Hitler Youth Quex – A Guide for the English–speaking Reader BOOK (2nd edition, SEE the book's Table of Contents in the Photo Gallery.) Hitler Youth Quex, the story of a fifteen-year-old working-class boy who defied his father to join the Hitlerjugend in 1932 and died a martyr, was a best-selling novel that became a box office hit when it was released as a motion picture by the famous Ufa film studio in September 1933. It was the first feature film in history devoted to those under the age of twenty, and critics worldwide came to the film’s premieres in Munich and Berlin. Adolf Hitler attended both gala premieres. The film’s song became the anthem of the HJ, and over eleven million youngsters saw the film in the Third Reich. Hitlerjunge Quex became the cult film of the new German youth. This Guide provides a wealth of information about the film, from its evolution as a novel to its serialization in newspapers and its adaptation for the silver screen. The fascinating careers of the critical men involved – the book’s author, Klaus Schenzinger, the film’s producer, Karl Ritter, and the film’s director, Hans Steinhoff – are presented. The pivotal role of the Reich Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach is explored, with additional commentary from his oldest son, Klaus. The unpublished diaries of Karl Ritter found in Argentina provide new insight into the film's production. A chapter on Jürgen Ohlsen, who played the title role, offers information that has been heretofore overlooked. All of the comprehensive Ufa studio marketing and publicity materials are translated into English for the first time. The movie's success before 1945, not just in German cinemas but in Europe, North America, and Japan between 1934 and 1944, is documented with rare advertising and reviews. The fate of the film post–WWII and how it is dealt with in today’s Germany is examined. Post-war critical analysis is also surveyed. This Guide is the first book solely devoted to telling the story behind Hitler Youth Quex in English or German. It will be of interest to film students, film collectors, and anyone interested in Third Reich propaganda. 432 + -x- pages, with 67 illustrations and 13 color plates. Author William Gillespie. Our 2nd revised edition! THE OUTSTANDING BOOK REVIEW FROM THE PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMIC PUBLICATION " The Historical Journal of Film, Radio & Television." : "The greatest merit of Gillespie’s book is that he not only brings together many sources that are difficult to access, but also makes them accessible to an English-speaking audience." -and- "Hitler Youth Quex: A Guide for the English-speaking Reader’s unique selling point, thus, is the way it presents and discusses a range of different primary sources and embeds them in the historical context. "Gillespie's book is a treasure trove for scholars of history, film history and propaganda more generally. This includes graduate and postgraduate students, early career researchers and more established academics. As such it is recommended for the essential classroom reading lists on any course dealing with film propaganda." - The Historical Journal of Film, Radio & Television, 2024 Books are posted in a sturdy, die-cut, heavy cardboard mailer, as shown, using Australia Post's Domestic and International Standard Airmail Shipping, or AP International Express Post shipping.
