Episode synopsis
Documentary looking at the experiences of German children during the Nazi regime and the methods used by the Nazis both to lure and then force children into joining the Hitler Youth. Looks at the attraction of comradeship, marches, singing and parades, and opportunities for sport, camping and trips, and at indoctrination, both subtle and unsubtle, that took place. Considers the effects of this in creating arrogance, a desire to conform, fear of being different, racism, and faith in the Party.
