Hitler Youth members believed “der Fuhrer” was the mightiest of all world leaders. “I knew that wherever the Fuhrer decided was right for Germany, part of our belief was due to our brainwashing in the Hitler Youth and in our schools; but part of it was our feeling that we were smarter than our elders.” -Alfons Heck, German and a member of the Hitler Youth “In March 1939, the Nazis passed a law requiring all Aryan children to join the Hitler Youth. If parents tried to stop their children from joining, the Nazis could take the children away and place them in orphanages, or with other, more loyal families. But most parents didn’t object. The greatest gripe was that the Hitler Youth prevented children from helping with chores on the farm. But that problem was answered in 1939 when the government passed the Reich Youth Service Law, requiring each child to take part in land service during summer and fall to help harvest the crops.” See how the Nazis drove a wedge into the family: Take up their time with seemingly “important” activities, threaten lack of a future if they didn’t participate, teach them that they were smarter than their stupid parents, and create government programs to replace the family unit.
