I Was There by Hans Peter Richter


This book is narrated by a young boy who joins the Hitler Youth and is turned from an innocent youngster into one of Hitler's soldiers.

This is another book that is hard to find (though this could largely be due to the fact that the title is largely unsearchable). Sorry I couldn't find a larger image of the cover. If I can get my hands on a copy I'll get a bigger picture on the post.

Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow by Susan Campbell Bartoletti



This is a well written and insightful look into the lives of those children that lived though the Second World War in Germany and were not persecuted.
