These Factors Enabled Hitler To Influence Young People In Germany;
. Education Policy
. Youth Organisations
. Persecution
Which of these factors was most important?
Hitler influenced the young people of Germany very skillfully, he made sure that they were constantly surrounded by the Nazi ideals, and that all they knew was what Hitler wanted them to know. He did this by indocrinating them with Nazi teachings at school, at youth organisations and by persecuting those who did not conform or those who were not Aryans.
Hitler influenced the youth of Germany through youth organisation like the Hitler Youth and The League of German Maidens. Hitler Youth was for boys, here they took part in many physical activites, they marched and at on older age they engaged in military training activities. This made boys into soldiers as they became strong and disciplined. The League of German Maidens was for girls, they also engaged ion some physical activity, but they mostly learnt how to cook and about being a mother and wife. This made girls into housewives who stayed home, raised children, cooked and cleaned. Both of these organisations made young people conform with the Nazi ideals, however this was not the most important factor of Hitler’s influence over young German people, as some children did not take part and rebelled against this.
