propaganda

This image comes from the coloring book of the children in Nazi Germany. Coloring pages like this were produced all throughout Germany in the 1930’s. This was their way of appealing to the young children about Hitler Youth. They enforced their beliefs into the younger generation by reforming education, and creating a system that did not allow for questions to be asked or officials to be challenged. They made it clear that their beliefs were the only ones, and that anything else was wrong. By doing this they brainwashed the younger generation, and forced them into obedience. They were successful at instilling the Nazi worldview into the oncoming generation. The picture shows five different boys all dressed up in military uniforms, all with very serious looks on their faces. One boy is holding up the Nazi flag, which stands out in comparison to the rest of the picture because it is in a bright red color.
