Hitler Youth (sh)




German Hitler-Jugend

Organization set up by Adolf Hitler in 1933 for educating and training male youths aged 13-18 in Nazi principles.

Under the leadership of Baldur von Schirach (1907-1974), by 1935 it included almost 60% of all German boys, and by 1936 it became a state agency that all young "Aryan" Germans were expected to join. The youths lived a Spartan life of dedication, fellowship, and Nazi conformity, with little parental guidance. A parallel organization, the League of German Girls, trained girls for domestic duties and motherhood.
