In the Germanic lawsystem all members of the sibbe were equal and had the same rights, children in the sibbe had the same rights as adults from the time they learned how to speak and express their wishes.

The first such instance of ethnic German Volksdeutsche from Poland being formed into units to support Germany was in September of 1939 with the attack on Poland.
These Volksdeutsche milita aided the German attack in many areas, and became so useful that shortly after the German Invasion, between September 8th and 10th, it was decided to reorganize the milita groups into Self-Protection units, otherwise known as Selbschutz.
The Selbschutz was therefore formed in the early days of the German attack on Poland from ethnic German-Poles between the ages of 17-45 in the regions of Western Poland.

Adolf Hitler's words at the beginning of the construction of the Autobahns — "German workers, begin!" — were a clear expression of National Socialist Germany's conviction that labor, not capital (the position of the earlier Jewish-liberal-democratic system), was at the center of constructive activity.
