How were Nazi children raised?

Answer 1

Hitler as a feminine boy who was obsequious towards superiors and displayed homosexual tendencies. His sense of grievance over his own humiliation led to his cruelty and policy of mass slaughter.

Hitler's narcissistic thirst to control was far beyond just young people. However, one would think this was a practical movement as the young are more vulnerable and minds can be easily suggested and swayed and the undeveloped ego of a young mind into rebellion and far more exciting than "being good".

Young people have little reference as to consequences of their actions and many sick leaders have used the young and vulnerable in war. For example, Rwanda gave its teen population guns to kill in civil war because it is easier to get a starving teenager whose emotions are not in tact to kill. As did the USA when they sent 17-21 y/o to Vietnam, these young people had no real concept of death - and are easily brainwashed. The military still prefer young fresh minds rather than experienced older minds when it comes to killing.

The attractions was easy - would you not rather be feed and have money, and be treated like an adult during a time when food and funds were scarce - even your parents could not tell you what to do as the youth became the bread winners of family? For boys, adulthood is still measured by money and the ability to be tough.

Answer 2

By threatening their parents. Actually, it was the other way around. They controlled the adults by threatening to kill the kids. Though any kid 15 or 16 and under that didn't look fit enough were sent to die almost immediately, if not immediately.

Answer 3

It was probably either because children are more impressionable than adults and would be easier to convice about things, or that the children he convinced would grow up to be adults and have their own children, and would tell them that that was right and make a chain?
