The Deutsches Jungvolk (German Youth) was the subdivision of the Hitler Youth for boys aged 10 to 14. It reinforced the National Socialist view of Aryan ideals and transmitted the Nazi idea of the Volksgemeinschaft (national or people's community). It emphasized the teaching of loyalty to Hitler and the regime, and it sponsored youth activity to reinforce the importance of male physical strength, vitality, and militarism at a very young age. They were devoted to the Nazi thoughts and they wore scarves. Parents could send their children to become members of the organization up to the age of fourteen. The Nazis believed that teaching children how to become tough would free them from their weaknesses. It sowed anti-Semitism through indoctrination.
