Where can I find more information on Nazi educational propaganda?
I'm looking to do some research into the Nazi educational system and the way they were able to influence/brainwash the young of Germany into following Hitler to the end.
Does anyone have any recommendations for books or documentaries on Nazi education? There's one 6-part series called Hitler's Children that I've already watched, but I was hoping to find some more detailed information.
Thanks for your help.

You might try the site...Holocaust Research Project...(google that name). They have a lot of propaganda-hate educational images in their propaganda sections. For detailed in depth info, maybe follow links from there or you may have to check out a in depth book on so specific a Nazi topic.

Nazi Germany
Main article: Nazi propaganda
Nazi Euthanasia Propaganda Poster (c. 1938)
News of the Bataan Death March sparked outrage in the U.S., as reflected in this poster.
Most propaganda in Germany was produced by the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Joseph Goebbels was placed in charge of this ministry shortly after Hitler took power in 1933. All journalists, writers, and artists were required to register with one of the Ministry's subordinate chambers for the press, fine arts, music, theatre, film, literature, or radio.
The Nazis believed in propaganda as a vital tool in achieving their goals. Adolf Hitler, Germany's Führer, was impressed by the power of Allied propaganda during World War I and believed that it had been a primary cause of the collapse of morale and revolts in the German home front and Navy in 1918 (see also: DolchstoÃlegende). Hitler met nearly every day with Goebbels to discuss the news, and Goebbels would obtain Hitler's thoughts on the subject. Goebbels then met with senior Ministry officials to pass down the official Party line on world events. Broadcasters and journalists required prior approval before their works were disseminated. Along with posters, the Nazis produced a number of films and books to spread their beliefs. Artists deemed irreplaceble where included in Goebbel's Gottbegnadeten list (people such as Marika Rökk and Johannes Heesters). Leni Riefenstahl was arguably the most famous director from the era.[27]
Youth in Nazi Germany
[IMAGE] Germany was in one of its strongest stances for nearly 20
years. It was this that Hitler wanted to capitalise on for the future
of Nazi Germany and by doing this they need to take advantage of the
young people as they are the next generation of Nazis. Using the ideas
of Social Darwinism they Nazis decided that only the most strongest
and ruthless should survive. This was to be the Aryan race. How was
Hitler supposed to tackle such a massive task? Would it work? And what
effects would it have? The Nazis would have to brainwash the German
youth in every possible way. So they did, they took over the lives of
the German children, and run them for them. If Hitler wanted his
anticipated 1000-year regime to succeed the future generations were
World War II will be remembered in world history and taught to younger generations for years to come. Important people and events became forever famous such as Hitler and the Nazis, the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, D-Day, and the Nuremberg Trials. Compared to these important events and people, little has been written on a group of young men and women (often young boys and girls) called the Hitler-Jugend (Hitler Youth). In March 1933, before the onset of World War II, Hitler became chancellor of Germany and created this nationalistic youth group, with Nazi ideology and physical fitness as top priorities. As the years went on and the war started, the members of the Hitler-Jugend became more than just a youth group, they became soldiers, medics, and helped in any way they could for a war based on principles they did not understand.
