This book is a personal account of Alfons Heck, who was a German boy living during World War II. He was inducted into the Hitler Youth, and tells of his experiences as a member of that group. I haven't really read many books like this, personal accounts from Hitler Youth members or children of Nazis. I saw this and had to get it. There are so many accounts from other groups during the war years, and I feel like it is biased to only read those accounts. This war and ideology impacted everyone, from all degrees of society. I thought this book was very interesting, and I hope to find some more like it.
