Abstract	Recent studies on primers from the time of the Third Reich in Germany show surprisingly little evidence of ideologisation. In comparison with other textbooks, national socialist contents were found to be present to a very limited degree. Rather than presenting the ideology, the books encouraged identification of the children with the presented image of the 'German child' and thus with their own 'Volksgemeinschaft' (ethnic community). This paper will investigate the reasons and context for these findings. In addition, it will analyse the image of the 'German child' presented to the children and the underlying concept of moratorium. Furthermore, this study will show the continuous and effective use of the concept of the child's 'power of innocence' ('Macht der Unschuld', Doris Bühler-Niederberger) as well as the aestheticisation of violence as a basis for the discursive construction of the image of the 'German child'.(Verlag).
