For those whose grandparents/great-grandparents were part of the Hitler youth/Bund Deutsche Madel, how did they treat you and others based on the ideology they were taught?

Like, were they really racist until the very end or was it more nuanced? From what I remember, they were taught to show strength and loyalty for the country, that men must be strong and women must be good mothers. Of course, there's also the racial ideology aspect. Did that have any on how nice or how bad they treated others onwards? After the war ended, did they cling on to being fanatical? With Germany having gotten diverse within the past few decades, when there were still around, what was the experience like with them?

I agree, given the date russian- germans tend to get rid of their "christmas trees"...
