Hitler managed to captivate and motivate an entire country by using propaganda, the youth, and the power, to make the entire population of Germans hate Jews. Hitler succeeded indoctrination of the German peoples, in many ways. The main form of indoctrination was the Hitler Youth. Hitler believed that children could be totally indoctrinated in their education. Using propaganda was a crucial part for acquiring and maintaining power.
Adolf Hitler, was a german politician that ended up as the Nazi Party leader. Her created Hitler youth to use education as a way to turn students into Nazis. In “Hitler Youth: Growing up in Hitler’s Shadow.” author Susan Campbell Bartolletti discusses the way Adolf Hitler used education to further Nazi ideals. Hitler changed standard textbooks into Nazi-approved ones, didn’t allow students to have their own personal ideas, and to only have teachers that taught Nazi-approved ideas. The first way Hitler used education to make Nazis was changing textbooks to Nazi textbooks.
In this speech by Hitler, he talked about his hatred for the Treaty of Versailles and how he planned to abolish it. By the time he presented this speech, World War 2 was already well underway. Hitler spoke about how he hated the Treaty of Versailles and how much he would want to get rid of it even before he gained power.

[1] Hitler used propaganda, because it was one of many ways to get some to believe the same thing he did. [2] Above a certain age, minds are really hard to manipulate, so Hitler used children. [6] Hitler drastically changed kid’s lives. [3] Amazingly, Hitler even changed up what kids were taught.
“Hitler used propaganda techniques that were on a new and different level.” He understood that it was the secret weapon to winning over Germany and the world. Cheap radios were turned up all the way and put on corners of every street playing Hitler’s speeches. If you listened to any foreign radio stations you could be fined and punished. Posters were hung everywhere demonizing Jews and putting all the glory on Hitler and the Nazi Party, to persuade Germans. Nazi’s censored books and movies that did not demonstrate Nazi beliefs.
Article 232 and 233 states that Germany had to pay for all the damage they caused in WWI and the amount was finalized by the other countries. Germany did not want to pay any of the reparations because they did not agree that they should take full responsibility for the war. Angry Germans helped Hitler into power more than before because he stopped all the payments. These articles made the German people angry and yet again look to Hitler for leadership, by looking to him, he made the decision to stop all the payment being made.

The aim of the documentary is to display Adolf Hitler as the savior of Germany and show the way Germans loved him and to encourage more people to support him. Riefenstahl successfully achieved her aim by focusing on key words from speeches given by Hitler and his party, and through her use of music and camera angles.

The Nazi party saw this opportunity and met their community with an alternative, strong leadership. Hitler and the Nazi party used eloquent speeches that used the people’s fear and God given entitlement to persuade people that the Nazi way of life was the only way of life. The Nazi way of life encouraged strong German principles and blamed all their obstacles on the Jewish race. According to the Nazi party, it was the Jewish people who were impure and responsible for all the German people’s hardships.
By rising to power, hitler knew exactly what he was doing. By being manipulated by adults, Ender had no idea what he was doing. In a sense, the adults were more like Hitler, Stalin, and all other mass murderers than Ender was. Even in the trial of negligent homicide, Colonel Graff justified his abuse of Ender with the Nuremberg Defense and the exact same statement the Nazis used to justify their actions. Graff said he did “what [he] believed was necessary for the preservation of the human race” (Card 235).
