Next on reel america, from 1943, education for death, the making of the nazi is based on a book with the same title and this cartoon lampoons the hitler youth. What makes a nazi . How did he get that way . Lets look into the process. To begin with nazi control over a child begins as soon as it is born. A young german couple has come to register is the birth of their son. Heil, hitler. [ speaking Foreign Language ] those documents are birth certificates dating back to the grandparent to prove they are true aryan. The mother wants to call her son hans. This is the verboten, and hans seems to be all right. This is the hereditary passport and a space for 12 children, and a subtle hint that germany needs soldiers. As a reward they get a copy of germanys bestseller. And now, lets see what happens to one of hitlers children. Kindergarten, little hans learns the tale of the new order. Remember the story of Sleeping Beauty . Hans was taught that this wicked witch was democracy and Sleeping Beauty, what can she be . A ha here comes the prince. The prince is victorious. Democracy has fled. The prince breaks the magic spell with a kiss. The beautiful princess is germany. And the brave handsome knight, you know who he is. Heil, hitler. Heil, hitler. [ speaking Foreign Language ] heil, hitler. Heil, hitler. Heil, heil, heil. The moral of this nazi fairytale seems to be that hitler got germany on her feet, and climbed into the saddle and took her for a ride. The distortion of this tale has its purpose in molding the young nazi mind. Hitler becomes hans idol. But one day hans became sick. His mother is praying that her son get well, and she knows that the unfit are taken away by the state and never heard from again. Heil, hitler. Heil, hitler. [ speaking Foreign Language ] this superman has just reminded the mother that unless this mottling does not stop, hitler will take over. So hans has been told in school that he should give his daily pledge to fight and die for the furor, and this pleases him very much. They are good. They are good. But no one can hans schoolteacher is about to give the class a little lesson in natural history. But i can admit that now, lets see what they learn from this little lesson. [ speaking Foreign Language ] he said the poor rabbit. Is he out of his mind . What would defuror say . Now then, who can give the correct answer. The world belongs to the strong. And to the brutal. And to the brutal. The rabbit is a coward and deserves to die. Spit on the rabbit. Nice kids. Good, good. [ speaking Foreign Language ] he hates the rabbit. There is no room for weaklings, and hans is learning fast. My, how he hates that rabbit. Oh, that is better. Hans has come around to the correct nazi way of thinking. Nice going, eh, adolf . Yeah. This lesson is the basis for the nazi creed, and germany is going to likewide destroy all week and cowardly nations. Germans are a super race. All others are going to be slaves. Germans are unconquerable. They fear no one. Listen to the fanatic cry. Today, we own germany, and tomorrow, the whole world. Hans is now ready for the Higher Education as decreed by the furor. Marching and hiking, and no seed is formed of laughter, tolerance or mercy, and for him, only heiling and marching and marching and heiling as the years grind on. They still find him marching and heiling, and now with the grim work done, he is a good nazi, and he sees no more than the party wants him to, and says nothing more than the party wants him to say, and he does nothing more than what the party wants him to do, and so he is marching on with the millions of comrades trampling on the rights of others and for now his education is complete. His education for death. Each week american historys reel america brings you archival films that provide context for todays Public Affairs issues
