Description
The Third Reich's Elite Schools: A History of the Napolas Helen Roche presents a comprehensive history of the National Political Education Institutes (Napolas), the elite schools of the Third Reich. Drawing on material from eighty archives in six different countries worldwide, as well as eyewitness testimonies from over 100 former pupils, this study sheds light on the qualities the Nazi regime desired to instil in its future citizens. The Napolas provided an all-encompassing National Socialist 'total education', featuring ideological indoctrination, premilitary training, and a packed programme of extracurricular activities. Through an in-depth depiction of everyday life at the Napolas, this book demonstrates how the Nazi dictatorship's most effective educational experiment contributed to key debates on the political, social, and cultural history of the Third Reich. By examining the NPEA system and its schools, this study illuminates the broader history of the era in novel ways, offering a unique perspective on the history of education and youth during this period.
