Hitler Youth Documentary
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
I am raising money to pay for my footage for my documentary. It is currently called "Gunter" and its about a man who was in the Hitler Youth during WW2.
The Hitler Youth was like Boy Scouts for the Nazi party. They taught them just about everything boy scouts learned, but with Nazi ideals underlying them so that they would potentially be later drafted into the German army.
My main interview will be with a man named Gunter Koepsell, who was 15 when he was head of the bugle corp in the HY. In 1945, when Germany was losing the war, Gunter was drafted into the army, and his main job was to put mines into the ground.
My documentary will be focusing on manipulation, especially with youth. Millions of kids in Germany were brainwashed into an anit-semititc culture.
For my documentary, I will be needing lots of b-roll from WW2. Much of the archives require a fee for the rights. Of course, I am a poor college student, so there's not a lot of my personal budget that I can allow.
Any donations would be incredible, and much appreciated. I want this documentary to hopefully shed a light on a dark time in humanity's history because if we don't learn from it, we might repeat it.
All donators will be given a DVD copy of my film once it is completed in May and also a special thank you in the credits.
Please help out if you can!
