and physical education groups,
nineteen special interest groups,
thirty-seven religious organizations
of which twenty were protestant
and seventeen Catholic, along with
nine other youth trends. Each
group had its special interests and
loyalties.
Birth of Hitler Tionth Movement
It was at this time that the pres
ent united youth movement had its
birth. In 1922 Adolf Hitler, leader
of the National Socialist group,
organized the 'National Socialis
tischen Jugenbund.” It was organ
ized without consideration to class,
standing or religious belief. In the
general struggle for Recognition
and power the National Socialist
group had its ups and downs. Its
youth group suffered .accordingly
and went through many severe tests
and trials. More than twenty Hitler
youths lost their lives in political
conflicts of these early days.
When the National Socialist Party
came into power in 1933 one of its
first important steps was to organ
ize the youth of the land into one
concerted and unified group. Nat
urally such a gigantic program de
manded some time and effective 1
drives at solidarity in organization.
Gradually, but forcefully, the past
few years have witnessed a unifi
cation of German Youth. In 1934,
with the complete elimination of
Communistic groups, Jewish or
ganizations, and monarchists youth
associations, there remained only
the problem regarding the Church
groups, especially those within the

Catholic faith. A former Concordat
with the Holy See at Rome indicat
ed that the Catholic Church would
retain its own separate youth orga
nization. This was abandoned last
year, and the church can only guide
and teach its youth along religious
lines.
Hence there is in Germany today
but one Youth Organization—the
Hitler Youth. Today the German
boy or girl has but one choice as to
membership in a youth group.
While this membership is not com
pulsory, social pressure and com
munity of interest practically de
mand participation—there can be
no other alternative.
Objectives of Movement
On the surface this appears very
difficult for those of us brought
up in a democratic atmosphere
to properly understand. We are ac
customed to variety of choice. Our
boys and girls can belong to one,
two or many groups according to
their interests, time, ability to pay
and desire. Our youth know no
youth movement as such. In fact,
if one wishes one does not have to
belong to any group at any time.
The situation in Germany is so dif
ferent. There can be no basis of a
comparison and contrast study.
We are in one situation and Ger-
I many is in another. We have one
I form of government and Germany
has another. We are primarily in
terested in the individual as an in
dividual while in Germany the first
thought is for the people as a
whole and the rights of the indivi
dual become of secondary con
sideration. Location and history
I have had much to do in determini
ng these attitudes and forces.
Therefore we will attempt to set
forth some of the principal object
ives governing the philosophy of
the Hitler Youth from the German
point of view.
It is absolutely necessary for us
to try to understand and appreciate
the geographic, historical, social
and economic forces at work in
Europe generally to fully know
present Germany and the thinking
therein.
The geographic closeness of
neighbors with different racial,
social, political, and Religious in
terests, the movements of popula
tion with problems of density, de
clining birth rates, nationality and
the like, the economic forces as to
raw materials, monetary systems,
tariff walls and related complexi
ties, the political forces of old
treaties, colonial desires, historical

conflicts, —all create difficult bar
riers to proper reconciliation and
unity of action for common good.
While youth everywhere is import
ant for future growth and action its
influence is intensified in Germany
due to the many and varied vicis
situdes of time and the exigencies
of the situation. Let us note some
of these forces and objectives.
Solidarity and Totality
Standing out most prominent is
the factor of solidarity and totality
—the totalitarian state is- accepted
as the basis of the totalitarian you
the movement. A unified youth with
a specific purpose and solidarity of
| interests is the one permeating force
jthat governs the entire movement.
One program for all and all for one
'program is the chief aim—and this
goal is well achieved at this time.
It is in fact overpowering to us
and we see it all with amazement.
How, in so short a time the politi
cal leadership of the nation could
so completely win the confidence
and loyalty of all youth is practical
ly without parallel anywhere. With
in a period of less than five years
we see the unity of action growing
out of hundreds of different move
ments. This no doubt indicates the
seriousness of the hour in Germany,
and the pressure of community life..
Another objective is found in the]
emphasis on the physical. While
the Pestalozzi School of thought
emphasized He?*d, Heart and Hand,
the present program would con
form to the order of Hand, Heart
and Hjead—physical education,'
character building and intellectual
training come in order. The state is
assuming that a sound body is
pre requisite to the operation and
final turning out of the citizen in
the new state. A physically sound
nation is the foundation principal
of the National Socialist idea. Un
usual emphasis along all phases
of Gerfan life are being given to
physical education.
Comradeship Another Objective
A third essential objective is ex
pressed in the words “comradeship”.
Much stress is given to thought
of a community of interest.
Throughout the entire youth pro
gram, from the home evenings of
the smaller unit to the large mass
celebrations, one will find together
iness emphasized. Through study
and sport the youth learn a unity
of racial background, a knowledge
of oneness in purpose, the value of
sportsmanship and the basis of ones
social responsibility to his fellow
man. They meet together, hike to
gether, and sing together. In unity
they collect for the Winter Aid Or
ganization and in oneness they suc
cor those in need.
A fourth objective may be stat
ed in the unity and power of one
group. Nine millions of youth ban
ned together in a single organiza
tion. The very thought of numbers,
physical strength, comradeship and
absolute unity of action has had the
psychological effect of somewhat
erasing the inferiority complex
which the nation had developed at
the defeat following the World War
and the consequent effects of the
treaty of Versailles. The political
leadership of Germany believes that
it is absolutely necessary to build
within the people a strong sense of
self-respect. They desire to aban
don the philosophy of defeat. This
(trong urge permeates the think
ing regarding colonies, world rela
tions and internal life. These ideas
are being strongly implanted in the
youth of the nation through their
many study groups.

a little around the edges, but
chomped and licked through to vic
tory.
Defense Is Stressed
There is also the objective of de
fense. Against defeats of the past,
forces of the present, and future
outlook, emphasis is placed on pre
| paredness. The whole program is
essentially military in nature. Uni
forms, activities, meetings and pro
gram all savor of the military. The
emphasis is on defense, not aggres
sion, for peace not war, for secur
ity not chaos. There is no blind
idealism as to the meekness of man.
Economic, social and military pre
paredness appear as essential real
ities of the timq.sJt becomes a pro
blem of self-existence and the pat
tern is determined by the leader
ship of the present.
Youth is vitally concerned with
the trends of the near future. The
National Socialist Party is saying
to its youth that it believes it knows
what is best at this time. National
! responsibility is the first and fore
r.ost thought. Hence there has been
a concentration and simplifidation
of youth activities under the pre
sent regime. This is the German
way.
There has been no attempt in
this article to evaluate the program
at this time. The movement is
young and the future will have to
