Die Geschichte der Hitlerjugend
Directed by Karl Höffkes2003 85mDocumentary, History,
Although the Hitler Youth, with over eight million members, was the largest youth organization in German history, many questions regarding its development, its leadership structure and its internal political orientation are still unanswered. With largely never-seen-before, privately filmed footage, this documentary provides detailed and exciting insights into the development of the Hitler Youth from its beginnings coinciding with Adolf Hitler's rise to power to the last war effort. Bonuses include amateur and home movies from the life of the Hitler Youth, extensive pictorial material, illustrations of documents, badges and uniforms as well as biographies of all historically important witnesses involved in the movement.
