Артур Аксман - Единственное интервью с вождём Гитлерюгенда

Artur Axmann's only major post-war interview. Artur Axmann, once a young boy from a large family, joined the Hitler Youth and later, at a more mature age, personally led it. He also distinguished himself with heroic actions on the front lines, was seriously wounded, and lost an arm in battles on the territory of the USSR. He is one of only four people who were awarded the German Order, the highest award of the Third Reich, during their lifetime. Legends circulate about his fate, and he himself remained silent about his life for a long time, especially in the post-war years, which only fueled the keen interest of researchers and historians in his person. He was considered one of the possible heirs to the Führer, the keeper of the sparks from which the wind would later blow a new flame. 0:00 Introduction 2:15 Artur Axmann 3:52 Presentation 5:15 Anniversary of the end of the war 5:37 Childhood, youth and involvement in politics 8:06 Acquaintance with the Hitler Youth and the NSDAP 9:50 Impression of Joseph Goebbels 11:05 The Hitler Youth and street warfare with communists 12:36 Attitude towards young people with opposing views and idealists 13:26 Did the SA use the Hitler Youth for their own purposes? 14:17 What Artur Axmann lived on at that time 14:55 Impressions of Adolf Hitler 13:35 Who made up the Hitler Youth at that time 16:56 Horst Wessel 18:28 Herbert Norcus and the ‘cult of death’ in the Hitler Youth 20:36 The day the National Socialists seized power 21:36 The size of the NSDAP when it came to power 23:05 Why not democracy? 26:44 Otto Braun on the Weimar Republic 27:50 Gustav Stresemann on the Weimar Republic 28:55 The final nail in the coffin of the Weimar Republic 30:06 Book burning and persecution of Jews 34:15 Pre-war training in the Hitler Youth 35:10 Special divisions of the Hitler Youth as military formations 36:56 The Hitler Youth - a paramilitary organization? 38:08 Why were special branches of the Hitler Youth necessary? 45:02 NAPOLAS 46:35 War, personal relations with Hitler 48:30 Appointment as Reichsjugendführer and his tasks 49:50 Sending children to the countryside 53:12 Eastern Front, injury and recovery 54:03 Impressions of Heinrich Himmler.
