Hitler's Children: Education 1 of 5

This great five-volume series, by Guido Knopp, examines the naivete of German youths in the 1930's and 1940's. This is the only documentary I have seen that focuses on the way the Nazis used children to conduct their war. In this third volume, we get a front-row seat to the indoctrination and reprogramming of the minds of German children, as they are transformed from kids to Nazis in the new school system of the Third Reich.

USA schools are the same way, see lectures by John Taylor Gatto to find out what USA schools are really up to :)

@AppleSouffle Well in name North Korea is communist. That would imply religion is outlawed. Not sure who much you know about communism, but in short it teaches that religion is bad for the progress of society. It enslaves the mind, they believe organised religion was made to control the masses. But I have a funny feeling the North Korean leaders banned it for different reasons then the communist ideology.

I'm atheist myself, but I believe people should have a free choice in religion.

Mccarrpo, I've heard that theory in several documentaries. Adolf did his best to erase his family history. But I think it's more likely that he was trying to erase a family history of mental illness.

His dad had an explosive temper and he once beat Adolf severely and left the boy for dead. During the last part of the war, Adolf also raged about his generals, he became delusional and his hands shook, possibly from Parkinson's Disease.

So the mental illness idea looks convincing.

This might seem silly, but someone please check this.

At 2:31, when the speaker says, "The breeding ground for the next generation of Nazi rulers," there's a teen boy smiling and clasping his hands.

He looks like Charlie Sheen to me. Does anyone else think he looks like Charlie Sheen?

Evildeathmonkey1, ooooh, that is an excellent point. I only know a little about North Korea. I went to a talk at a church here in Minneapolis about an aid agency trying to help in North Korea.

The women who gave the talk said it's really tough. The North Korean leaders are super suspicious and they don't allow any hint of religion from the aid agencies.

good they added that creepy music, so I knew when I was supposed to feel bad lol.

BTW: Guido Knopp (author of that "documentary" is not taken seriously and a fraudster.

@evildeathmonkey1 yeah, I'm don't know much about North Korea but I have a feeling there's a lot of similarities there.

@tmwalkerm There is something extremely fascinating about thing whole thing isn't there? I can't help but think about North Korea when I watch this documentary. I often wonder whether they really believe Kim Jong Ill is a god. Seeing this, hearing what these men and women say, I believe they might actually do.
