How did the Nazi government specifically target young people in Germany while Hans and Sophie were growing up?

Youth Programs

Explanation:

The Nazi Government targeted kids by their Youth Programs known as "Hitlers Youth". They explained that the job of the German Boys was to defend their country and become soldiers and that the girls were meant to give birth to babies for the Reich. Some girls even came back home from that programs pregnant and at any opposition from parents the kids would threaten to call the Gestapo (German Secret Police)
