The standard work on the HJ in English is Hannsjoachim Koch's _Hitler
Youth_. Both it, and Peter Stachura's _The German Youth Movement_ have
very good bibliographies.
You also ought to be able to find microfilm copies of HJ organs like _Das
Junge Deutschland_. (check the Library of Congress catalog over the WWW.).
I don't have it at hand, but I believe that the _Organisationsbuch der
NSDAP_ (Munich, Eher, 1943) covers the structure of the HJ. You may also
want to look at the pre-1933 organizational manuals of the SA, as well.
(all available through inter-library loan in the US).
Again, I don't have it at hand, but I also believe that there is
information on the HJ in the _Partei-Statistik_ (4 vols.) published by the
Reichsorganisationsleiter der NSDAP, including a table of its structure.
More easily accessible, Erich Stockhorst's _5000 Koepfe. Wer war was im
Dritten Reich_ has a table of organization for the HJ.
As far as information on individual HJ leaders goes, don't forget that the
holdings of the former BDC (now Bundesarchiv Aussenstelle
Berlin-Zehlendorf) are available on microfilm at the US National Archives
in College Park, Maryland.
If you go beyond the M.A. with the same or a similar topic, don't forget to
check in the Archiv der deutschen Jugendbewegung (Burg Ludwigstein). It has
a wealth of information on all aspects of German youth from the 1890's to
the present, and is a very pleasant place to work.
