He is reinforcing the view of his ideals and transmitting the idea of the Volksgemeinschaft (national or people's community). He is emphasizing the teaching of loyalty to him and the regime, and is sponsoring youth activity to reinforce the importance of male physical strength, vitality, and militarism at a very young age. They are devoted to his thoughts and they wore scarves. He believed that teaching children how to become tough would free them from their weaknesses.<br /><br />Sound familiar?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-52594609226829602402010-07-20T10:06:11.548-07:002010-07-20T10:06:11.548-07:00At least Bret Knapp has earned his luxury sports c...At least Bret Knapp has earned his luxury sports car.
