Overview

Hitler Youth

Brenda Ralph Lewis

Between 1933 and 1945 the entire youth of Germany became a limb of the Nazi Party, educated and trained to serve the needs and desires of National Socialism in its quest to establish a 1,000-year Reich. Hitler Youth examines the manipulation and corruption of a whole generation of German youth under the Nazis: the various youth organizations, the Nazi education system, and how the authorities gradually weaned children from their families. Includes a chapter on the military record of the infamous Hitlerjugend Division.
