From the time Adolf Hitler took office in 1933, until the time Germany surrendered to the Allied forces and Hitler committed suicide in 1945; Germany's future has been heavily invested in the hands of the younger generations. The Hitler Youth was a paramilitary organization founded in 1926. It offered children excitement, adventure, and new heroes to idolize. Hitler admired the kids' drive, energy and strong love for Germany. He recognized these qualities and incorporated them into his plan to control the future world, but the real question is: why did Adolf Hitler choose children for his future? The upbringing and lack of education in independent thinking that instilled the ideology that brainwashed the Hitler Youth and ultimately led some to the grave. Through this article you will gain knowledge about the Hitler Youth; the history of the organization, the education followed by young people and the military involvement towards the end of the Second World War. The Hitler Youth was a Nazi Party organization that was officially formed at the Second Reichsparteitag (Reich Party Day) on July 4, 1926; Kurt Gruber was its leader. The Hitler Youth was made up of three sections, two male and one female. The Hitler Jugend proper (HJ) for young males aged 14 to 18, the youngest male section, the Deutsches Jungvolk (German Youth) for those aged 10 to 14. And the female section from 10 to 18 years old, the Bund Deutcher Madel (the German Girls' league). 1933 was the year that changed the future of the HJ. Hitler was appointed Chancellor on 30 January 1933 and formally took office in March of that year. Hitler then disbanded over 400 youth groups and encouraged youth from the canceled groups to join the HJ. Due to Hitler's demolition... half of the paper... 7.5 million German boys and girls belonging to the HJ. In August 1940 Arthur Axman became the new leader of the HJ; he was much stricter in his policies and activities than Baldur von Schirach; who became Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter of Austria. The young HJs were ordered to behave more like adult Nazis than before. They were trained to be the elite of their generation; they were to be the future of Germany. The training of the future elite was carried out by a three-stage system: first the Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalt or Napola which is the national political educational institution and the Adolf Hitler Schools. Secondly the Ordensburgen, the brotherhood castles, and finally the Hohe Schulen, the high schools. This was the ultimate form of brainwashing because boys were removed from their parents' homes at a young age and became Hitler's young soldiers..
