HitlerJugend "//I begin with the young, we older ones are used up... But my magnificent youngsters! Are there finer ones anywhere in the world? ...What material! With them I can make a new world//." -Adolf Hitler

The Hitler Youth was the safe haven for children who had high hopes for Adolf Hitler. Once you were the age of ten, you were permitted to join the Hitler Youth.

Boys were sworn into the Jungvolk (Young People). The girls joined the Jungmädel (Young Maidens) and later the Bund Deutscher Mädel (League of German Girls). While all of the Hitler Youth was expected to go through 4-7 hours of physical activity a day, the boys and girls had very different "training."

Boys went on camping trips and went through military school, learning war tactics and to stay faithful to their Führer. Girls also learned to stay faithful to their Führer, but were also put through a form of finishing school.

Girls in German were taught by Hitler that, "The German woman does not smoke, does not drink, and does not paint herself with makeup." Back home in America, that was very different for women.
