could convert them in what he wanted. In his case, he wanted the young people to carry on the Nazi idealism, to think they were superior.

The boys believed that Hitler was saving Germany. They also believed in anti-semitism which was disliking the Jews.

In case of being Jewish or having wncestors which were jews, you could be called in front of the class, as a example of racial inferiority, this only happen in Nazi early years.

Racial education become an important part of the curriculum in Nazi Germany school. This subject start when you enter to school at age of 6.

Hitler declared that “No boy or girl should leave school without complete knowledge of the necessity and meaning of blood purity." 

In 1933 and 1934 there were large numbers of Jewish children in the schools. Some teachers even obligate the Jewish children to serve as class models of "inferior“ racial types

Geography

Geography was a school subject changed by the Nazis. The Nazis teach the students that German territory was any territory occupied by German speaking people or cultures that have been influenced by the German people. Students were with the idea that Germany had a lot of land that was taken from them.

Physical Education

In Nazi Germany, Hitler changed the time for physical training to 2 hours per day, instead of the normally 2 hours per week before the Nazi take over Germany. Physical training was a major focus of the Hitler Youth movement. Hitler want to the kids do more physical education so in the future they can become better soldiers.
