Adolf Hitler Schools (AHS) were 12 elite boarding schools run by the SS in Nazi Germany from 1937 to 1945. Their aim was to indoctrinate young peoplehttps://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/nazi-germany/adolf-hitler-schools/
Adolf Hitler Schools were seen as being at the very pinnacle of the Nazi education system. Adolf Hitler gained power in January 1933 and quickly started to redesign the whole educational structure of Nazi Germany. Adolf Hitler Schools Adolf Hitler-Schule was one of three new types of educational facilities introduced by Hitler to create a Nazi elite.
It took a few years for the changes to take firm roots and when it was clear that such changes were fully in place, in January 1937 Hitler allowed his name to be attached to such schools. National Political Training Institutes catered for the same age group as Adolf Hitler Schools while Order Castles catered for university aged students.

Children who attended the Adolf Hitler Schools were preselected from the Hitler Youth movement (Hitler Jugend). The selection process started at the junior end of the Hitler Youth Movement the so-called Young Folk (Jungfolk). Children in their second year of the Jungvolk were deemed old enough to be considered for selection.
They were checked for their racial purity and once they passed this they were sent to a camp for two weeks to prove that they were worthy of being part of the Adolf Hitler Schools system.
Physical appearance was important and a good candidate was considered to be a child who had blond hair and blue eyes as such characteristics fitted in with Hitlers Aryan ideals.

School were subjected to an education that was militaristic. Pupils were divided into squads and they trained not only in military and academic studies but in deportment, bed-making and personal hygiene.
Squads were put up against one another and no one individual passed or failed the whole squad either passed or not. In this way instructors/teachers could ensure that each squad member would keep an eye on others in his squad and ensured that everyone did their best for the benefit of the whole squad.
Peer group pressure was used to ensure that each squad pushed for the highest standards.
...based around physical training. It usually outweighed academic classroom work by a proportion of 5 to 1. Each child had to prove himself Bewährung if they wanted to pass their so-called Final Review.
Those who completed their time at these schools, usually five years, left at the age of 18 and were eligible to go to university. Many joined the officer corps of the military and were viewed as the future military leaders of the 1000-year Third Reich.
Regardless of which direction they chose, graduates of an Adolf Hitler School were considered to be the future elite of Nazi Germany and their education was considered a passport and guarantee for future progress within the system.
SNIP
The teachers in Adolf Hitler Schools were also selected. They were known as school leaders as opposed to teachers. Each one had a rank in the Hitler Youth movement, which also set them apart from teachers in normal schools, the gymnasiums.
SNIP
Not all of the school leaders were trained teachers and the syllabus in each school was very narrow
Snip
Schooling in worldview and religion lore were also taught. Again, these were so varied in terms of what could be taught that the 1944 syllabus directive had to specify what had to be taught.

"There were to be two basic educational ideas in his ideal state. First, there must be burnt into the heart and brains of youth the sense of race. Second, German youth must be made ready for war, educated for victory or death. The ultimate purpose of education was to fashion citizens conscious of the glory of country and filled with fanatical devotion to the national cause."

The physical destruction of literature by the Nazi movement has long lived in the memory of those opposed to fascism, with images of bonfires raging amidst a procession of torches becoming an instantly recognisable scene and a potent metaphor for totalitarianism.
