"A Novel Based on the True Story of a Hitler Youth"
Helmuth Hubener lives during the time when Hitler rises to power and observes the events around him with a critical eye. Even though he is only a teenager, he feels that he needs to expose Hitler and the Nazi government's lies. With courage and confidence, he produces pamphlets about the lies and distributes them so other Germans can learn the truth.
He is sentenced, tried as an adult and executed.
Well researched and moves along at a fast pace.
The author flip flops between Mr. Hubener's last day in prison and the events leading up to his imprisonment.
*Highly recommend.
