The fate of Quex, a Hitler Youth apprentice printer, should be of particular interest to young graphic artists. Not only that he learns this craft, but also that he knows how to use it in case of the greatest need, makes him appear in a special light for the graphic youth

For over 400 years since the Peasant Uprising, the Hartkopfs, the “Steel Farmers” have worked their own fields. Respected by everyone, Hermann Hartkopf, the owner of the farm, married a poor woman against the will of his father, because in doing so, he was the first in his family to have to take out a mortgage to pay off his siblings. Up to his final mortgage payment, he worked the land diligently, loyally supported by his woman, Annamarie, who did double duty in the home. They cleared the forest, tree by tree. But the price of wood dropped and it wasn’t enough. They worked the fields, bringing in the harvest with great effort. But that, too, made little difference. They had to harvest even more just to keep up with the amount needed to make a minimum sale. And when they finally met that quota and brought it to the city to seel, Siegfried Lebenberg, the master of all the farmers’ needs and wishes, didn’t want it, because every farmer wanted to pay their mortgage with grain. Lebenberg did indeed take the grain; but only at a very small exchange rate, for the price of grain was dropping daily. But, at least, it was enough to pay the final mortgage installment … if … yeah, if the farmer could have used it to pay off the mortgage! You see, his wife became even sicker … and this, right before the birth of the heir to the farm. But how was the farmer supposed to do his planting and harvesting now? And right before having to let his farmhand go right before the New Year?
