Adolf Hitler Schools (AHS) were National Socialist boarding schools (12 in total) created to indoctrinate the youth of Nazi Germany, which in many ways resembled the National Political Educational Institutions ("Napolas"); the AHS were counted among the National Socialist's elite institutions. Training at the AHS was reserved for boys between the ages of 14 to 18 years of age with a similar construct for girls of like age (although only three such schools for girls existed). Selection of pupils at the schools was rigorous and pupils were chosen for their political dedication and physical fitness, as opposed to their academic prowess. Activities often focused on political indoctrination instead of academics—the SS ran a number of such school—from which they frequently selected future officers.
