Scope and Content

Filmstrip titled Versailles und seine Uberwindung [Overcoming Versailles] with 39 images produced to educate Hitler Youth group members about the injustices done to Germany by the Versailles Treaty that dictated the terms of Germany's defeat in World War I. The Propaganda Office of the Reich Youth Leadership produced a series of 35mm filmstrips in the late 1930s, Bildband fur die Schulung in der HJ [Filmstrip for Training in the Hitler Youth]. The filmstrips were distributed to local Hitler Youth chapters to show at gatherings and to use as propaganda to recruit members and disseminate the teachings of the Nazi Party. On December 1, 1936, the Reich Youth Leadership, under Baldur von Schirach, became an autonomous organization accountable only to Hitler. Membership in the Hitler Youth became mandatory on March 25, 1939.
