Line 402:
** This used to read "eight killed" and to be fair to the original poster, the deaths of Cadets Hartsfield and Haynes weren't reported to VMI until long after the battle. (1904, in Cadet Haynes' case.)
* Possibly NOT the Children's Crusade, at least so [[The Other Wiki]] suggests. The movement isn't well-recorded, the idea seems pretty unbelievable, and it's suspected the term "pueri" was a diminutive that meant "farmers" as in the English "country boys."
* The 12th Waffen-SS-Division 'Hitlerjugend' consisted mostly of Hitler Youth as young as 16 how were selected in special trials and led by experienced and older
* The Hitler Youth in [[Nazi Germany]]. Children as young as 10 fought in the defense of Berlin against the Red Army, many being awarded Iron Crosses by [[Adolf Hitler]] himself (indeed the last recorded pictures of Hitler show him doing this).
** Earlier in Nazi Germany there were the military-style training schools and the Hitler Youth, from which these child soldiers were drawn.
