The Helmuth Huebener Group Hitler was an expert of deception. Most German citizens were left in the dark about the war for years due to the use of propaganda, although a few very brave Resistance fighters fought back to this propaganda. Through leaflets to lethal force, Resistance fighters continually tried to spread the truth about Hitler. Helmuth Hubener and his friends were very brave Resistance fighters who tried to expose Hitler’s propaganda. Hitler was able to deceive German citizens throughout the Holocaust; and even during the last few months of the Holocaust, many Germans still believed that Germany was winning the war.
Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933 and created Hitler Youth to further his Nazi ideals. In “Hitler Youth - Growing up in Hitler’s Shadow,” author Susan Campbell Bartoletti writes about the ways Hitler used education to spread Nazi ideas. Hitler made sure all students were learning the same things, guaranteed the teachers knew everything about the Nazi ideas and weren't teaching anything else, and enforced that students should not follow any other beliefs and that the Nazi beliefs were correct. He used these methods to transform young German children into perfect Nazis in the future.
During World War II, many propaganda techniques were used to provoke peoples feelings and actions in regards to the war. To demonize something is to portray it in a negative light and make it appear evil. That's exactly what America did to the Axis Powers in World War II. The leaders of the Axis Powers (Germany, Japan, and Italy) were demonized wherever possible.
The Nazis tried to indoctrinate them with Nazi ideology, brainwashing the German youth. They wanted to take away all social structures and traditions. All of the youth throughout Germany sang the same Nazi songs, wore the same uniforms, and participated in similar activities. The members had to attend meetings and events regularly. There was interference with church and school, because they had so many meetings and events.
The Nazis where very powerful under the command of Hitler. They saw him as a powerful ruler and fantastic leader. Almost all of his soldiers thought that he could promise them a better future. They had food and water and simple rights.
“Hitler began his dominance with young people, recognizing them as ‘A powerful political force’ There was little resistance because ‘the overnight camping trips, campfires, and parades sounded like fun’“ (Bartelletti 79). The Hitler Youth also emphasized loyalty to the Third Reich over all (including family) (Bartelletti
Overall, the government’s use of propaganda was more or less unsuccessful. Even with their increase of propaganda throughout the war, volunteers didn’t significantly increase. Both referendums on conscription, in 1916 and 1917, were a failure, though by a slim amount, despite the plentiful amount of propaganda used. Although more women took on the jobs of those fighting, it wasn’t to the extent like France or America. Thus, the effort of the government use of propaganda, though worked to some degree, nevertheless was ultimately
German army recruits entered their basic training considerably advanced, in terms of both physical conditioning and military skills, compared to those of other nations. Nazi organizations, such as the Hitler Jugend, taught boys as young as 14 the fundamentals of obedience to orders, marching, marksmanship; map-reading; etc(Henderson 2).

Some children were damaged by the group’s strict leadership and felt as if they had lost all their personality. Although, there were children that were very damaged by the group, others enjoyed that they were all to act as a single group and not have a sense of individuality. The Hitler Youth organization did not promote any kind of distinctiveness amongst the children, they were grooming them into soldiers, sadly most parents couldn’t have anticipated the effect it would have. However, at first the group wasn’t as bad, it offered children a place to come together and play games to improve their strength. But, as time grew on, the group became less fun and more catered towards hard backbreaking work for the kids.
Nazism significantly impacted the propaganda, terror and repression in a time of the abolition of the Weimar and rising of Hitler. The German civilization was greatly affected German people from 1933-1939 making the ideology of Nazism change most facets of life. The underlying nature of the anti semitic and nationalist theme amongst the media was a supplement to a large portions of society 's initial views. By the 30th of January 1933, Hitler had been appointed Chancellor. The intentions to commit to the ‘Final Solution’ was obvious when he used propaganda, terror and repression in order to influence and persuade his actions, therefore justifying it to himself and others he took authority over.
When the war ended many youths had to go to the hospital. Hitler trained them to be respectful and mean. When they were being trained it was because Hitler doesn’t want any of his youths to talk back to him. The reason he trained them to be mean so they can fight in the war. Before the war Hitler trained them to fight.

It’s easy to see why Hitler had such massive support in the time leading up to his time in power, he heavily used propaganda to promote his views and those of the Nazi party. Nazi propaganda was extremely anti-Semitic in the fact that it targeted and blamed the Jewish population for many past German failures. In 1941 Jews were forced to were the Yellow Gold star and a flyer “When you see this symbol…” was published concerning how Germans should look at the Jews. It states that, “Remember what the Jews have done to our people. Now for the first time, World Jewry openly says what it wants: ‘Germany must die!’”.
Hitler’s Youth then fought in wars. “In 1945 American soldiers reported fighting against entire units of Germans comprised of soldiers twelve years old and younger” (“A Teacher’s Guide” 4). Once the children were part of Hitler’s Youth, they frequently fought until their
