Hitler Youth
By: Brandon Haake
The Hitler Youth was the organization in the Nazi Military that Trained young men and women to become Nazi Soldiers. Inside the Hitler Youth, instructors taught the students enrolled in the program to become members of the Storm Regimint, the adult part of the Nazi Party.
Hitler Jugend, or The Hitler Youth, was formed in 1922 as a type of prepratory program for the SA (Sturmabteilung) or the Adult part of the Nazi Party. The Youth Program was formed from another program called the (Wandervรถgel) Which was a male only Union, much like boyscouts, that helped many young boys learn to live of the land. When this Program started to fall apart in the middle of WW1, it was easy for the young Nazi party to take the Union over and form a training camp for there Army. The Hitler Youth attracted Members by telling poor families in the German Financial Crisis that there was an area where they could come and play with friends, it was a safe place to go when you have nothing else to do, and that they would be supporting there country by joining the Hilter Youth.
As The Hitler Youth Gained Popularity through out the Early 1930's many parents had objections to there children going through the program. Most saw that the program as a Nazi Support Group, and since not all people in Germany supporter Hitler and his Nazi Party, many objected. But even though many parents didn't like what the program was doing, the Hitler Youth maintained a steady rate of incline in its enrollment. As Hitler grew in power, the Hitler youth changed its focuses from more of a camp environment to more of a military training organization. The ideas of Hitler stated to become more enforced on the children enrolled than ideas they supported. Day by day, the Hitler Youth brainwashed German Youth into literally becoming Hitler Youth, they thought the same, wanted the same, and no one apposed the up and coming leader
By the time World War 2 Broke out, with The invasion of Poland by Germany on September 1st, 1939. The Nazi Party, not only had an army to fight the war. They had a never ending stream of youth that, as soon as one man was struck down in battle, another would take his place from the Hitler Youth.
