The third WFYS was held in a period of growing international tension between the Soviet Union and the western powers; it took place against the background of the Korean War and the spread of communism in Central Europe and China. The festival was meant to showcase the young German Democratic Republic, formed in the Soviet sector of postwar Germany.

West German police and the US military tried to prevent international delegates from crossing the western sector of Germany to attend the festival. In response, an operation was arranged to smuggle young people across the country in small groups.[4] Jan Myrdal wrote about incidents where young people were shot at by West Berlin police when trying to cross the West German border.[5]

The festival's sports programme featured an athletics competition.[6]
