The Hitler Youth was established by Adolf Hitler in 1933 as a way to indoctrinate young Germans into Nazi ideology and prepare them for future roles in the regime. It became a state agency in 1936, requiring all young "Aryan" Germans to join1. The organization trained boys in military discipline and Nazi principles, while girls were prepared for domestic duties and motherhood. By controlling youth education and activities, the Nazis aimed to ensure unwavering loyalty to Hitler and his vision for Germany2. It's a dark chapter in history, but understanding it helps us recognize the dangers of propaganda and authoritarian control.
