How significant was the role of the youth in germany during 1933 to 1945? When hitler claimed power of germany in 1933 the children were at a great advantage for wars against other countries . The educations was drastically changed and created anger against over races. The children were forced to train at the age of five years old to twenty one before they were put into the war.

Adolf Hitler created the Hitler Youth program in 1922. That year, a whole new reign of darkness started and evil started. Hitler just kept blasting his ideas into their heads, and as little children, they could do very little to resist. Hitler had just found a whole new source of evil in the form of children. According to Susan Bartoletti, “Many kids in Hitler Youth thought that Hitler was their savior” (Bartoletti, #). Hitler definitely had a major power issue. He always had to be in control; he had this uncontrollable need to make people think of him as a god. Susan Bartoletti also said, “Most of the kids hated the Allied forces. Some of them [kids in the Hitler Youth] even became neo-Nazis” (---, #). Hitler wanted to make sure that when he disappeared, someone could still carry out his plans. This is Hitler’s fail-safe plan. The Hitler Youth was a terrible program that was created just to feed Hitler’s crazy power issues and as a fail-safe.…
finding the solution? The solution depends on the person and their own individual preferences and personality. In the story “Hitler Youth: Growing Up Under Hitler’s Shadow”, the author (Susan Campbell Bartoletti) tells the story of a girl named Sophie, who had to keep her beliefs to herself in Nazi Germany, but felt unable to continue feigning her belief in National Socialism; while Anne Frank wrote in her diary (“Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl”) about how she had possessions that she personally liked and considered important to her, which helped her keep some of her personal beliefs intact during World War 2. Maintaining individuality is a great way…
Stephen J. Lee confirms this by stating that, 'indoctrination as a long-term process could be most effectively applied to Germany's Youth'. This reflects Hitler's aim to indoctrinate the whole of the youth in preparation for a Nazi state. The main form of indoctrination and inclusion in Nazi Germany was the Hitler Youth. The government appealed to the youth to encourage them to join the Hitler Youth (before it was made compulsory in March of 1939). This is shown by the speech made by the German Young People leader before a child's vow to the Fuhrer: 'this hour in which you are to be received into the great community of the Hitler Youth is a very happy one...with your vow and your commitment you now become a bearer of German spirit and German honour'. This would have made the child feel patriotic and like they were participating in something great. The popularity of the Hitler Youth is confirmed by the huge increase in membership between 1933 and 1938.…
“They are somehow engaged in something from which they cannot liberate themselves. They are locked into a structure, and they do not have the skills or inner resources to disengage themselves” (Meyer, 1970). During the 1930’s: young boys were trained to murder without feelings of remorse and young girls promised to bear children for the next generation of the “master race”. By adulthood, these children were willing to live and die for Hitler. The question is; why did they decide to follow Hitler? This question can be answered through a sociological perspective. By looking at Hitler’s training techniques for Hitler Youth, several experiments conducted by “experts” and evaluating their effect on obedience and will; we can explain why a good…

When Adolf Hitler rose to German power in the 1930's, he poisoned the minds of millions of people when he used propaganda to turn the country against the Jews. In the online museum exhibit entitled "German children reading an antisemitic schoolbook," it describes an image showing several children, appearing under the age of 10, reading the book The Poisonous Mushroom. This image shows that Hitler would stop at nothing to put a bad image of Jewish people in the minds of Germans, including children. This was unfortunately effective in persuading Germans against Jews as it was teaching children who are very social and children hardly forget things taught to them by books and other child-aimed…
Conformity: The Compliance of Standards During Conflict Conflict is caused by many things, and conflict affected many lives. There are many ways to deal with such conflict, one of them being conformity. Conformity is convenient and effective tool that is used in a time of conflict. Susan Bartoletti, the author of Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler’s Shadow, told the story of Sophie Scholl’s conformity and Joanne Oppenheim, the author of Dear Miss Breed, shared the experiences of young Japanese Americans in internment. Both these authors, along with a few other authors, showed how conformity can help in a time of conflict, reasons not to resist the ways of the other party, and how one can comply while resisting the ideas of the other party.…

In Between Dignity and Despair, Marion Kaplan describes the everyday struggles of the Jewish people in Germany. From beatings to starvation, Jews suffered everything in between. Kaplan makes two main arguments throughout the book, that one; women played a very large role in the survival of families, and two; non-Jewish German neighbors were oppressors, not just bystanders.…
The Nazis affected the lives of the young people in many ways after 1933. The reason for this was to almost brainwash them so that they believed in the Nazi views too. They chose the young people as they would be the next generation and so if the 1000 year plan was to continue they would need the youth to be on their side. Also they spotted that the youth were very impressionable and so easy to turn onto their side.…
After the failure of the putsch on November 9, 1923 and his “one year” imprisonment, Adolf Hitler realized that he needed to change his approach in order to seize the power he desired. In order to overthrow the government, Hitler needed to use democracy. After the stock market crash in 1929, the notion of Hitler becoming the leader became more tempting for the Germans. Using the tragic state of the economy to rise to power, Hitler managed to become Chancellor in 1933. This essay will discuss why Hitler was able seize so much power by inspecting the Treaty of Versailles, his political abilities and use of propaganda, and the stock market crash.…
