    I was actually extremely interested in what Alfons Heck had to say. In actually, Heck and I represent two opposites of an extreme system; I was raised Jewish, Progressive, and with an intense value for life, while he was raised Nazi, Anti-Semitic, and with little personal value for life. Regardless of these extremes, Heck, as he is in the video and I, as I am now, are in perfect agreement about the ideas that pervaded the Hitler Youth: it was an organization for the sole purpose of molding the perfect, Nazi citizen-soldier. I have not changed drastically from my youth, but Heck had changed so much from his. The Heck of the Hitler Youth and the Heck of the video would not be compatible today.…

The Hitler Youth had uniforms, ranks and insignia not unlike those of the SA. Its organisational structure was also familiar: there were local units, regional divisions and a national leadership. Most units of the Hitler Youth met once through the week and another time on weekends, under the counsel of adult party members. They engaged in a range of physical activities and skills training, including sports and games, hiking, orienteering and map-reading, knot-tying and bushcraft.…

    For example, the process of admitting a male youth into Hitler-Jugend started when he is at the age of 10. When the German boy became 10 years old, he would be immediately checked out and inspected according to ethnic purity, and then initiated into the “Deutsches Jungvolk” (“German Young People”). This shows that in general, German boys were raised up from a young age to live for and respect Nazi principles, as well as the fact that they were not raised up with any other morals/principles to compare to. This last fact also proves itself when the youth reaches the age of 13. At 13, he would be qualified to join the Hitler Youth.…

    Hitler Youth was an extension of Hitler's belief that the children were the future of a Nazi Germany. Hitler Youth was originally a program similar to the Boy Scouts of America that was established as early as 1922. In the beginning, the Hitler Youth program was not so popular until Hitler came to power due to the competition of other youth groups that were soon Nazified or disband. By the end of 1933, Hitler Youth had gained over 3.5 million members total. German boys between the ages 14 to 18 were the official members of the Hitler Youth; if they were between the ages of 10 and 14 they were in the Jungvolk, and ages 6 to 10 were allowed to hang around the older boys and participate in Hitler Youth informally.…
