I've seen no mention of the "German Youth Camps".
Perhaps they were used for Firearms Training.
just a guess ?
I do remember that here in the beginning of both
WW-1 & WW-2, Wooden rifles were used in "Basic Training", until sufficient 1903 Springfields could be manufactured.
Also the WW-2 British Homeguard was issued or made their own wooden replicas until the were supplied with donated firearms from the USA and Canada.
