Watch The Hitler Youth

Shortly before the end of the war, Hitler sent children into a battle which had long since been lost, and, many young people marched enthusiastically to their imprisonment or death. The effects of the trauma, the abuse of an entire generation, continue up to the present day.

Whether as helpers with the harvest, collectors of reusable materials or informers, everyone in the Hitler Youth had a role. It would not have been possible to maintain the National Socialist state without the participation of its youngest members. Drilled in unquestioning obedience, there was just one destiny for young people in the end: to be the reserve army for Hitler's war.

The future elite of the "thousand year Reich",were brought up to hate Jews, instilled with the delusion of the "master race", and drilled to be obedient until death. The Nazi regime had access to the everyday lives of young girls and boys, their development, and their futures. The indoctrination also took place in the National Political Institutes of Education, the Third Reich's elite schools.
