Historian A: Richard Evans – Social Control Perspective "Richard Evans argues that the Nazi regime carefully manipulated youth to ensure total social control. He emphasizes the role of organizations like the Hitler Youth in indoctrinating young Germans with Nazi ideology, fostering loyalty to Hitler and suppressing dissent. Evans suggests that the regime’s focus on youth was a strategic move to shape future generations, making Nazi ideals a central part of their identity from a young age. This, he claims, was crucial for maintaining Nazi power and creating a unified, obedient society."

Historian B: Peter Longerich – Cultural and Ideological Perspective "Peter Longerich contends that Nazi policies towards youth were primarily driven by cultural and ideological motives. He highlights how youth organizations promoted Nazi ideals such as racial purity and militarism, aiming to embed these values deeply within young people. Longerich emphasizes that the regime’s focus on youth was part of a broader effort to reshape German culture and identity, not just social control. He suggests that youth policies were about creating a new German identity rooted in Nazi beliefs, rather than solely maintaining political power."
