Nazis Raised Money for “Youth Hostels”
Not only was this propaganda aimed at recruiting young people into the Nazi culture, it was a horribe lie. This poster directly asked for German citizens to donate money, claiming it would be used to build youth hostels and homes. The Nazi’s built some youth hotels but typically the money was used for much more nefarious reasons. Most of the time, donations were used for weapons and other military needs. As World War II drug on and Hitler found himself battling much of the free world, the staggering costs of his efforts weighed heavy on many German families who were scrapping to get by.
