Hitler Youth: Adolf Hitler
built 279 days ago
In April 1929, the Hitler Youth was declared the only official youth group of the Nazi Party. In September, Hitler Youth made a strong showing at the annual Nuremberg rally as about 2,000 members marched past Hitler amid great applause. Among them was a group of Berlin boys who had marched 400 miles all the way to Nuremberg. This became an instant tradition and would be repeated each year, known as the Adolf Hitler March.
On September 10, 1938 in Nuremberg, the Day of the Hitler Youth took place at the annual Nazi party rally (Heyes 42). Here members of the youth programs preformed drills that had been practiced for months. First they listened to a speech by their national youth leader Baldur von Schirach, but that was not the reason that they were at the rally. They were excited to see their leader Adolf Hitler. On this day as all of the youngsters shouted "Seig Heil!" or Hail victory.

At the Nuremberg Party rally in 1927, about 300 Hitler Youth members marched alongside 30,000 brownshirted storm troopers. This was the first appearance of the Hitler Youth at the annual Nuremberg rallies. Adolf Hitler took notice of his young followers and paid special tribute to them. Due to a lack of money, many of the boys had walked all the way to Nuremberg.
Most of the programs that the Hitler Youth offered were mandatory... majority of the time the children did not object to participate because they wanted to serve the Fuerher. There were also the youth that did not want to join and were forced to follow according to the laws of Nazi Germany. Whether cooperation or competition between the Hitler Youth, Adolf Hitler had millions of young people that idolized him and his intention was to program them to do just what he wanted.
