Hitler Youth

Hitler Youth

 German Hitler-Jugend

Organization set up by Adolf Hitler in 1933 for educating and training male youths aged 13–18 in Nazi principles. Under the leadership of Baldur von Schirach (1907–1974), by 1935 it included almost 60% of all German boys, and by 1936 it became a state agency that all young “Aryan” Germans were expected to join. The youths lived a Spartan life of dedication, fellowship, and Nazi conformity, with little parental guidance. A parallel organization, the League of German Girls, trained girls for domestic duties and motherhood.
