Overview

The Skgorrian Youth Legion enrolls all children from the age of 5 up until they are 18 years old. The Youth Legion serves as the NSP's main tool of control over the youth, and allows the children of Skgorria to be brought up according to the wishes of the NSP. Membership is compulsory.

History

The Youth Legion was formed in 1941 after the German conquest of the then-Brzno after advice from Berlin to Olgich Peter. Modelled on the German Hitler Youth, the organisation was in theory meant to indoctrinate and educate children in the ways of National Socialism, though as the war dragged on and defeat grew nearer, the Youth Legion became another tool for mobilising manpower for the defence of Brzno and the NSBPP. Like the SS, the organisation was banned by the Soviets and its leaders and prominent members were incarcerated or executed.

The Youth Legion was reformed at the same time as the SS during the War Of Seperation, although in the chaos of the war the Youth Legion was little more than a pro-Nazi child militia that would aid in duties such as fire-fighting and stretcher-bearing. After the conclusion of the war in March 1994, the Youth Legion was officially reformed along with the SS in a grand ceremony in Skgorria City.

Aims And Objectives

The motto of the Skgorrian Youth Legion is 'The Children Are Our Race's Future And Hope' and the Youth Legion follows this in several ways. Legionnaires are dressed and ranked in a similar manner to the SS to instill discipline, and are educated in military tactics and other aspects of fieldcraft, meaning that by the time Skgorrian children enter military service they already have a basic understanding of military life and methods. The Youth Legion also instructs and informs its members in the doctrine of the Iron Rule and National Socialism, providing education on the evils of the Zionist-Bolshevik conspiracy.

Organisation

The Skgorrian Youth Legion is organised into local cells on a community level. Such cells have weekly meetings at which various Nazi doctrines are taught by adult Youth Legion leaders. Regional Youth Legion leaders are instructed to organise rallies and field exercises in which several dozen Youth Legion cells can participate. The largest Youth Legion gathering usually occurs once a year at Skgorria, where Youth Legion members from all over Skgorria converge on the plains outside of Skgorria City along with citizens and the military for the annual Skgorrian National Socialist Party rally.

The Skgorrian Youth Legion also maintains training academies comparable to preparatory schools. Such academies are considered breeding grounds for future Nazi Party leaders, and only the most radical and devoted Youth Legion members could expect to attend.

Several corps of the Youth Legion are dedicated solely to training members who wish to become officers in the Army, Air Force or SS. Such groups devoted themselves entirely to officer training in the particular field to which a Legionnaire hopes to become an officer.

A Second Army?

There is a pressing argument amongst some that the Youth Legion could serve as a 'Second Army' in the event of an invasion and could fight alongside the regular forces. It is true that the Youth Legion has access to modern fighting equipment, as Legionnaires train with AK-74 assualt rifles and the few Armoured Youth Legions drive T-95 tanks and BMP-3 APCs. The Legionnaires are also subjected to intensive training and most Legionnaires have a fair grasp of military tactics and routine, particularly the older cadets. Some of the Legionnaires in their final year are selected to form Babykiller Division, a division-sized reserve formation whose rank and file are entirely comprised of Youth Legion members.

However, one must remember that the Legionnaires are only children and not as physically or mentally capable as adults. In addition, not all actitivities undertaken by the Youth Legion are military in nature, and that Legionnaires do not get as much training as regular soldiers.
