The rarely told story of girls in Hitler Youth July 6, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The English title is slightly misleading in that the entire focus of this book is the League of German Girls. It makes clear the great attraction of the organization, one which leaves the participants with mixed feelings even today. Not only was the League a place for idealistic youth, it gave girls an opportunity unknown elsewhere in Nazi Germany to develop leadership skills. It offered poorer and rural girls opportunities for entertainment and travel they would have been unlikely to experience otherwise. It also served the Nazi goal of diminishing the influence of parents over their children. Even so, this book shows that participation and amount of political indoctrination could vary by locale. It is fortunate that this work was translated into English so that more readers can understand this important facet of Nazi history.
