What was it like?Slide7
BACKGROUND
Can be seen in four phases
Predecessors (1923 – 1926): Small numbersEarly years (1926 – 1932): had to compete with other youth groups but developed in organisation and numbersGovernment years (1933 – 1939): when other independent youth groups were suppressed and young Germans were indoctrinated in preparation for the War
War years (1940 – 1945): played an important part, including the formation of combat units. Slide8
Membership
Membership increased from about 1,000 boys in 1923 to nearly 8 million in 1939 when Hitler launched World War II.
Membership for 1933 onwards was more or less voluntary. The passing of various laws in 1936, 39, and 41 (among other matters) made membership compulsory for all German children beginning at age 10 years.
"The future of the German people depends on its youth. Therefore, all of the German youth must be prepared for its future duties“ (Hitler 1939). Slide9
Principles and Ideology
Hitler was very serious about the Hitler Youth program: it was so useful for his regime
Hitler couldn’t convert all Germans to National Socialism. Many saw through the official propaganda. The younger generation was a different matter: They were much more vulnerable to ideological manipulation. Hitler was sceptical about the schools he inherited in 1933. The Hitler Youth was a program that the NAZIs could completely control. Slide10
Principles and Ideology
Superiority of the German nation and Aryan race
The need of the German people for Lebensraum ("living space") in the east. Anti-semitism
