The study deals with the analysis of the programmes, beliefs and aims of two significant representative German youth groups in inter-war Czechoslovakia the Sudetendeutsche Wandervogel and the leading Socialist youth group (Sozialistischer Jugendverband in der CSR) in the Czechoslovakian Republic. The basis of the educational endeavours of these youth groups is viewed in the context of the contemporary debate, attempts to reform life and create a "new person". The study shows that despite the efforts to unify German youth in the socialist camp, even in the federal urban conservative youth, the "victory" of the unifiers was never achieved. However, it is still possible to analyse the crysallisation of the educational theories operating in both groups aimed at the development of the "new person" as a basis of a new socialist society or the revival of a fundamental collective idea of an organically held nation. The study shows that, despite the heterogeniety of the aims and programmes of the chosen groups, we can still find similarities in the educational tools they used in the every-day life of youth. Their meanings were, however, interpreted differently by those young people according to which goals they were being managed towards.
