- Abstract
The Cadet School of the National People's Army (NVA) in Naumburg/Saale was established from 1956 to 1961 to train a new leadership elite for the GDR armed forces. The school was intended to specifically prepare selected children and adolescents for the officer profession in the NVA. Initially, the school had a high level of enthusiasm, but due to its specific social composition, an overloaded school routine, and pedagogical problems, the Cadet School increasingly came under criticism. Ultimately, the training of cadets was discontinued at the end of the 1960/61 school year, and the school was dissolved. It was not until after 1989/90 that the Cadet School was scientifically and literary examined. Olaf Rönnau's book "Eine totale Institution als Zwischenspiel" (A Total Institution as an Interlude) has made a contribution to the processing of the history of the NVA and the military education of youth in Germany.
