How did the Nazis deal with young people?
By Gonzalo Frias Elena Piñon.

Introduction Hitler focused specifically on young
people because he realized that they were the
next generation of Germans. He censored schools,
trying to get every Aryan boy to enter the Nazis.
He even created an organization called the Hitler
Youth. This program consisted on taking young
children away from their homes and placing them
under the control of the Nazi government.
3
The Hitler Youth was seen as being as important
to a child as school was, because Hitler
believed that the future of Nazi Germany was in
its children. In it, boys were prepared for
military service while girls were trained for
motherhood.
4
The Nazis used posters like this to attract young
people to join them. The Nazis wanted all young
people to become loyal followers of Hitler. So in
the 1920s he created the Hitler Youth. The Hitler
Youth was intended to bring up "Aryan" German
young people as true Nazis.
5
Boys at 10, joined the Deutsches Jungvolk (German
Young People) until the age of 13 when they were
transferred to the Hitler Jugend (Hitler Youth)
until the age of 18. There was even a special
Hitler Youth division made up of 20,000 boy
soldiers.

Boys also had to try to shoot down Allied
aircraft.

The Bund Deutscher Mädel or BDM (The League of
German Girls), was the only female youth
organization in Nazi Germany. It was the female
branch of the overall Nazi Party youth movement,
the Hitler Youth.

used to attract young women.

The Hitler No One Knows 100 Pictures of the Life
of the Führer by Heinrich Hoffmann .In 1940,
420,000 copies had been printed.

You can realise in this source how young the
children when they started being part of Hitler
Youth were. Why did Hitler do this? He figured
that if they were taught the Nazi way from a
young age, they would stick to it, in other
words, he brainwashed young people.
13
Hitler used posters like these ones so to give a
lot of propaganda to Hitler Youth. At first, boys
could join the Hitler Youth at the young age of
14 but in 1936, membership became unavoidable.
14
Young children what do you know about your
leader? This poster was a way of showing the
kind side of Hitler, a man who cares about the
future of yong children in Germany.
15
Hitler liked to portray himself as greatly caring
for children.

The opposition
Despite the fact that many young people were in
favor or the Nazis, there were some opposite
movements. The most famous ones were The Swing
Youth and The Edelweiss Pirates
18
These were members of The Edelweiss Pirates. The
Edelweiss Pirates used direct and aggressive
methods of resistance. They were determined to
defeat Nazism not only through small-scale
aggression, but also with direct and organized
violence.

The Swing Youth, on the other hand, used cultural
transformations.
