What+was+a+typical+day+in+Hitler+Youth+like?

The average day of someone attending the Hitler Youth was mainly about school and sports. Women and men attended different classes, and learned slightly different things than the boys. Boys were required to have at least two hours of physical education a day. Hitler in particularly suggested boxing, //with no gloves. He states: "There is no sport that, like this, that promotes the spirit of aggression in the same measure,demands determination as quick as lightning, educates the for steel like versatility."// The boys of the Hitler Youth assisted in fire services, anti-aircraft defense crews, and even radio service. Boys were even taught how to fire a gun. Women still needed physical activity but not as much as the boys, they focused on things like house living such as gardening, cleaning, and sending the boys and husbands off to war. Both genders were taught to hate Jews. The study of war was taught in almost every subject including math. Teachers and students met together at certain points so that they would discuss their goals, and how the teacher can help the child achieve such goal(s).
