The Hitler Youth was the start of military training for young people.

Older boys could be promoted to become platoon leaders.

Children were still able to take part in sport in Germany if they were not members of the Hitler Youth.

Some children who were part of the Hitler Youth felt more at ease in the group than they did at home with their parents.

The Hitler Youth gave young children a sense of importance and it also gave them recognition.

The highlight of the year for the Hitler Youth was the annual swimming championships.

The Hitler Youth was founded at the start of the Second World War.

One way to think of what Hitler did when creating the Hitler Youth was that it was like a “mass hypnosis”.

German schools fortunately managed to stay out of Nazi control, which was a great help for them. 

The saying, “Every little drop wears away a stone”, as used in the video, means that one will eventually get irritated if someone keeps on nagging.

Hitler believed that it was the duty of young Germans to join the Hitler Jugend as they were the future of the German Reich.

The Hitler Youth could be said to enforce stereotypes of what male and female roles should be in society.
