It is clear that the Nazi Youth organizations were an important and significant matter in

Germany that brainwashed young people. They were organizations that Hitler created to
occupy the minds of the young in Nazi Germany. The Nazi Youth Organizations were a logical
extension of Hitlers belief that the future of Germany would be its children. Nazi leaders had
begun to organize groups that would train young people according to Nazi principles.

By 1936, all “Aryan” children in Germany over the age of six were required to join a Nazi
youth group. At ten, boys were initiated into the Jungvolk (Young People), and at 14 they
were promoted to the Hitler Youth. Their sisters joined the Jungmädel (Young Girls) and
were later promoted to the League of German Girls. Hitler hoped that these young people
will learn nothing else but how to think German and act German, and they will never be free
again, not in their whole lives. Although membership in the Hitler Youth organizations was
compulsory, many young people did not have to be forced to join. In fact, they were eager
to do so, drawn by the sense of belonging and importance they felt as members of these
groups.
