Talk:Hitler Youth

I've basically reshaped this article and added some more content. Feel free to add any feedback. ArnoldLarny 13:33, 9 July 2009 (EDT)

I understand that there's some controversy here about whether the Nazi party is a far-left or far-right political organisation. I have replaced usages with "extremist", because I believe that there are elements of Nazi doctrine which come from both the extreme-left (socialism) and the extreme right (nationalism, institutional racism). I would suggest that although the Nazi party was never a mainstream right-wing party, there were many elements of Nazi doctrine which reflected the extreme-right more than the extreme-left. Also, there were extremist political parties of no real allegiance (the Anarchists etc.) operating in Germany in the mid-1920s, so I suggest Extremist is a more sensible word to use in this context. I hope I have made my reasoning clear, and I invite any reply. I'm not some left-winger, I just feel that this is historically correct. ArnoldLarny 17:07, 11 July 2009 (EDT)
