Never has a generation been so completely taken over by a
totalitarian state as was the case in Hitler’s Third Reich: at
the age of 10 children joined the Jungvolk movement, at 14 they
joined the Hitler Youth, and at 18 they joined the party, the
Wehrmacht, the SA, or the SS. This 5-part documentary by Guido
Knopp and the ZDF Contemporary History Department is the first
comprehensive film portrayal of the young people in the Third
Reich. With in-depth witness statements and some previously
unpublished archive material, the documentary demonstrates how
Hitler succeeded in gaining power over his children through
years of manipulation. Episodes included: Seduction, Dedication,
Education, War, and Sacrifice. Watch the full documentary now –
