Adolf Hitler's Propaganda On Youth

Germany’s darkest history all started with the rise of a new Furher named Adolf Hitler. He used his power to infuse insidious propaganda ideas into Germany’s Youth. He believed, as do all communist and socialist, that if you own the youth, you own the future. During Hitler’s rein, he infused his propaganda into the youth of Germany through games, school, movies, radio, songs, poems, and extracurricular activities. One way propaganda was infused into the youth was through games. Nazis filled children’s enthusiasm for both their war effort and genocide party by creating cheerful looking but dangerous board games. Nazi power derived from disturbing design. Manufactures applied symbols of anti- Semitism and death to all the toys, along with other
Hitler had movies created that bluntly stated goals while other subtly stated them through entertainment. Movies were one of the Nazis greatest weapons. The films seemed to be harmless to the public. They seemed to be a tribute to the great Fuher and his beliefs. However, they were propaganda filled films that contained dangerous ideas. The best way to describe Hitler’s propaganda is through a chocolate candy. It seems to be harmless on the outside but the filling on the inside is disgusting and revolting. “From the child’s primer down to the last newspaper, every theatre and every movie house, every advertising pillar and every billboard must be pressed into the service subjected of this one great mission,” –Adolf Hitler. Another way he indoctrinated the youth was through radio. At the end of the day the whole family would sit around and listen to the radio. Sounds like a pretty picture right? Sadly, in Germany this is not such a pretty picture. A special radio was created so it could only be tuned into Nazi approved stations. Once Adolf Hitler said, “All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach. ” He truly believed in his propaganda and how influential it was to Germany’s
In 1939, Hitler put the Boy Scouts on his Verboten List. The Verboten List included any group that would teach kids how to think on their own. If the youth would start to think on their own they would have refuted Hitler’s plan. Therefore, A few years later Hitler officially banned all other groups except Hitler Jugend (Hitler Youth). The boys would specialize in war training and labor work while the girls would learn to raise future soldiers. Hitler trained the girls to be war bearing humans. They were taught to have kids by the plenty and raise them all to be soldiers for the Furher. “The boys and girls lose their freedom from birth. They will never be free again.” –Adolph Hitler. However, the most disturbing thing Hitler said was in his 1935 speech to the Hitler Youth. The speech itself seems harmless and that’s exactly why it’s disturbing. “My German youth, after a year, I can greet you here again. You are here today in this place, a cross section of what is around us in the whole of Germany. We know that you German boys and girls are taking on everything we hope for from Germany. We want to be one people, and you, my youth, are to be this people. We want to see no more class divisions: you must not let this grow up amongst you. We want to see one nation one day, and you must train for it. We want our people to be obedient, and you must practice obedience. We want our people to
