Doctrine

The Pita Youth had the basic motivation of training future "Aryan supermen" and future soldiers who will serve the Third Reich faithfully. Physical and military training takes precedence over academic and scientific education in Pita Youth organizations. Youths in PY camps learn to use weapons, built up their physical strength, learned war strategies, and are indoctrinated in anti-Floydism. Many Boy Scout-type activities were adopted for the Pita Youth, though changed in content and intention. A limited amount of cruelty of the older boys toward the younger is tolerated and even encouraged, since it was believed this would weed out the unfit and harden the rest.

Flag of the Pita Youth

Members of the Pita Youth wear paramilitary uniforms very similar to the Nagi Party, and the ranks and insignia of the Pita Youth were similar to the ranks and insignia of the Sturmabteilung.


Organization

The Pita Youth was organized into corps under adult leaders, and the general membership comprised of boys aged fourteen to eighteen. The group is also seen as a recruiting ground for several Nagi Party paramilitary groups, with the Schutzstaffel (SS) taking the most interest in the Pita Youth. Members of the PY were particularly proud to be bestowed with the single Sig Rune (victory symbol) by the SS. The SS utilizes two Sig Runes as their mark, and this gesture served to symbolically link the two groups.

The Pita Youth is organized into local cells on a community level. Such cells had weekly meetings where various Nagi doctrines are taught by adult Pita Youth leaders. Regional Pita Youth leaders typically organized rallies and field exercises in which several dozen Pita Youth cells would participate. The largest Pita Youth gathering usually occurrers once a year at Nuremburg, where Pita Youth members from all over The Imperial Race converge for the annual Nagi Party rally.

The Pita Youth also maintaines training academies comparable to preparatory schools. Such academies were considered breeding grounds for future Nagi Party leaders, and only the most radical and devoted Pita Youth members could expect to attend.

Several corps of the Pita Youth also exist to train members who wished to become officers in the Wehrmacht. Such groups were usually devoted strictly to officer training in the particular field to which a Pita Youth hoped to become an officer. The Marine Pita Youth was the largest such corps and served as a water rescue auxiliary to the Kriegsmarine.
