Answer 2

Hitler was interested in the youth of Germany. His policy towards youth in the country was to involve all the young men above the age of 18 years in the Nazi party. Therefore, as a part of his policy, he forced the youth of the country to assist in the armed bands and to enter in the Nazi organizations. He well understood the ideas that a strong Nazi society could be set only by educating youth the Nazi ideology. All the schools were purified meaning all the Jews teachers were dismissed. Hitler founded the Youth League of the Nazis in the year 1922. In fact, he dissolved all other organizations to consolidate the youth campaign under Nazi government.
