Nazi Youth Movements And Education Were Not Effective In Controlling Young People
Nazi youth movements and education were effective in controlling young people as the Nazis managed to Nazify children’s lives and brainwash them in to accepting Nazi propaganda and way of thinking. History was based on the glory of Germany - a nationalistic approach was compulsory. The German defeat in 1918 was explained as the work of Jewish and Marxist spies where as Biology became the study of racial theory in an attempt to prove the Nazi belief in racial superiority. This was effective in ensuring that children were having Nazi ideologies installed as priorities as to make it seem normal. Children accepted what they were told and in turn were easily controlled by the Nazis. The Hitler Youth did the same job, controlling the youth by preparing them for the pre planned Nazi future that they believed would involve war. Hitler himself declared "a young German must be as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp's steel.” and the Hitler Youth was used to turn German boys into these ideals. By taking them on camping trips and allowing them to get an effective holiday, the Hitler Youth appealed to many young Germans as they got an effective holiday and time to learn skills. However these trips were just military training, used to prepare boys for war in the future by showing them how to dig trenches and throw grenades. This method of installing social roles was repeated in the female equivalent, the Bund Deutscher Mädel that prepared girls for married life and bearing children. In the same way as the Hitler Youth, this controlled the youth by forcing them into a preplanned Nazi society, where they wouldn’t no any better than what they had been taught.
On the other hand the Nazis actually failed at controlling the youth as seen by the need to make attending meetings to youth movements compulsory as well as the multiple resistances being banned. In 1939
