Why+were+the+children+so+enthused+and+patriotic+about+the+program?

The program at the time offered the children a chance to serve their homeland and an escape from the normality of a home life for the adventures of pre-army activities. Hitler’s god-like status to the German people also helped ensure that children would participate in the war movement, considering they worshipped him to a point. Also his promises to help restore the country to its former glory drew large masses of people. "Young people were especially drawn to Hitler and his promises." (Heinrich Hoffman 17) Hitler Youth (Book)
