Hitler youth organization By : Katie McGuire & Sierra Nazlerod

Hitler firmly believed that the future of Nazi Germany rested in its children. Was founded in 1922 children could officially join at age 10 Children were taught "racial pride" Children were told to avoid any contact with Jews The layout of the organization was based on military formations (having squads, platoons, and companies) The organization was divided into two branches, one for each gender, and then two more, for 10-14 year old's, and 14-18 year old's Basic Information Grundinformation

Hitler's boy soldiers Hitler Jungensoldaten

What were they taught? How to dig trenches Pistol shooting How to march Grenade throwing Map reading Gas defense Bayonet drills Use of dugouts Men were trained for 10-18 for the military.  From very impressionable ages, they were taught things like gas defense, how to march and shoot pistols,how to get under barbed wire, map reading,trench digging grenade throwing, and fierce discipline. Hitler was very favorable of the idea that the Nazi ideas needed to be pressed onto the children at early ages.When Hitler came to power,not only did he change after school activities fir the children, he also changed the school system to favor himself and the Nazi party. This, coupled with the fact that the children were taught racial pride, started what's called a domino effect.The children would be taught early on, would go to these meetings( along with the changed school system), and would join the military early on.This lead to these children needing severe rehabilitation at the end of the war.
