  1. Nazis and Young People Lesson starter: Why did the Nazis think that young people were so important? Today we will learn how the Nazis controlled young people

  2. Young people were very important to the Nazis • If they could get them on their side at a young age, they would hopefully support the Nazis as adults • The Hitler youth was set up in 1925 • Once Hitler became leader, it became compulsory

  3. Hitler Youth (Boys) • Age 14 – 18 (also organisations for younger boys) • Boys wore uniform • They did lots of outdoor activities and sports • Some activities very army-like • Children taught anti-Jewish messages • Encouraged to inform on parents and friends

  4. League of German Maidens (girls) • Ages 14 – 21 • Girls kept totally separate from boys • Did similar activities – sports etc • Also trained to do first aid • Taught how to be a good wife – cook, clean, sew etc

  5. Education • School curriculum and textbooks rewritten by the Nazis • History taught how great Germany was and how they had been betrayed by the French • Biology taught the difference between races • Maths became questions about bombs and ammunition • Jews were humiliated by teachers until they were eventually put into Jewish schools

  6. "A bomber aircraft on take-off carries 12 dozen bombs, each weighing 10 kilos. The aircraft takes off for Warsaw the international centre for Jews. It bombs the town. On take-off with all bombs on board and a fuel tank containing 100 kilos of fuel, the aircraft weighed about 8 tons. When it returns from the crusade, there are still 230 kilos left. What is the weight of the aircraft when empty ?" Q1 – Why do you think this maths problem was included in textbooks?

  7. Homework • Explain how the Nazis controlled young people in Germany. 4 marks

  8. "To keep a mentally ill person costs approximately 4 marks a day. There are 300,000 mentally ill people in care. How much do these people cost to keep in total? How many marriage loans of 1000 marks could be granted with this money?" Q2 – Why do you think this maths problem was included in textbooks?

  9. Today’s Task • You are going to create a poster for the Hitler Youth • Hitler Jugend OR Bund Deutscher Madel • REMEMBER – children were not told what they would really do – it was made to look fun and interesting! ‘Youth serves the Führer’

  10. Hitler Youth Clips • http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/

  11. ES2 – COMPARISON QUESTIONS • You will be asked what two sources agree/ disagree on… • The sources agree/disagree on (insert the issue of agreement/ disagreement) • Back it up with evidence i.e. • Source A says ‘…’ and source B agrees/disagrees by saying ‘…’ • Do this twice for a four mark question

  12. Comparison Questions • Credit 2008 Q4 • Credit 2009 Q3 • Credit 2010 Q4 • Credit 2011 Q4 • General 2008 Q4 • General 2009 Q4 • General 2010 Q4 • General 2011 Q4

  13. Sources C and D agree about the changes in education made by the Nazis. • Source C says “The number of P.E. periods was increased” and Source D says “timetable allocation of P.E. was increased”. Clearly sources C and D agree that the Nazis changed the number of P.E. periods in a week. • Source C says that pupils had to sing “loud Nazi songs” and Source D says “hymns were replaced with Nazi songs”. Clearly sources C and D agree that the Nazis introduced songs to German education.
