| Summary |
"Fed by compulsory enrollment, by 1938 the Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend) was 8.7 million members strong and growing. Koch, himself a former Hitler Youth, brings a unique sensitivity and perspective to the history of one of the most fascinating vehicles for Nazi thought and propaganda. He traces the Hitler Youth movement from its antecedents in nineteenth-century German romanticism and pre-1914 youth culture, through the World War I radicalization of German youth, to its ultimate exploitation by the Nazi Party." |
|
"Ruthlessly indoctrinated into the ideals of a New Germany and a "Final Victory," and skillfully organized into quasi-military corps, members of the Hitler Youth later led the Fuhrer's voracious war machine and contributed to the Third Reich's last-ditch defense in the final days of World War II."--Jacket. |
