Hans Scholl's Influence On Hitler Youth

Although it is easy to say that the younger generations were easily won over closer examination revels that they might not have been so submissive. In 1936 the Hitler youth was made an a government agency which young Aryan German's were expected to join, leading us to believe that there may have been considerable numbers not attending these clubs, whether this is their parents protesting about Hitler's fascist rule or the children's personal choice is difficult to say.

"My program for educating youth is hard. Weakness must be hammered away. In my castles of the Teutonic Order a youth will grow up before which the world will tremble. I want a brutal, domineering, fearless, cruel youth. Youth must be all that. It must bear pain. There must be nothing weak and gentle about it. The free, splendid beast of prey must once again flash from its eyes... That is how I will eradicate thousands of years of human domestication... That is how I will create the New Order."

Hans is known as the Jew lover in Molching because he paints over any Jewish slurs for free. For example at work Hans sees:”The words Jewish Filth were spilling over the edges...’do you need some help?’’No, Hans please go away.’ ‘I will come tomorrow,’ he said ‘and repaint your door’” (181-182). This reveals that Hans is courageous and brave because he knows the consequences of painting over Jewish terms, but he doesn’t care. Next, the town of Molching witnessed Jews march to a concentration camp in Dachau. Hans Hubermann had a hard time witnessing this event and which during the event he approaches an old man and offers him some food which later causes him some troubles. In addition death reveals Hans’ thoughts: “If nothing else, the old man will die a human” (395). In this quote death shows the comparison of how that Jew will die compared to the others. Even though treating Jews was looked down upon, Hans Hubermann continued to show sympathy because he believed it was right. Hans never liked Hitler as a leader and wasn’t about to join the Nazi party. But due to suspicion and forceful Nazi laws he submitted an application. Although Hans knew he was unwanted he still bought a copy of Mien Kamp to use as payback for his friend Erik Vandenberg. At the Nazi office a man expressed, “he will never be approved… even if he buys a

During the time of Adolf Hitler, many young German Kids were forced to join the Hitler Youth. Teachers pressured the German students into joining the Hitler Youth program, In “Hitler Youth: Growing up in Hitler’s Shadow,” author Susan Campbell Bartolletti discussed the ways Adolf Hitler used education to further Nazi ideals. To make young Germans into good Nazis, Hitler changed the textbooks and the curriculum, so that it only taught Nazi approved ideas. Hitler also made the German students pledge to him every single day, by saying, “Heil Hitler” to a poster of him and a Nazi flag. Hitler and the Nazis also forced teachers to teach the Nazi ideas to make sure that every German student would grow up to be a good Nazi.

Imagine if instead of going to school you went to the Hitler Youth. The Hitler Youth was as important as regular school was. The Hitler Youth was Hitler's belief of what people should be: “The weak must be chiselled away. I want young men and women who can suffer pain. A young German must be as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp’s steel.” Hitler was teaching the youth what he thought was right.

“Young boys were organized into the Deutches Jungvolk (German Young People, informally called Pimpfe), older boys into the Hitlerjugend (HJ). The Deutches Jungvolk could have boys from the ages of 10-14 and the Hitlerjugend could have boys from the ages of 14-18. When World War II started, more than ninety percent of German youth were members of these organizations. Ninety percent is a huge percentage. That means that almost every teenage German, Gentile was a member of some kind of Nazi Youth Organization. Many of these youth organization actually over rid the parental control on the children. Many were told that the individual or the family was less important than the state. If children had disloyal parents, they were encouraged to report them. When the boys weren’t in school or at home with their parents, they were with their youth organization learning military maneuvers and different chants. An example of the one the chants that the Hitler Youth used to march around chanting are: “Comrades, we march to the field, red today, tomorrow dead, Comrades it must be that way.” If the boys made any achievement in the Hitler Youth, credit in school would be given to the student. The teacher must respect the authority of the youth leaders, regardless of their age or attitude towards them. Blind obedience seems to be a common theme. Children are taught these ideologies without knowing the true real reason. Teachers are forced to believe and follow these ideologies if they wish to

Action. Fun. Adventure. These were the things promised to children as young as ten, who were lured by Hitler Youth and BDM organizations. By training the children rigorously and implementing Nazi Germany’s core beliefs in them, Hitler formed future Nazi citizens that would be willing to sacrifice their lives for him and the Third Reich. In 1920, Hitler approved the founding of Hitler Youth which modeled a previous youth group who distinguished themselves through clothing and such, wanting to reconnect Germans with the land ( Lisciotto). The brainwashing of Germany’s children through the use of Hitler Youth programs was unethical: it was created to mold children into perfect Nazi citizens, implementing a deep sense of racial superiority taught by teachers: infusing deep hatred for anything the Nazis considered a threat to Germany, and due to Hitler Youth teachings of reporting adults who were not law-abiding citizens, it led to children reporting their parents out of duty to the Third Reich.

