“Hitlerjugend” (Hitlerjugend - “Hitler Youth”), a paramilitary-type Nazi youth organization, the main personnel reserve of the NSDAP. It was created by decree of December 1, 1936. It was headed by Reich Youth Fuhrer Baldur von Schirach, who reported directly to Hitler. Belonging to the Hitler Youth was mandatory for young people. Even on September 6, 1935, speaking at the Nuremberg Party Congress, where 54 thousand German youths marched in front of the stands, Hitler formulated the educational criteria of Nazism: “We do not need intellectual exercises. Knowledge is destructive for my youth... In our opinion, the young German of the future should be slender and agile, as agile as a greyhound, flexible as leather and hard as Krupp steel.” From August 8, 1940, the Hitler Youth was led by Arthur Axman. The organization was dissolved after the defeat of the Third Reich.
