Samenvatting
A shocking personal memoir and a new perspective on World War II that follows the authors journey in the footsteps of her fathers youth as one of Hitlers child soldiers bringing to light the untold story of the 300,000 German children who served in Hitlers army
When Helene Munson finally reads her father, Hans Dunkers, wartime journal, she discovers secrets he kept buried for seven decades. This is no ordinary historical document but a personal account of devastating trauma.
During World War II, the Nazis trained some three hundred thousand German children to fightand diefor Hitler. Hans was just one of those boy soldiers. Sent to an elite school for the gifted at nine years old, he found himself in the grip of a system that substituted dummy grenades for Frisbees. By age seventeen, Hans had shot down Allied pilots with antiaircraft artillery. In the desperate, final stage of Hitlers war, he was sent on a suicide mission to Závada on the Sudetenland front, where he witnessed the death of his schoolmatesand where Helene begins to retrace her fathers footsteps after his death.
As Helene translates Hanss journal and walks his path of suffering and redemption, she uncovers the lost history of an entire generation brainwashed by the Third Reichs school system and funneled into the Hitler Youth.
A startling new account of this dark era, Hitlers Boy Soldiers grapples with inherited trauma, the burden of guilt, and the blurred line between perpetrator and victim. It is also a poignant tale of forgiveness, as Helene comes to see her late father as not just a soldier but as one child in a sea of three hundred thousand forced onto the wrong side of historyand left to answer for it.
