It was formed in 1920 from the Free Socialist Youth (Freie Sozialistische Jugend) of the Communist Party of Germany, which itself was formed in October 1918, with support from the Spartacus League (Spartakusbund). The KJVD was created in 1925. It was the successor to the Free Socialist Youth (Freien Sozialistischen Jugend) of the Communist Party of Germany, which itself was formed in October 1918, with support from the Spartacus League (Spartakusbund). It was unable to attract many youth and its membership ranged only at thirty-five thousand to fifty-thousand in the last years of the Weimar Republic. However those who did join, commonly children of communist parents were highly extremely devoted to the Communist Party.
