One of the most influential types of weapons that were utilized during any war starting from World War I was the propaganda actively used by both sides of the conflict. The opposite propaganda powers promoted their own understanding of the situation and their own vision of the events.

The youth were bombarded with ideas that Aryans were the superior race, while Jews and non-Aryans were parasites incapable of creating civilization, bringing destruction towards the Germans. Hitler was attempting to raise young “race-conscious, obedient, self-sacrificing Germans who would be willing to die for Führer and Fatherland” (www.ushmm.org, 12/18/16). Children would celebrate Hitler’s birthday, which became a national holiday during his rule, and the youth would pledge to serve its nation and become a soldier under the leader in the future. Toys and board games would serve as a tool of propaganda by influencing them into militarism. These camps also had fun extracurricular activities like sports and outdoor games, luring in even…

The superficial characteristics of the Nazis such as sharp uniforms and skilled marching bands were appealing to Hans and his “budding sense of masculinity”.2 With the military-styled discipline of their members and constant display of the swastika symbol, the NSDAP stood apart from their political opponents, and most importantly, they appealed to the growing masculinity of young German boys, just as they did for Hans. While this initial support was routed in spectacle, the Nazi government began to instill their political ideologies in German youth culture when they seized power in 1933 and Hitler himself outlined his reasoning for this policy: “I begin with the young. We older ones are used up. We are rotten to the marrow… But my magnificent youngsters!…
