onwards, the Nazi Party targeted German youth as the sole audience for its propaganda messages. Millions of Germany’s young were won over by Nazism in the classroom and through the use of extra-curricular activities such as the Hitler youth movement. When it originally began in 1922, the Hitler Youth movement was Munich-based only and its purpose served to prepare men that were too young to join the Nazi party itself.

As Hitler rose to power, he created many organizations within the Nazi Party. The groups were for many different people, including teachers, doctors, civil servants, women, lawyers, and students. The organization for students was called Hitler Youth, which became a very important part of Nazi Germany from its creation in 1922 to its disbandment in 1945. In the Hitler Youth, the German children were taught that they were better than everyone else. They were also taught that since they had Aryan blood
In 1922, the Nazi Party whilst still in its beginning stages Baldur von Schirach conceived the Hitler Youth unlike most at the time of other politicians Hitler did not neglect young people the next generation or miscalculate the future political value.

Throughout World War II, hundreds of German organizations existed that opposed the Third Reich, one of which was The White Rose. A student led group, The White Rose published six leaflets that served to convince other Germans to defy the regime of Adolf Hitler.
