Herbert Norkus (born 26 July 1916, died 24 January 1932) is buried in Berlin.

Norkus was a member of the Hitler Youth who was murdered by communists whilst distributing leaflets advertising a Nazi Propaganda rally. Following his death he became an "example of heroic committment of the Hitler Youth" and was declared a "blood witness of the Movement".

Norkus' father a First World War invalid and stoker by trade, is believed to have been a member of the SA. His mother suffered from neuropathy and died in 1931.

On the morning of his death, Norkus was distributing Nazi propaganda leaflets with other Hitler Youths in Berlin-Moabit when a group of communists attempted to stop them and began chasing them. Norkus was caught, beaten up and stabbed several times. He died on the way to the hospital.

The following day, the Nazi paper der Angriff appeared with the headline "Wie der Hitlerjunge Herbert Norkus von Rotmord gemeuchelt wurde" "How the Hitler Youth Herbert Norkus was assassinated by red murderers".

Having said all that, why anybody would want to know where a committed Nazi lies buried beats me!

The neo-Nazi "Kameradschaft Norkus" in Saxony, Germany is named after him.
