Flying a Flag for Hitler: My Childhood in Nazi Germany
Author: Elsbeth Emmerich
Synopsis: The story of a child growing
up in the shadow of war. A story of separation, uncertainty, fear and
hope. Elsbeth was only five years old when World War II broke out, but
she soon began to understand how the war would affect her: coping with
food shortages, moving from house to house to avoid the air raids and
having to get used to the pain of a missing father. Alongside these
dramatic events she tells of ordinary family life: celebrations; going
shopping (being forced to give the Nazi salute to shopkeepers) and
school days. A fascinating autobiographical account coupled with unique
photographs taken by Elsbeth's father at the front, make Flying a Flag
for Hitler an inimitable insight into life in Nazi Germany.
