Genealogy / my Polish Grandfather in Hitler Youth? HOW? [65]

When the war started my grandfather along with his mother and younger sister fled to Germany (I think voluntary) so if that's the case on his German Identity card why wouldn't it say

Ethnicity : German NOT Polish?

I guess I have to find someone who has knowledge in this field to take a look at the documents.

If anyone has knowledge about WW2 German identification Cards and is willing to help me please message me your email address on here and i shall email copies of the documents :)

Thanks for everyone's help !

Ok so I spoke to a distant relative of mine and apparently my grandfather's father had a German mother.They also told me that its possible that my grandfathers mother also had a German mother. So if that is a fact why would it say on his German Identification Card, Ethnicity : Assumed Polish ??? I am still very confused

My grandfather was born in 1929 in Gniezno in the Second Polish Republic. So his Citizenship was Polish.

But the question is how much German ancestry did you need to have to be considered ethnic German and to be in the Hilter Youth ?

I am confused to

it says on another Nazi identification card nationality : Polen

@ Harry

I am Australian so I am halfway to being British ;P and I think its important to know my family history no matter what comes out of it because that makes up apart of me.

the question is do you have to be of full or part Germanic to be in the Hitler Youth? if yes then my grandfather was of mixed Polish and German ethnicity which is why he was considered German enough to be fully Germanised... what do you good people think?

I was very Proud to be of Polish ethnicity but finding out im not that Polish and im more German is a little crazy but oh well we are all human

I still cant understand why on my grandfathers German identification card it says

Volkszugehorigkeit angeblich : Polen
Ethnicity Assumed : Polish

how does that work if he is considered an Ethnic German? I am still puzzled

@ Harry

But on her Polish documents it says she is Polish and her husband Polish also....

Do you have to be of Fully German or Part German ethnicity to be in the Hitler Youth?

At the start of the war his Mother fled to Germany with my grandfather and his sister where they attended German school.

His father was in the Polish army and died at the start of the war.
(A family rumor was that he changed sides at the start of the war and went into the German army and was sent to the Russian front where he was captured he later escaped but died from illness on the way back home )

thats all I know

Genealogy / my Polish Grandfather in Hitler Youth? HOW? [65]

Hey I am very confused please help me !

I am going through my late grandfathers documents from WW2 and I discovered he has a German Identity Card of him in the Hitler youth!!!!!!

I always thought he was POLISH he was born in Gniezno, Poland in 1929 he has a Polish First name and Surname and both his parents had Polish first names and Surnames,

On his German Identity card it has all the NAZI stamps and information ect. about him saying where he was born and lived. Where it says his ETHNICITY it says '' Ethnicity assumed Polish ''

So my question is how could my Grandfather who was born in Poland and who has both a Polish first name and surname whos parents that have both Polish names and born in Poland be allowed to be in the HITLER YOUTH ? seeing the Germans ''Assume he is of Polish Ethnicity ''

please only honest and helpful people comment

Thank you
