»>The German People won¿t never let its Führer down<. Abitur essays in the Third Reich« Abitur essays from the Third Reich are highly politicised. They address all major topics of National Socialism. They not only provide insights into everyday school life, but also information about the general goals of National Socialism and the way in which they were communicated. In 1928, Hitler declared: »The National Socialist movement intrinsically has to educate the German people such that it does not shy away from blood commitment in the shaping of their lives.« The central theme of all essays is thus war. Again and again there is talk of dying. To quote one essay: »We must have no regard for our lives either, since time immemorial it was everyone's greatest happiness to joyfully die for their country.« >Raising to die<, the willingness to sacrifice one's own life, was a fundamental educational goal and part of the preparation for war. In »Mein Kampf«, Hitler demanded: »An iron principle must be hammered into the minds of young people who are still capable to be educated: He who loves his people proves it only through the sacrifices he is willing to make for them.« The Abitur essays are important testimonies to this educational work.
