Growing up in Germany in the 1930s, Kurt Schultheiss was like the other kids in his neighborhood: rambunctious, inquisitive, and the center of his parents' world. With his blond hair and blue eyes, he was also the picture of Aryan purity, a poster child for the band of “magnificent youngsters” with which Adolf Hitler plotted to build his “new world.” Kurt and his friends enjoyed camping, weapons training and complete indoctrination into the Nazi philosophy of world domination.
