I am curious as to what life consisted of for both boys and girls from the time that they began their indoctrination through graduation. What did their day consist of? How did it vary by age, sex, and locale? Were their published guidelines as to how these children spent their weekdays and weekend?
 
Hi welcome to the forum:)

The book THE HITLER YOUTH by MICHAEL KATER details this very well and I think once read you will have a good general knowledge on the subject

Cheers

Some other books that may be of interest are:

1) "Requiem for German Past" by Jurgen Herbst

2) "Forget that you were Hitler's Soldiers" by Hermann Pfrengle

3) "A long Walk" by Claus Hackenberger

4) "Memiors of a 1000-year-old Women" by Giesela McBride


These cover daily life in Germany, school, and what they saw during the war.
