Education played a very important part in Nazi Germany in trying to cultivate a loyal following for Hitler and the Nazis. The Nazis were aware that education would create loyal Nazis by the time they reached adulthood. The Hitler Youth had been created for post-school activities and schools were to play a critical part in developing a loyal following for Hitler - indoctrination and the use of Propaganda were to be a common practice in Nazi schools and the education system.

Enforcing a Nazi curriculum on schools depended on the teachers delivering it. All teachers had to be vetted by local Nazi officials. Any teacher considered disloyal was sacked. Many attended classes during school holidays in which the Nazi curriculum was spelled out and 97% of all teachers joined the Nazi Teachers' Association. All teachers had to be careful about what they said as children were encouraged to inform the authorities if a teacher said something that did not fit in with the Nazi's curriculum for schools.

Subjects underwent a major change in schools. Some of the most affected were History and Biology.

History was based on the glory of Germany - a nationalistic approach was compulsory. The German defeat in 1918 was explained as the work of Jewish and Marxist spies who had weakened the system from within; the Treaty of Versailles was the work of nations jealous of Germany's might and power; the hyperinflation of 1923 was the work of Jewish saboteurs; the national resurgence which started under the leadership of Hitler etc.

Biology became a study of the different races to 'prove' that the Nazi belief in racial superiority was a sound belief. "Racial Instruction" started as the age of 6. Hitler himself had decreed that "no boy or girl should leave school without complete knowledge of the necessity and meaning of blood purity." Pupils were taught about the problems of heredity. Older pupils were taught about the importance of selecting the right "mate" when marrying and producing children. The problems of inter-racial marriage were taught with an explanation that such marriages could only lead to a decline in racial purity.

Geography taught pupils about the land Germany had taken away from her in 1919 and the need for Germany to have living space - lebensraum.

Science had a military-slant to it. The curriculum required that the principles of shooting be studied; military aviation science; bridge building and the impact of poisonous gasses.

Girls had a different curriculum in some regards as they studied domestic science and eugenics - both of which were to prepare young girls to be the prefect mother and wife. In Eugenics, girls were taught about the characteristics to look out for in a perfect husband and father.

Indoctrination became rampant in all subjects.

Because of the great depression that occured in Germany, many of the people in Germany had lost their jobs. Hitler promised the people of Germany that he would give them all jobs and the jobs he gave them was to be part of the army. By doing this, he got alot of people in the army which allowed Germany the option of being aggressive to its neighbours.

I used to be stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army in Germany. Nazi storm troopers trained in Hohenfels. I've been there, it's a mean place. Supposedly that's where the German army perfected the "blitzkreig."

Many Germans were good Nazis because they agreed with Hitler's anti-Semitic worldview and therefore did not mind going along with Hitler. Hitler also made extensive use of propoganda to instill his ideas into the minds of Germans. Another way was Hitler's use of the Gestapo which made people too scared to be anything but good Nazis.

Hell yes

During the course of 1933-1938 Hitler was training and building his army up and trainining the soldiers to show no emotion when killing, this made the german army and the Waffen SS, The strongest cold harded military at that time period. Hitlers army was purely trained to the maxium skill because The Nazi Germany conquerd most of all Europe apart from the neutral countries and 40% of army. The total size of the german army and the Waffen SS was other 20 million strong and even still they were out numberd by 7:1 by the allies including military equipment However, the Waffen SS were purely trained mainly as Infantry and Tankers, A Average SS Tanker killes an average of 104 tanks individually and 45 anti tank riffles. An average infantry SS and german soldier killes an average 1.536 people each.

The only reason why Germany lost WW2 is because they couldnt get enough support from Germany and Poland to east Russia where the germans were surrounded by the Soviet Red army in stalingrad

Was Hitler respected?

No, he was not. Germany was in an economical crisis right after World War I. When Hitler rose to power, most people were already very anti-Semitic(Against Jews).

Germans at the time did not care anything else but to get back into a good economy. -Hitler was not hated by MOST Germans.
