Nationale Jeugdstorm

The Nationale Jeugdstorm (English: National Youth Storm; NJS) was a Dutch youth movement associated with the National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands (NSB) that existed from 1934 to 1945, organized as the Dutch equivalent of the German Hitlerjugend and as a Nazi counterpart of Scouting and Guiding in the Netherlands.

On February 1, 1936, the Nationale Jeugdstorm was shut down as a result of a Supreme Court ruling.

[1] Before the occupation, the Nationale Jeugdstorm had around 2,000 members; a number that increased during World War II to over 12,000.

When they became 18, the boys were conscripted to the Nederlandse Arbeidsdienst (Dutch Labour Service) (NAD) or the Waffen SS.
