Description
The year is 1931. Young Heini Volker has a problem. His unemployed father demands he joins Berlin’s young Communists. But he loves the Hitler Youth.
How Heini resolves this quandary is the story of Hitlerjunge Quex, a movie central to the moral instruction of young Germans in the Nazi years.
Produced in 1933, Hitlerjunge Quex drew from the real story of Herbert Norkus, a Hitler Youth killed by Red street-fighters in 1932.
Musical score is by Hans-Otto Borgmann.
