  3. Hitler Youth: Why “We must develop organizations in which an individual’s entire life can take place. Then every activity and every individual will be regulated by the collectivity represented by the party. There is no longer any arbitrary will, there are no longer any free realms in which the individual belongs to himself … The time of personal happiness is over.” -Hitler

  4. Hitler Youth • As important as school • High expectations: • “The weak must be chiselled away. I want young men and women who can suffer pain. A young German must be as swift as a greyhound, as tough as leather, and as hard as Krupp's steel.” • Method of Control • A Preparation • Boys: Military • Girls: Motherhood

  14. Edelwiess Pirates “I want a brutal, domineering, fearless cruel youth. Youth must be all that. It must bear pain. There must be nothing weak and gentle about it. The free, splendid beast of prey must once again flash from its eyes. That is how I will eradicate thousands of years of human domestication. That is how I will create the New Order.” - Hitler Hitler's power may lay us low,And keep us locked in chains,But we will smash the chains one day,We'll be free again.We've got the fists and we can fight,We've got the knives and we'll get them out.We want freedom, don't we boys? -Edelweiss Pirates Song
