An insight into what happened to those that refused to join the Hitler Youth. While they had a good time at the expense of the Nazis for a while – they liked to hang around and listen to American jazz – some paid the ultimate price for their refusal to conform. The Hitler Youth camps allowed poor children a holiday and gave city children the chance to experience the countryside. However, they ultimately prepared young men for war by developing the sort of aggression that they would need, combined with basic military training. Girls were taught cooking, church and children, and were discouraged from having any other ambitions.
