Union of Belarusian Youth

The creation of the UBY was accompanied by a broad pro-propaganda campaign aimed at showing the change in Germany's relations with Belarus and sought to win young people to their side to replenish the workforce, military auxiliary and police formations.

In each county, "unions" (for boys) and "circles" (for girls) were formed, they were headed by an Ally and a counselor, who were intended by the leadership staff of the UBY.

3 spring 1944 recruitment to the military auxiliary formations of the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe, the Byelorussian Home Defence, and the Belarusian police battalions began.

UBY published educational and methodical publications: "Diary of Orders", "Training Leaflet", "Service of Young Men".

The highest body of the SBM was the management staff headed by the chief conductor Mikhas Hanko [be] (men) and Nadzieja Abramava (women).
