While Germany sought appeasement from outside countries during the run-up to World War II, internally it began to try turning its citizens against the people who it would blame for Germany's problems. One way to do this was to begin appealing to children with racist, vicious propaganda and a dubious activity club.
Thus did the Nazis form the Hitler Youth. While the club was promoted as a German version of the Boy Scouts, its main intent was to normalize the hatred against the Jews and other minorities that would become scapegoats under Adolf Hitler's rule.
Another way they sought to normalize things was with a series of Anti-Semitic children's books such as the repellent Der Giftpilz which sought to dehumanize Germany's "enemies".
It would signal the beginning of Germany's march to horror.
