In September 1938, Willi was privileged to attend the NSDAP annual gathering in Nuremburg, representing Klagenfurt with his Hitlerjugend comrades. They travelled by train and had a glorious few days, standing at attention for the Führer as he walked slowly past their formation on the "Day of the Youth". This is the souvenier program for the following day that he brought home with him and managed to save. In October he turned 19 and was "called to the colors."
