"I want young people to grow up so that they will frighten the world; a violent, dominant, cruel youth… I do not want intellectual education. Young people must learn to conquer the fear of death - that is the standard of a heroic youth. We shall die, but they are the future, the flag we have raised from nothing, we will hand on to them." Adolf Hitler This is the story of an organization with a membership of only thirteen thousand in 1930 and over ten million in 1945. The Hitler Youth was the future of the German Third Reich, the dream died with Hitler.
