Hitler Youth Artillery Scene

The Hitler Youth Scene is another scene used in Downfall Parodies. The scene is notable for the Hitler Youth soldiers preparing for a hopeless battle, being a lone unit onthe field and relying solely on an AA gun to fight.

In Downfall
The scene begins with many people running on the streets. The action then moves to severel Youth soldiers manning an AA gun. As people push a damaged tram, we see an old man without a hand, approaching the nest. A boy who was moving empty shells sees him and tells him to leave him alone. Wilhelm then asks everybody how old are they and why are there to play at war. The group commander, a young lieutenant asks him what he wants. The old man says he wants his son back, alive. The lieutenant tells him that he should be proud of his son, he destroyed two tanks and the Führer will award him laterthat day. Wilhelm asks the lieutenant if he has fought, but he answers that he has yet. A blonde pigtail girl says that they will all fight to the last man. Wilhelm however points out that they are in a trap, the Soviets will surround them. Inge claims that they will fight back with the flak gun and, despite the fact that Wilhelm points out that the Soviets will outnumber them, she ignores him and claims that they have all taken an oath. Wilhelm then shouts at them that the war is lost, to which Peter runs away yelling "Coward". Wilhelm tells them one last time that if they don't leave the Soviets will kil them. He then departs, while the Youth look indifferent.

In Downfall Parodies
The scene is used sometimes in parodies, albeit not so often. Parodies usually involve Wilhelm shouting at the Youth, criticising them. One notable use is in Hitler Vs Justin Bieber Fans, where Wilhelm criticises them for their lack of weapons in the war that they're about to fight.

In KakashiBallZ's parody Hitler and Friends Explain How to Make a Hitler Parody, the scene presents Wilhelm as Hitlerrantsparodies, criticising a handful of aspiring Hitler parody makers, on how they screw up their parodies.
