German Children Playing at Arresting Communists and sending them to Concentration Camps in 1933

A great find from an excellent site on Nazi propaganda. This piece describes German children playing at arresting Communists and sending the to concentration camps. Probably a mixture of propaganda and reality - terrifying none-the-less. A description from the site is given below. Click the link HERE for more.

The article from this link was published only ten weeks after Hitler's takeover. It describes Munich children playing a game based on the Nazi suppression of the Communist Party (KPD). In February 1933, the S.A. had taken over the KPD's Berlin headquarters, the Liebknechthaus, which the children have turned into a game. The children even establish a “concentration camp” for the captured “communists.” The article comes from Peter Fritzche's book Life and Death in Nazi Germany. Fritzsche thinks the photos were staged, although I suspect they were based on real activities, with a bit of help from the photographer (e.g., the nicely misspelled “Libknecht Haus” sign).
