The Hitler Youth was the youth organization of the Nazi Party in Germany. Its origins dated back to 1922 and it received the name Hitler-Jugend in July 1926. From 1933 until 1945, it was the sole official boy’s youth organisation in Germany and was partially a paramilitary organization; it was composed of the Hitler Youth proper for male youths aged 14 to 18, and the Deutsches Jungvolk, or DJ, for younger boys aged 10 to 14. The members of the Hitler Youth were viewed as ensuring the future of Nazi Germany and were indoctrinated in Nazi ideology, including racism. The Hitler Youth appropriated many of its activities of the Boy Scout movement (which was banned in 1935), including camping and hiking. However, over time it changed in content and intention. For example, many activities closely resembled military training, with weapons training, assault course circuits and basic tactics. The aim was to instill the motivation that would enable its members to fight faithfully for Nazi Germany as soldiers. There was greater emphasis on physical fitness, hardness and military training than on academic study. Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