The Hitler Youth was for boys ages 14 to 18. The organisation was similar to scouts and would do things such as learning about survive skills and they would go on camps. The Hitler Youth was used to turn train children to become part of the Strom Regiment. The Storm Regiment was a wing of the Nazi Party. There was a large focus on physical training to get the youth members ready to be soldiers. To help this the Hitler Youth organised a lot of sport activates for youth all around Germany. The Hitler Youth would also teach their members to use guns and other basic military practices. The Hitler Youth also had a very strong belief of racism. The Nazi’s believed they were a superior race, this belief was taught to the Hitler Youth. The members of the youth were taught to be racist. Nazi’s also hated Christianity, and the perfect tool to stop it was the Hitler Youth. The youth members of the youth would infiltrate Church groups and spy on the church goers. This would usually end in multiple arrests for religious practices.

He believes that “he couldn’t join a party that antagonized people in such a way...Like many of the Jews believed, he didn’t think the hatred could last. and it was a conscious decision not to follow Hitler. On many levels, it was a disastrous one” (180) .He demonstrates that he doesn’t agree with the Party’s views by, before the war, painting the houses of Jewish people and helping them. Also, during the war, Hans gave bread to Jewish prisoners marching through their neighborhood. After he was whipped for doing so, in part seven, it says, “...[his] cart was turned over and paint flowed onto the street. They called him a Jew lover” (395). Another thing he did was hesitate to join the Nazi Party. This exemplifies that he does not agree with the views of the Nazis, but he puts in an application to join so that his family is protected. This application acts as an illusion of loyalty to the Nazi Party. The way he feels about the Nazi’s views illustrates character traits of his, like him being headstrong in his opinions and his sympathetic nature in that he continuously pities and tries to help Jewish

The Hubermanns had thought that Liesel’s mother had fallen into the hands of the Nazi’s. In what important respect did Hans Junior differ from his father? He was very cruel and cold to people and unwavering in his devotion to Hitler.

Hans Hubermann was affected by the Nazi Party He needed to become a member of the Nazi Party for the safety of his family. He didn't get accepted for a long time because of the things he had done for the jews, like the time

I am most surprised by their age. At this time the Volk was everywhere. It was loved by many and of all ages. The Volk was an impressive love for the land and the entirety of a proud Germany. With how loved this ideology was, it is not hard to understand why so many Germans chose to support this. The youth was also largely supportive of this movement with organizations such as ‘Hitler’s Youth’. With so much influence in the world around them, it is also easier to understand why Hans and Sophie both joined ‘Hitler’s Youth’. What is so astonishing to me is that while the rest of the German youth is pouring themselves into these organizations and so blindly supporting what they do not fully understand, the White Rose is fighting. Instead of

From the time Adolf Hitler came into office in 1933, up to the time when Germany surrendered to the Allied forces and Hitler committed suicide in 1945; the future for Germany became strongly invested in the hands of the younger generations. The Hitler Youth was a paramilitary organization formed in 1926. It gave kids excitement, adventure and new heroes to idolize. Hitler admired young kids drive, energy and strong love for Germany. He recognized these qualities and made it part of his plan to control the future world but the real question is why did Adolf Hitler pick children for his future? The education and the lack of schooling in independent thinking that instilled the ideology that brainwashed the Hitler- Jugend and eventually led

The Hitler Youth was the extension of Hitler’s belief to the youth in Germany. Hitler believed that the future of Nazi Germany was its children. The organization origins way back to 1922. From 1935 to 1945, it was the biggest youth organization in all of Germany, although it was an illegal and unconstitutional group, indoctrinated into racism. By 1933, there was 100,000 members, pure Germans only. Hitler’s sole purpose was for the youth to carry on the Nazi’s idealistic opinions. Really, putting them in his preferred mindset and turning them into weapons. Oftentimes, the children's parents were threatened had little say in the matter.

All single and married women up to the age of thirty-five who do not already have four children should be obligated to produce four children by radically pure, German men.” This statement was made by Hitler’s government in 1933 that became a further law in Germany. Analyzing this argument it’s possible to say that Hitler Youth movement started before the birth of the child.
