Hitler Youth
By: Aleena S. and Connor C.
Question 1
The reason Hitler did this was to:
Get people more interested in keeping him in power. People would see the program as a program for children and say..... " Oh he's involving the children in activities and they love it!" Then they'll want him to stay in power!
Hitler Youth Saluting
Hitler Youth Uniform
The uniform is very similar to a Boy Scout uniform.
Hitler Youth Girls
See .... Hitler youth was for both boys and girls.
Question 2
He chose to send the boys ,13 or older to fight . He chose to do this because his own Nazis were being killed and the ones who weren't in war, were guarding the concentration camps.
Question 3
They chose to do this because if the Americans caught them making the children do these horrible things to the Jews. The Americans would hunt them down until they were no longer any more.
Question 4
5,000 boys and a few girls fought against the soviets and most ended up dead or injured. Most of the kids didn't want to fight, they were forced to go against their will.
