The Blue Flower of the Wandervogel

The book, first published in 1960, can today be considered a classic work on the history of the youth movement. It covers the emergence of the first Wandervögel around the turn of the century, the early branches and splits, the colorful diversity before and after World War I, the spread of scouting, and finally, the bündisch phase of the late Weimar period up to the prohibition and persecution by National Socialism, offering a wealth of data and facts.
