During the Nazi era in Germany, the regime ran elite schools to recruit and train future Nazi leaders. There were three kinds:

1) Napola (National Political Institutes of Education): about 35 schools run by the SA, SS, and the army. By 1941, around 6,000 students attended.

2) Adolf Hitler Schools: supervised by the Nazi Party, the German Labour Front, and the Hitler Youth. These were party schools and were not part of the Reich Ministry of Education.

3) Reichsschulen (Reich schools): from 1941, party-owned schools were called Reichsschulen. A notable example was Reichsschule Feldafing, created to train leaders for top state and social roles in line with Nazi ideology. It began as the private National Socialist German High School Starnberger See, linked to the SA leadership and the National Socialist Teachers League and the Nazi Party.
