Discover how the Nazi regime transformed 8 million children into fanatical combatants. From humble origins of just 17,000 members in 1929 to absorbing 98% of all German youth by 1939, this documentary reveals the terrifying machine behind Nazi youth indoctrination. Featuring firsthand survivor testimonies — including the miraculous true story of Solomon Perel, a Jewish boy who survived by posing as an elite Nazi cadet — we examine how military games, propaganda, and brutal conditioning turned adolescents into child soldiers fighting to the bitter end in the ruins of Berlin.
