Sorry, but the above answerer has obviously confused the Hitler Youth with the failed Nazi takeover of Germany in 1923. Ten years later in 1933, the Nazis did take over Germany with Hitler as their leader. In 1934 Hitler wiped out his only serious Nazi rival, Ernst Rohm, leader of the SA (the guys in the brown uniforms) and replaced him with Heinrich Himmler and the SS (the guys in the black uniforms). The brown uniform of the Hitler Youth was somewhat similar to that of the SA, which probably caused confusion of the two organizations to the previous answerer.

To answer the original question, the Hitler Youth was formed as a Nazi counterpart to the Boy Scouts, and to indoctrinate German boys into the Nazi mindset. It was not the only time that the Nazis took inspiration from outside Germany. Heinrich Himmler intended that his SS should be to Nazism what the Jesuit order was to Catholicism.

Hitler started the Hitler youth to train young men to be the most elite soldiers and Nazis they could be in order to build the most successful army and to teach them that they are better then Jews and gays and all them. He also wanted to form a super race.

Answer 2

Because he wanted to "prepare" young girls and boys to do their part when the were old enough to actaually be part of the war. It was all about preperation. At least that's what he thought I think. The holocause was a terrible time wasn't it?

Answer 3

The main purpose of the Hitler Youth was, as with much of Hitler's Propaganda, to indoctrinate the German Youth with anti-Semitism and "pro-Hitlerism" (for lack of a better word). Hitler was all too aware that youth is the time when the mind is the most culpable and prone to molding.

The Hitler Youth also stressed physical strength, even over academia, and prepared the youth to fight, and die, as faithful soldiers for the Third Reich. Hitler Youth activities included weapons training, assault course circuits and basic tactics. Apparently Hitler shared some of Darwin's views of "survival of the fittest" as hazing was actually encouraged in order to "weed out" the weak and further strengthen those already strong.

Answer 4

I'm not to sure if this is completely correct but here is my answer :) During the years 1922-1945 a "Hitler Youth" movement was created, the nature and purpose of the "Hitler Youth movement" included many reasons such as it allowed Hitler popularity with young people because they were Germany's future therefore played a vital role in a better Germany, this gained Hitler a chance for naïve children to follow his command. Hitler wanted to introduce young boys into a soldier life so that one day they would fight to protect their country in order to allow Hitler more power. The youth movement for girls put them in their place and presented to them what was expected of them as young woman to be the future mothers of important pure bred Germans. The nature of "Hitler Youth" was to prepare young boys for a service in the military, it allowed them to learn skills such as: marching, bayonet drill, grenade throwing, trench digging, map reading, gas defence, use of dugouts, how to get under barbed wire and pistol shooting. Another purpose was to keep track of what the peers of young children thought of this new Governments policies and Nazis would persuade the members of the group to tell them whether their parents spoke highly of Hitler or not, if not their parents would be arrested and sent away for "re-education". Movements were set up also to raise money for Nazi charity, young boys or girls would be sent to collect money from the public for the militaries needs. Joining the Hitler youth movement gave youngsters opportunities to go away on holidays to harden their character by having their physical and mental strength disciplined and improved in order for them to obey their government in a brainwashing sense. Hope it helped xxxx

Answer 5

No one denies that Hitler was a very bad man, and no one denies that the Hitler Youth was a training camp for future Nazis, but membership in the Hitler Youth was not forced! Evidently, some people have trouble comprehending that "innocent children" would join such an organization. Well, sorry, but it happens to be true. Furthermore, some of these "innocent children" turned over their parents to the Gestapo for treason.

• The Hitler Youth was for boys only, many of whom would become German soldiers when they grew up. The League of German Girls was the female equivalent of the Hitler Youth, and they also wore uniforms. Their primary purpose was was to become mothers of more German soldiers when they grew up.

• Mussolini's Italian equivalent to the Hitler Youth was the Young Fascist League, and they were called up for combat in 1943, just as the Hitler Youth was in 1945.

• The closest US equivalent to the Hitler Youth was the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), part of Roosevelt's New Deal. A former CCC member once told me that if they had been given combat training, the US would have entered the war with the best army in the world, but there was too much opposition from the Isolationists.

• Instead of joining the Hitler Youth, thousands of German boys joined gangs known as Edelweiss Pirates. They were anti-Nazi, with their own homemade uniforms, and they were constantly at odds with the Hitler Youth. After the war began, these German boys resisted the Nazis more actively with sabotage and assassination until the war's end.

Germany's society grew on the basis of getting volunteers for differents tasks when Hitler was on command. The youth movement was a voluteer movement. The media effort trying get voluteers was a massive effort and it payed well. The youth movement had At the end of 1933, 2,300,000 members.

Answer 6

Its initial aim was to get children to join the army, but it failed

Answer 7

The goal of the Hitler Youth was to teach the boys to be soldiers by training them while the girls were to learn how to be the wives of these new soldiers.
