Zac at RMS.

this book is about a large group (500,000) of children that were forced to join part of Adolf Hitlers NAZI regime.Hitler mixed fun with paramilitary training to lure in the trust of the german children. One of the ex-hitler youth members stated that they played games and took field trips but they also learned about spy training and sabotage. during the later years of ww2 (1944) berlin was hitlers last strond hold and it was a pathetic hold at that. hitler sent men and boys ranging from10 to 70 to fight for his beloved land. out of the fivethousand that were sent in only 50 made it out alive.
