Michael O’Shaunessey, the son of the Irish ambassador to Nazi Germany, lives in war-torn Berlin with his parents. Like the other boys at his school, Michael is a member of the Hitler Youth. But Michael has a secret:

He and his parents are spies.

Michael and his family help downed Allied airmen to safety and send the Allies coded messages with the locations of Nazi factories, but when one of the boys in Michael’s Hitler Youth group shows him the secret plans to Projekt 1065, a prototype Nazi jet plane that could change the course of the war, Michael knows he has to steal the blueprints. To get close to the boy and the blueprints Michael has to go deeper and deeper into the madness of the Hitler Youth, and to do that, he may just have to sacrifice everything—and everyone—he loves."]]> 2020-11-13 16:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jalena/xt5pn284svfy0lsb/wish/920868304 jalena https://padlet.com/jalena/xt5pn284svfy0lsb/wish/920899068 Michael wears a Hitler uniform that includes a brown long-sleeved shirt, black shorts, white knee socks, and black hiking boots because he’s pretending to be a Nazi. ]]> 2020-11-13 16:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jalena/xt5pn284svfy0lsb/wish/920899068 jalena https://padlet.com/jalena/xt5pn284svfy0lsb/wish/920932312 Nazi school was a joke; mostly spent time doing physical education (i.e. playing games, running races, exercising) and learning about the history of Nazi Party and how to tell German Aryans from “subhumans."

The Hitler Youth school consisted of the Jungvolk, the junior Hitler Youth ranks—to the senior Hitler Youth squads when they turn fourteen.
