In Detlev Peukert’s “ Young People: For or Against the Nazis?” Peukert dichotomizes what the mindset of the teens and children in Germany, and why they were so adamant about becoming a good citizen in the eyes of the Nazi party. Determining why the youth growing up during the rise of the Nazi party were so willing to follow and support the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler’s reign of supremacy is a fascinating topic to dismember and investigate.…
To what extent was the Hitler Youth used to defend the Third Reich? To answer that question, the Hitler Youth had been used extensively to defend the Third Reich by fighting as soldiers to their death on the front lines. Adolf Hitler was the Dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933-1945. Hitler founded a youth organization ordering all boys and girls ages ten-eighteen to join a youth program that leads to mandatory military service for the Third Reich. The boys and girls ages ten-fourteen fell into the Jungvolk and Jungmadel, respectively.(Bartoletti 23)…
From the children growing up in the German state where oversight was under the Third Reich, in the mid-twentieth century, to the current freshman class of United States Naval Academy – West Point both share a commonality, that can be thought of as shocking and appalling at the same time. This commonality is educational pedagogy, socialisation and training practices that are intrinsically Spartan in origin and modelled on the Spartan agoge. The ultimate outcome was of this learning and training was the creation of a superior male role or figure.…

A reform is the improvement or amendment of what is wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory, etc. Hitler was ruthless in trying to achieve his goal and his methods reflected his violent and aggressive nature.…
Imagine you are a teenage girl who actively believes in ideas that differ from the rest of society. In addition to this, you are born in the tumultuous times of the Nazi Era. How would you react? Would you conform to society’s standards and expectations or stay true with what you believe is morally right? It is a natural human instinct to feel the need to adapt and “fit in,” so that others accept us.…
Universities and schools were all controlled by the Nazi Party. Kids from the age 6 to the age of 18 were required to join groups that were run by Nazis. Boys at the age of 6 started Hitler Youth which taught them the history that the Nazis allowed and athletics. When they were 10 they joined the Jungvolk and after that they would be graduated from the Hitler Youth at the age of 14 and then at the age of 18 they were to join the army. Girls were also included in the Hitler Youth which was called the League of German Girls and they taught the same thing.…
I was actually extremely interested in what Alfons Heck had to say. In actually, Heck and I represent two opposites of an extreme system; I was raised Jewish, Progressive, and with an intense value for life, while he was raised Nazi, Anti-Semitic, and with little personal value for life. Regardless of these extremes, Heck, as he is in the video and I, as I am now, are in perfect agreement about the ideas that pervaded the Hitler Youth: it was an organization for the sole purpose of molding the perfect, Nazi citizen-soldier. I have not changed drastically from my youth, but Heck had changed so much from his. The Heck of the Hitler Youth and the Heck of the video would not be compatible today.…
They would collect materials such as scrap metal, rubber, or paper for the Nazi’s (Zapotocyzny, Jr., Walter S.). They would gang up on foreigners, youngsters, and Jews and beat them up (Gottfried, Ted). Also Hitler had a job for them they would spy on any adult and if they caught the adult speaking badly about Germany they would be reported and punished (Zapotocyzny, Jr., Walter S.). For these reasons, Hitler youth was big part of Hitler’s plan. Lastly, in 1943 Germany had major troop shortages and the children of Hitler youth were sent out to fight.…
The lives of a child, teenager and an adult varies in Germany. In Germany’s case, there were some people who had a better understanding of what was happening in their country, but others that did not seem to focus on the bad but only on the good. Children had a different viewpoint from their parents due to what they see happening in the world around them. Because of their decision, parents generally supported or did not support their children. First, children are the future.…
Young Germans grew up with tales of disgrace from the previous war and were given Hitler as the proposed ticket to the rebirth of their great nation. The propaganda was first introduced at the early age of five with regular radio messages, but to them it was nothing strange, children “swallowed [their] daily dose of nationalistic instruction as naturally as morning milk” . The Nazis wasted no time in brainwashing their nation’s children towards favoring the harsh principles decreed by Hitler. The children, malleable to the manipulation of their elders, were subjugated to the doctrine of teachers while at school and separate from the comfort of their parents. At a young age, Heck already believed in the two fundamental tenets of the Nazi creed: “belief in the innate superiority of the Germanic-Nordic race, and the conviction that total submission to the welfare of the state – personified by the Führer – was [his] first duty” .…
In early 1945, large numbers of youths were forced to drop out of school, and sent to this organization to receive military training after which they had to perform, mostly, suicide missions. Essentially, those young Germans were created by Hitler to serve as an army of fit. They were left only the choice of either following Nazi party orders, or facing trial with the possibility of execution. At the beginning of war, the members in Hitler Youth even amounted to 8.8 million. Once the war began, the numbers declined to just over one million, since many of them were involved in the national army as local and district leaders for which the previous average age was 24.…
