The scene takes place at a idyllic Bavarian or Berlin festival. The scene is light hearted. The camera pans to an innocent-looking young blond, blue eyed German boy singing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me".
He wears a light tan shirt. The camera slowly pans down until the Hitler Youth uniform with cross-strap and swastika arm band becomes visible.
The boy puts on his cap and gives the Nazi salute at the end of the song.
He wears below the knee knickerbockers tucked into heavy socks.
The shift from pure innocence to the sinister future is the most poweful momment in the film.
The inference of the song "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" becomes chillingly obvious.
In many ways it encapsulates the Hitler Youth.</i>
