This article presents the author's views on the influence of dictator Adolf Hitler on young generation. Most young Germans had been disappointed by the revolution of 1918 and the events that followed. They had believed that a thorough change in economic conditions was necessary; but the German democracy, even in its Social Democratic branch, was essentially conservative In particular, petty-bourgeois idealists who regarded Versailles as a national humiliation were prone to dream about a strong Reich-a mixture of medievalism and modern imperialism; and Hitler seemed to offer this in his Third Reich.
