schools changed severely. Using the school system, Hitler used propaganda to introduce the German youth to the Nazi ideology.
During 1936, the participation in Nazi youth groups became compulsory for both girls and boys between the ages of ten and seventeen.
The League of German Maidens was formed as the female section of the Hitler Youth movement, for girls ages ten to eighteen. These girls were taught that their duties as future Nazi mothers and wives, was to give birth to a large amount of children, to assist Germany in winning the racial struggle. Girls were also expected to keep an eye on their physical activeness and grace by doing gymnastics.
