discounted prices. The only<br />
additional discount we are able to offer off these prices is 10% if a buyer purchases the entire lot.<br />
