Sample text

Baldur von Schirach’s position was further strengthened by that time, but it was entirely based on Hitler’s goodwill. By 1936, Baldur von Schirach was a very popular and honored personality of the Third Reich. Ranking near the top of the hierarchy, he was presented by propaganda as a sort of demigod who embodied all that was fine and noble in German youth. His pictures were second only to Hitler’s throughout Germany. However von Schirach was not popular within the Nazi top circle. Because of his early commitment to Nazi activism, he had not been able to graduate from school, and he felt rejected by the academics.

Following the seizure of power, parties and working-class youth organizations were forbidden and suppressed, including the powerful, highly popular and rival Communist Youth Association (KJVD), the Social-Democrat Socialist Youth (SAJ) and the German Socialist Youth Association (SAP). The HJ soon endeavored to coordinate youth organizations of the bourgeois and right-wing parties as well, which were seen as ambiguous competitors. Indeed—as already said—many of these Bünde also submitted to a vehement nationalism and antiSemitism, worshipped war and violence, condemned democracy, and called for a new Greater German Reich under the leadership of a powerful and authoritarian Führer.

Those who deliberately defied this stereotype were harassed, might be disciplined by the NSF and publicly denounced as “trouser-wenches with Indian warpaint,” and in the worst cases were fired from their jobs. In art, Hitler condemned modern painting but approved of female nudes, so long as they exhibited what he considered as ideal Nordic racial traits and a virginal wholesomeness. The result was technically accomplished painting and sculptures, but since there were executed according to the stereotypes of Aryan manliness and female virtue, Nazi art was ultimately dull, cold and predictable.
