When the girls or boys would reach the age of ten then it would be mandatory for them to join the Nazi youth up until the age of 17, this became mandatory in 1936. The Hitler youth and League of German Girls worked together to plan events such as weekend camping trips and after school meetings with the aim to train the children to become loyal to the Nazi party and those who would become leaders of the state. 765 000 younglings had leadership roles in the Nazi youth by September 1939 which would initially prepare them for similar roles in the German state as well as the military.
