Summary:
Helene Munson resurrects her fathers WWII journals and embarks on a meticulous investigation, exposing how the Nazis trained 300,000 impressionable children as soldiers. In 1937, Munsons father, Hans, was enrolled in an elite German school whose students were destined to take leadership roles in the Reich. At fifteen, he was drafted as an antiaircraft gunneralong with the rest of the Hitler Youthand assigned to an SS unit. As the war was being lost, Hans and his schoolmates were ordered to the front lines. Few returned. A personal lens into a nations shameful past, Hitlers Boy Soldiers documents the history of the largest army of child soldiers in recent memory. Munson explores the lifelong effects on brainwashed children coerced to join a party they didnt understand. Both a modern narrative and an important historical contribution, Hitlers Boy Soldiers grapples with inherited trauma, the nature of being victim or perpetrator, and the burden of guilt.
