RARE 1936 NAZI BOOK ABOUT PREPARATORY MILITARY EDUCATION
|
Wehrerziehung translates as military education and in Nazi Germany it was an important part of the regular education of boys and young men. This pre-military education was a preliminary stage of actual military service and it was woven into the regular school curriculum. Aside from teaching the National Socialist Ideology (to create “political soldiers”), its goal was also practical, to prepare teenage German boys for military service by teaching them discipline, obedience, endurance, determination, and willingness to accept responsibility. Practical paramilitary education was also part of Wehrerziehung.
The 1936 First edition book we offer for sale on this USMBOOKS web page is called Die Wehrerziehung der deutschen Jugend (The Military Education of The German Youth) and has a Preface by Nazi War Minister Generalfeldmarschall Werner von Blomberg and a Foreword by Reichsjugendführer Baldur von Schirach.
The author of this rare book was Dr. Helmut Stellrecht, Obergebietsführer der Hitler-Jugend. Stellrecht was a National Socialist politician, SS-Brigadeführer and had a vital role in the political education of the Hitler Youth. He was also a leading figure in Amt Rosenberg and a member of the Dönitz government at the end of the Third Reich. Under the pseudonym Hermann Noelle he wrote several novels.

The 5-3/4 x 8-7/8 inch hardcover book contains the foundation and guidelines for German pre-military service. It starts with “the new German soldier”, a person who has the spirit to take on an offensive role while maintaining order and chivalry. Chapters on education in the field include marching, map reading, first aid, exercise, camouflage, target detection, field orientation, signaling, shooting, equipment, as well as specialties such as riding, aviation, military intelligence, technical and engineer training.
Evening educational and social meetings at home, HJ camping outings as well as obligatory labor service are covered in separate chapters.
