Nazi Policies towards the Youth
“In my great educative work I am beginning
with the young. We older ones are used
up…We are cowardly and sentimental…I
intend to have an athletic youth…In this way
I shall eradicate the thousands of years of
human domestication. Then I shall have in
front of me the pure and noble natural
material. With that I can create the new
order.” - Hitler

11. Successes and Failures
of Hitler’s Youth
• Construct a dialogue between two 16 year olds set in
1940 – one a young man, the other a young woman.
• The man should start by explaining to the woman the
different youth organisations he has been in since the
age of 6. He should then move on to explain what he
liked about those organisations, and then end by
saying why he now getting fed up with them.
• The woman should then reply following the same
format.
• Conduct extra research and break the dialogue up
more naturally if you wish to do a really good job, and
highlight key words in bold.

that “The whole function of education is
to create Nazis”.

24. Education was controlled by the Nazis
• Children were taught about the greatness of Hitler e.g.. on his birthday
they had to place flowers behind the pictures of Hitler at home and at
school.
Primary Schools
• Children were taught fairy stories of Nazi knights who saved maidens from
bad Russian gnomes. In maths the young child had to count the number
of SS guards.
• From birth children were told that the Germans were the master race.
Secondary school
• Teachers had to be Nazi members.
• The secondary curriculum included biology, which emphasised the
supremacy of the German race. In History Germans were taught how the
Treaty of Versailles was unfair. In Maths questions included the area of a
swastika.

25. A visit to a Nazi girls’ school, recorded in ‘Education for
Death’ by Gregor Ziemer in 1942.
‘The school bell called the girls…before I visited the
classes I spoke to the head teacher. She told me that
every class in the school was built around a course called
‘Activities of women’. This course was divided into
handwork, domestic science, cooking, house and
garden work – and the most section – breeding and
hygiene. This section dealt with sex education, birth,
childcare…’

boys
‘German Language, History, Geography, Chemistry and

heroes…15% of time was given to Physical Education and
boxing was compulsory”

boys curriculum in this way?

28. • Many teachers were pro Nazi as they had been poorly paid
during the Weimar period.
• The Nazi’s were nevertheless keen to keep control of the
teaching profession.
• Membership of the Nazi Teachers’ Association became
compulsory after 1933. This made the process of
indoctrination much easier for the Nazi Party, with teacher’s
being only too willing to pass on Nazi Ideas within the
classroom.
• Those teacher’s who were thought to be lacking in loyalty
and not willing to ‘defend without reservation the National-
Socialist state’ were sacked.
