!!!Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten

National Political Institutes of Education, Napolas (short for 
Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalten), boarding-schools established 
by the Nazi rulers from 1938-1945 to educate future Nazi leaders; 
these schools had the same curriculum as secondary schools but 
emphasized physical training. Only "racially flawless" (no pupils 
wearing glasses or hard of hearing) boys and girls "of above-average 
intelligence" were accepted (8-day entrance exams). The Austrian 
Federal Schools in Vienna ( Theresianum in the 4%%sup th/%  district 
and Breitensee barracks in the 14%%sup th/%  district) and in 
Traiskirchen (Lower Austria) were turned into Napolas for boys, others 
were founded in St. Paul im Lavanttal (Carinthia), Goettweig 
(Lower Austria), Seckau and Vorau (Styria). The Napolas for girls were 
established in Tuernitz (first to fourth form) and in Hubertendorf bei 
Blindenmarkt,(fifth to eighth form), both in Lower Austria.
