The "Sudetendeutsche Jugendgemeinschaft": The Ideological and Organisational Platform of the Sudeten German Youth Movement and Its Means to Create the "Sudetendeutsche Volksgemeinschaft"
Kasper, Tomas
Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, v56 n5 p642-661 2020
The presented study reconstructs how the concept of the total united Sudeten German National Community (sudetendeutsche totale einheitliche Volksgemeinschaft) was formed in the national conservative youth camp (i.e., among the bourgeois, rural and Catholic German youth in Czechoslovakia in the interwar period). Although this goal was repeated and highlighted by many youth leaders, they were already diverging in the concrete way of its implementation for they did not want to give up the independence of their associations by "merging" with one "chosen" organization. The study reconstructs the educational programs of the nationally conservative Sudeten German youth from the years 1918-1933 and 1933-1938, when under the weight of the political and economic crisis in Czechoslovakia there was increasingly intense "pressure" on the unity of the German national conservative youth, which, according to educational agitators was to be led under one banner, in the spirit of a unified nationalist and racially pure educational program, and with the aim of replacing politics and achieving a unified national community through education. Its exploitation for national political, undemocratic and pro-fascist goals was evident in the associations and societies in question.
