Bartoletti, S. C. (2005). Hitler Youth: growing up in Hitler's shadow. New York: Scholastic Nonfiction.
Once in power, Hitler began using children to spread his evil and propaganda. "Pure" children were sent to camps to learn how to fight, shoot, dig trenches, and were taught that the elderly and disabled were useless. Hitler gained their trust and loyalty, so much so that children would even turn their parents in to the Nazis.
The book gives details and interviews with actual youth members.
The book is organized very well. The readers learns of why Hitler was elected, how his thirst for power created his evil plan, and then how he began recruiting and training the youth.
