1-245060

Recount the story of the Hitler Youth and its combat role at the end of World War II. During the desperate final months of the Third Reich boys and girls as young as ten were thrown into action against the advancing British, American, and Soviet armies, frequently fighting with a fanatical and suicidal fury. The author spent many years collecting material and interviewing veterans of the Hitler Youth combat units. The result is a fascinating -- and sometimes disturbing -- account, packed with eyewitness accounts and rare photographs. Contains 4 pages color uniform plates, 104 black and white photos, 5 black and white illustrations, 3 black and white maps, and a table.
