The German army had a bayonet that had a Diamond shaped emblem that was RED and WHITE with a Swastika in it. This was the symbol for the Hitler Youth. This symbol was displayed on the grip of the bayonet and on the flag for their unit. The Hitler Youth was Germany's form of Boy Scouts for young men. However, it was also used to "brain wash" the children to believe in Nazism and Hitler as their answer to their country's problems.
