During World War II there was a movement by Adolf Hitler to exploit the coming generation. He wanted young people to become strong individuals who would promote his ideals and die passionately for them if necessary. I chose to deepen my research on this youth movement. I want to know more about the Hitler Youth. How it began, how it developed, how it was handled, as well as its ultimate end towards the end of World War II are all aspects I would like to know. Let's start with the first demonstration of a youth movement in Germany. Around the year 1890 there was an all-boys group that focused primarily on living a life exploiting the surrounding land and wilderness. This group of kids was called Wandervögel. They were similar to those of the American Boy Scouts. What they wanted was separation from the industrial movement that was taking place in Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm. Wilhelm represented great corporate greed, which the Wandervögel hated from the beginning. The clothing the boys wore as uniforms included shorts and hiking boots, which was contrary to what many young boys would wear. Middle-class boys their age, twelve or so, were seen in collared shirts and trousers. On weekends they hiked and went camping. They became a group of brothers who began greeting each other while promoting the power of individuality. “Heil,” they would say, meaning to say hello. (INSERT QUOTE)After the First World War the Wandervögel disappeared. An entire generation of young Germans was decimated because of the national pride of fighting for their country, but the legacy they left behind has not been forgotten. The Wandervögel's influence had created a wave of new youth organisations. Some were driven by religion…half of the paper…separate division for girls. The League of German Girls is created to guide girls in their roles as women. Becoming good wives for their husbands and raising children. Their slogan was Kinder, Küche, Kirche (children, kitchen and church). Although the church part was not part of the German Girls' League's creed, it was purely for public relations. (INSERT QUOTE) "Girls had to be able to run 60 meters in 14 seconds, throw a ball 12 meters, complete a 2-hour walk, swim 100 meters, and know how to make a bed." (INSERT QUOTE) Later in World War II some girls went to fight in the last Nazi defense in Berlin, but it has been established that they were never allowed to do so (INSERT QUOTE). Another department present at the meeting was a news service established to produce propaganda to combat the “Jewish news monopoly.” (INSERT QUOTE)
