A Hitler Youth Girl and the Battle of Aachen (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Hitler proclaimed that a youth of iron would emerge from his National Socialist society, a youth which would terrify the world. The Hitler Youth generation was born between the years 1922-1930; these would be the German children baptised with blood and fire, entering a world of violence to the sounds of thousands of jackboots, screams of "Sieg Heil", breaking glass, gunfire and bombs. This was a youth tempered in the flames of National socialism, prerequisites to the creation of the unthinkable, mothers and fathers of the Aryan Race. As a youngster, Wiener Katte, born in Berlin on 30 August 1930, witnessed the violence of the Nazi state in an increasingly racial, political and Anti-Semitic environment. Torn between her own principles and those of her regime-sympathetic family, Wiener was determined to never abandon her moral values and sell her soul to the devil as many of her generation would. Fate placed a fourteen-year-old Wiener in the heart of one of the bloodiest battles of the Second World War, Aachen. This is Wiener's story told for the first time in full in her own words.
