This article focuses on the future of German Youth after the collapse of the Nazi regime. Since the war broke out, the whole program of the Hitler Youth has been devoted to war fitness and attendance at war-fitness camps is compulsory for the older members. Since early in 1943 the camps have taken all boys in the last two years of high school provided they are fifteen and a half years old. The regular camp period is three weeks, but boys of seventeen, if they wish, may go for four weeks and join the army immediately afterward. The pre-Hitler youth organizations afforded opportunities for open discussion, but today all such questions are officially dismissed as individualistic.
