Contents A generational apocalypse -- Organizing the youth in Fascist Italy -- A new class of educators -- And they will never be free again, for the rest of their lives -- The training of the Hitler youth leadership -- The relationship between the Opera Nazionale Balilla and the Hitlerjugend -- The Hitlerjugend academy of Braunschweig -- A new organization -- The relationship between the Gioventù Italiana del Littorio and the Hitlerjugend -- Nazi and Fascist youth leaders and the effects of war Summary Despite their undeniable importance, the leaders of the Fascist and Nazi youth organizations have received little attention from historians. In Shaping the New Man, Alessio Ponzio uncovers the largely untold story of the training and education of these crucial protagonists of the Fascist and Nazi regime, and he examines more broadly the structures, ideologies, rhetoric, and aspirations of youth organizations in Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Ponzio shows how the Italian Fascists' pedagogical practices influenced the origin and evolution of the Hitler Youth. He dissects similarities and differences in the training processes of the youth leaders of the Opera Nazionale Balilla, Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, and HItlerjugend. And, he explores the transnational institutional interactions and mutual cooperation that flourished between Mussolini's and Hitler's youth organizations in the 1930s and 1940s. -- from back cover Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Hitler-Jugend.
