Abstract
By launching his troops against the USSR, Hitler pushed Stalin into the same camp as England. By declaring war on the United State six months later, he managed to create the coalition which would at last get the better of him.

Apart from the Young Communists, there was practically no other political youth movement. The socialists, whose youth section had played a great role before 1939, had not been able to keep going. The movements on the right were barely organized: the youth of the RPF (the Rassemblement de la Jeunesse Française) was not a significant body. Only the Catholic and/or Christian movements were able to compete with the communists. L’Association Catholique de la Jeunesse Française, which had been founded in 1886 by Albert de Mun, was some 350 000 strong, and was made up of La Jeunesse Ouvrière Chrétienne, La Jeunesse Étudiante Chrétienne, and similar groups.
