Hitler youth?

The reason I chose Hitler youth is it is interesting. It had many historical impacts on the world. They went to camps that were like school. They learned under the beliefs of Hitler. The Hitler started off slow at first with not many kids. It later grew and grew and became very big. They were part of one of the biggest wars in world history. Many of the kids in the youth were around my age. I can relate to some of the problems they were facing. I also find it interesting that they praised him like a god, but to us he is like the complete opposite.

Hitler Youth Significance

The Hitler youth group had many significant roles in history. They left impressions all over the world. It was Hitler's attempt to make perfect Germans. They implanted hatred and pride into the young kids. They brainwashed the kids to make them conform to what they wanted. They also had a significant impact on the brainwashing aspects of the regime. They used the kids as they own personal spy's. Both the schools and youth group were under control of Hitler. The children could never escape the ideas of Nazism. This generation of children were heavily devoted to Hitler and the Nazi regime.

Hitler Youth settlements

Hitler's youth group was in Germany. They had kids from all across Germany. A main reason for this is the Hitler youth became required. It was required when the children reached 10 years of age. The youth was in Berlin. They would then use the children for their own good while training them. They would send their youth to other countries. Their youth would then act as their own personal spies. The youth would then come back and reveal secrets to the SS and Hitler. They would use these secrets to get a head of their enemies.

Hitler Youth Period

The Hitler youth's primary history was from about 1922 to 1946. They had many key points in their history. On March 18, 1992 Hitler proclaimed the first Nazi party youth group. On July 11, 1926 Kurt Gruber is made leader of the Hitler youth group. On August 19, 1927 300 youth members march in the Nuremberg Rally. On July 25, 1930 the Bund Deutscher Madel is founded. On April 13 1932 the SA and Hitler Youth are temporarily banned by the government. On December 30, 1936 Hitler Youth makes membership compulsory for all children agee 10  to18. On March 13, 1942 Hitler orders new military training camps to provide three weeks of mandatory for all boys aged 16 to 18. Lastly on October 1 1946 Hitler Youth leader Baldur von Schirach is sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes against humanity. The Hitler youth group played a big role in history.

Hitler Youth

The Hitler youth was a group of young German boys being taught the beliefs of Hitler. It took place in Berlin, Germany. They were a group of boys that Hitler wanted to make into "perfect" Germans. They aged from 10 to 18 years old. It was mandatory for the boys once they were 10. There training included marching, bayonet drill, grenade throwing, trench digging, map reading, gas defense, use of dugouts, and pistol shooting. There were also camps for girls.
