In 1933 this group began a rapid expansion and compulsory membership existed for girls between the ages of 10 and 18 in 1939 and all members were Germans, German citizens and free of hereditary diseases." (Jewish Virtual Library, 2009) Baldur von Schirach ran the group until 1934 when Trude Mohr accepted the appointment to the position of BDM-Teichsreferentin" however upon her marriage in 1937 she resigned by force and was followed by Dr. Jutta Rudiger.

Accordingly "the Hitler Youth movement emphasized activism, physical training, NAZI ideology, especially nationalism and racial concepts, and absolute obedience to Hitler and the NAZI Party. Indoctrinating children in National Socialist ideology was a key goal of the NAZI Party. Once Hitler assumed control over the German state, he used the Government to make the Hitler Youth the country's all encompassing youth movement" (HBU1, 1) The racial elements of the
Hitler's Personality And Rise To Power Adolph Hitler's rise to power over the course of the 1920s and 30s was due to a confluence of political and personal factors which served to make Hitler the ideal person to take control of Germany's failing fortunes.
