1st Assignment-Hitler Youth

So, I thought I know so much about the Holocaust. Little did I known that youth had a great deal of Hitler's outcome. In 1922, they had a organization called National Socialist German Workers' Party, but then in 1926 got renamed to Hitler Jugend aka Hitler Youth only for boys. Oh don't worry the girls also got there own organization called League of German Girls, but it didn't really get established till the 1930. While I was reading these information about the youth organizations, I was wondering why on earth these kids thought Hitler was doing the right thing. How come they didn't see the big picture that Hitler was killer dictator? Through out the years till World War 2 the organizations grew rapidly to million. Young men was require by law to join the Hitler Youth in 1939. They wanted the young men to get train like the military. The boys would start out to be 10 years old to 13 years old, then they would join to the bigger organization that would be like the military. The older Hitler Youth would capture the young boys interest by out door activities. Hitler, himself even saying that the young were important to him. Well, World War 2 has arrive 1944 the older organization of Hitler Youth were soldier fought with the Americans. 1945 the Nazi Solider has surrender. The adult were so blinded by Hitler which the made the kids thinking that they were doing something good and right. I feel like some people later on did understand that Hitler was doing wrong, but was too scared to stand up to him. I felt like they should of done a under ground organization to kill Hitler and  his power.
