- catalog abstract ""A Mind in Prison is a candid autobiographical examination of life in Nazi Germany and the powerful hold Nazi propaganda had on Germany's youth. It is rare to find such an eloquent, frank, and truly remorseful account of the Nazi years by a German who made the tragic mistake of following Adolf Hitler.". "Bruno Manz recounts how a loving but pro-Nazi father and Hitler's spell-binding demagoguery moved him toward the fateful decision to join the Hitler Youth at age eleven, shortly before Hitler came to power.". "During World War II, Bruno Manz fought with the Luftwaffe, and later the German army, on the Arctic Ocean front against the Soviets. When he learned of the horrific Nazi crimes against humanity, he realized the enormity of the mistake he and fellow Germans had made in supporting Hitler. The utter devastation of his country, the guilt that Germans shared, and the deaths of so many people he knew changed his life forever. By plunging himself into academia, he escaped from the psychological and spiritual prison that had entrapped him for so many years. Then, in 1957, he left behind Germany as well when he emigrated to the United States as part of Project Paperclip, which brought German rocket scientists to work with Werner von Braun on the U.S. Army's ballistic missile program.". "A Mind in Prison, dedicated to the victims of the Nazis, is for anyone who seeks to understand how a civilized people could plunge into mass insanity."--BOOK JACKET.".
