Free German Youth, but loyal... I have always wondered about these interesting definitions that were used during the time of communism/fascism. These regimes were very fond of words like "free" and "democratic" and used them unscrupulous, especially precisely where there was no freedom and no democracy. (By the way, the same thing happened very recently in Bulgaria, when in some troubled times a few years ago during the pandemic, the communists appeared with slogans for democracy, and an outspoken big criminal said that he would restore lawfulness.) Now I'm waiting to read if they let you live really freely after finishing school. And oh, the reluctance to swim is a big obstacle for the versatile fighter. This may have been the cause of many subsequent things in consequence.
Just some thoughts of mine, maybe they have nothing to do with reality (I took your autobiography too conspiratorially🤭).
