A.) Hitler realized that the youth are not only the most impressionable and easily susceptible to propaganda, but that they were also the future of the Reich in terms of future soldiers and future political officers.
B.) The math problem has racial undertones not to mention obvious connotations of war. Modern math books tend to not mention violence and are geared to be more multiculturally accepting. The goal of the problem was to indoctrinate children into thinking war was just another part of life, simple enough to casually mention in a math book.
C.) 23/6/1934
I was awoken this morning to the shouting of my commander telling us to get outside. We did our basic half and hour of exercise. We then marched the 2 km to the stream to wash up. We were all looking forward to breakfast, but before we could get ready and dressed to eat, we were told that we were going on a hike and we only had one ration pack to last us all day. About 20 km into the 50 km hike, I decided it was a good time to eat. The last 30 km seemed the most difficult but we reached the campsite not long before dark had set in.
