From German girl to Hitler's fanatical Nazi assassin - Nazi Werewolf Ilse Hirsch

Ilse Hirsch - HITLER's Blonde NAZI Werewolf who became a FANATICAL Nazi Female Soldier. The 6th of June 1944. Ilse Hirsch was born on the 21st of May 1922 in Hamm, then part of the Weimar Republic, which was the name given to the German government between 1918 and 1933.
Ilse was only 10 years old when on 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg.

When she was sixteen, she joined The League of German Girls, which was the female section of the Hitler Youth.
These organizations, led by Baldur von Schirach, were the primary tools that the Nazis used to indoctrinate young people with Nazi ideology, thus shaping the beliefs, thinking and actions of German youth. While in January 1933, the Hitler Youth had approximately 100,000 members, by the end of the year this figure had increased to over 2 million. Jews were not allowed to join these organizations. Boys and girls were taught to be both racially conscious and physically fit to build a new future for Germany and were often ,present at Nazi Party rallies and marches. Since the Hitler Youth and its female section, the League of German Girls were considered fully Aryan organizations by Nazi officials, premarital sex was encouraged in their ranks. At the 1936 Nuremberg Rally, where there were some 100,000 participants of youth organizations present, 900 girls between fifteen and eighteen years of age returned home pregnant.
While boys participated in military training to be trained as future fighters and soldiers for war, girls prepared for their futures as wives and mothers. The League of German Girls emphasized collective athletics, such as rhythmic gymnastics, which German health authorities deemed less strenuous to the female body and better geared to preparing them for motherhood. These activities also served to demonstrate the value of working together. The League trained girls to care for the home and family and girls learned skills such as sewing, nursing, cooking, and household chores. In 1936, membership in Nazi youth groups became mandatory for all boys and girls between the ages of ten and seventeen. Parents who refused to allow their children to join were subject to investigation by the authorities.
In fact, the Hitler Youth and its female section the League of German Girls even encouraged their members to report to their leaders about what was happening in their schools or churches as well as if their parents or neighbors were not acting in line with the regime.

Schools too played an important role in spreading Nazi ideas to German youth. From their first days at school, German children were imbued with the cult of Adolf Hitler and his portrait was a standard fixture in all classrooms. While censors removed some books from the classroom, German educators introduced new textbooks that taught students love for Hitler, obedience to state authority, militarism, racism, and antisemitism.

"there were no tears shed for Ilsa Hirsch." How melodramtic. I'm pretty sure her family shed some tears.

"There were no tears shed for Ilse Hirsch."

Dude, the woman died in 2000, aged 78. She had a husband, two children, who most likely had children of their own. Do you really think all those people came together and said _"Well, she was our wife, mother and grandmother... But whatever."_ ?

[fredrickmarsiello]

I believe there were tears shed for her, by her children and grandchildren.

[dasta]

"there were no tears shed" I'm sure by1981 after raising a family and living the rest of her life there would have been tears shed at her death.

The majority of the clips shown have nothing to do with what's being narrated. And the majority of what's being narrated has nothing to do with the title or its thumbnail.

My father served in the European Theater during WW2. He spoke fluent German, and was often used to translate/interrogate prisoners held for whatever reason. I remember him saying that towards the end of the war, the most fanatical Germans were the teenagers who had been brought up as the Hitler Youth. He said that it was his experience that you couldn’t reach them, that they were too indoctrinated and would not give up their evil ideals.

Spain, Italy, Germany, Croatia, Romania, Vichy France, Netherlands, Prussia, Czechoslovakia and Finland... Fighting Communism Since 1870. May God Hold These Brave Souls Gently.

8:45 - "A single motto remains for us; conquer or die." - This is a mistranslation. He didn't say conquer, he said 'overcome' which in the situation is equivalent to 'survive' the oncoming onslaught on all fronts. Especially the Red Terror in the east.

Well then I shed some tears for her and kids like this being used and abused as soldiers throughout the world. It is horrible what has been and still is being done to them.

Honestly, why the hate and spite for this girl? I mean I find Nazis as distasteful as anyone but its not as if she committed any direct atrocities. She wasn't a camp guard or einsatzgruppen. Raised indoctrinated she was probably a racist but then, who in 1940 wasn't a racist? The account of her single military action does not include anything unlawful or atrocious. It was a para commando raid to eliminate an enemy occupation official. I see nothing objectionable about that, anymore than say, the behind the lines assassination of Heydrich. She conducted a single legitimate military action and was wounded for her trouble. To me, she was simply a German veteran and seems to have turned her life around after the war. I see no cause to treat her as a despised person - which it would seem was also the conclusion of the post war tribunals, who were quite hang-happy even for females, if they found they had done actual atrocities.

[misdangered]

As a 22 year old girl she parachuted behind enemy lines from a B17 bomber, took part in an undercover assassination raid, escaped back to her own lines, got married, had three children, and lived happily ever after. Kids these days don’t know what they’re missing!

[hydra]

I'm sure, her family cried when she died.

[carlgriffith]

I don't agree with that last comment about "no tears" were shed for her when she died. She was just a girl, that grew up in a time when so many were politically indoctrinated to some horrible crap. I am certain many of us today would have been the same as her if we were indeed subjected to the same political poison. I don't blame her at all and really, she was quite a brave girl to do what she did and survive it all, later having a normal life and a family. I say, may she rest in peace!

[chainsawsubtlety]

Can't stop thinking of the parallels between the "Yahtzee Youth" and the Modern Left.

[jean-pierregrazioli]

Une vraie patriote ! comme il en existaient partout, même en Angleterre et aux USA. Paix à son âme.
A true patriot! as they existed everywhere, even in England and the USA. Rest in peace.

[donnielewis]

This woman was amazing the things she’s done

[apexalpha]

She sounds Awesome ! I KNOW Many Tears were shed for HER !

[carl]

She was not a monster just young and fill with glory dreams of saving her mother land. No less than any of us would do.

A noteworthy detail of the volksstrum footage beginning at 6:26 is the man in dark clothing carrying a Lewis gun. Germany often rechambered captured Lewis guns to fire 7.92mm Mauser and then issued them to 2nd or 3rd line forces. This example is an infantry version, with its aluminum radiator and 47-round pan magazine.
