The Most Important Reason Why Young people Supported The Nazis Was The Excitement And Activities Of The Hitler Youth. How Far Do You Agree With This Statement?

Young people supported the Nazis because of the excitement and activities. However there were other reasons, which attracted young people into supporting the Nazis, I will explain these in my essay.

I agree with the statement ‘the most important reason why young people supported the Nazis was the excitement and the activities’. The youths took part in many activities such as marching, signalling, fixing bikes, collecting scrap metal etc…

There was a large emphasis on sport and fitness, this built up teamwork. They learnt about Nazi theory, which was all about the Nazis views such as Nationalism. I think the most controversial aspect they learnt was whilst they were attending summer camps, where they trained for war.

This was very fun for them but at the same time it was preparing them for Hitler’s army, which is exactly where they went after their education. The excitement came from feeling important when they were wearing there uniforms and when going on marches. They basically learnt all about the Nazis and war, which links to my next point.
