“Hitler Youth Quex” was one of the first Nazi propaganda films produced under the rule of Adolf Hitler. It is the semi-biographical story of a boy who is killed during the street fights between Communists and Nazis in Berlin in 1932 and subsequently became a martyr of the Nazi party. When the film showed in Germany in the Autumn of 1933, it became a surprise hit. This talk will place “Hitler Youth Quex” within the history of cinematic youth propaganda in the Third Reich but will also describe the film as a story of conversion that invites viewers to join the efforts of National Socialism.
