Most people would rather die than think, and most people do. -Bertrand Russell
Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Please don't take war machine's "journalism" dick. Please don't spread your gullibility on the internet as news.
They were calling the EU reformers and succeeders "Nazis" too.
corporal punishment? Unconditional obedience or get beaten to an inch of your life..
High moral values (as dictated by the regime) are to be followed flawlessly at any given time.....
If you were living in these times, trust me, you wouldn't type half of what you do today here... You wouldn't be on an online forum, enjoying yourself...
You'd serve your fatherland and your leader...

How was that any different to everyday life at home during those days in any country?
Corporal punishment was normal and unconditional obedience was expected by all children everywhere until 1980's or so.
And how is this different to life outside of hitler-jugend?High moral values (as dictated by the regime) are to be followed flawlessly at any given time.....
Nothing you said has anything to do with hitler-jugend. Totalitarian regime during war is the reason, not hitler-jugend.If you were living in these times, trust me, you wouldn't type half of what you do today here... You wouldn't be on an online forum, enjoying yourself...

Well. if you are 30, then you should know how unconditional obedience is something that's out of forcible style since the 1950s/60s....
But how can you dismiss something as not the regime, when it was created by the regime, much like the Gestapo, SS etc., The group leaders of the HJ were just as regime dedicated and radical as the rest of that elites. The HJ was created to prepare/breed the youth into a blindly following mass of people to be later used for the regime's purposes. Mass brainwashing at it's purest form.
There was nothing good with the HJ... Nothing at all.

You got to be kidding? Maybe it was out of style since 1950s/60s somewhere, but that doesn't mean it was out of style everywhere. It's still the standard in majority of world.
Just because it was created and part of the regime doesn't automatically make it BAD. Looks like you have been brainwashed to see everything that even hints at "nazi" to be totally wrong. Nazis did a whole lot of awful things, but that doesn't mean everything they did was awful, horrible and wrong.But how can you dismiss something as not the regime, when it was created by the regime, much like the Gestapo, SS etc., The group leaders of the HJ were just as regime dedicated and radical as the rest of that elites.

We don't need additional threads on the conflict, particularly when they start out like this. Locked.
