Joseph Ratzinger, who much later in life became Pope Benedict XVI, was in the Hitler Youth for 4 years, from 1941 to 1945. Bear in mind that his membership was required by law, rather than being his choice, and he did not attend meetings. There is no evidence that he ever considered himself to be a Nazi.

How did Adolph Hitler get youth to join the Adolph Hitler youth?

Even though Hitler did not win the WW2, he had a lot of help from Hitler Youth (HJ). Hitler youth gained massive support from the future generation and the PARENTS.

How were Hitler and Stalin similar in their desire to have young followers?

Young followers are indoctinrated early. Nazi Germany had the Hitler Youth (HJ) and the German Women's Group (BDM) and the USSR had the Young Pioneers, both of which are similar to the Boys and Girls Scouts in America. Any strong government needs a "militant" or regimented youth organization. Hitler and Stalin were not unique in this, nor does it make them any more similar to each other than if they were compared to any other country. Any leader wants the youth indoctrinated with their ideals because they're fervent and more active than older followers and generally tend to stay in that direction through their life, meaning life-long servants (or voters) for the country.
