The Nazi Youth MovementHitler thought that young people were integral to changing Germany, so he created a Nazi youth-group named the Jugendbund in the 1920’s. Hitler’s initial purpose of the youth group was to show that Germany could be strong state and potentially a big power. This youth group also functioned as a scouting service for the youth. The German Youth Movement also influenced the White Rose's way of fighting. The German Youth Movement fought with passion and morality, which caused them to do whatever they needed to in order to succeed, and because the Scholls were exposed this environment, they weren’t afraid to do what they needed in order to make a difference. The Jugendbund's beliefs of antisemitism and nationalism made Sophie and Hans really dislike the Nazi Regime, and this influenced them to start the White Rose Resistance Group. "By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."
