Hitler Youth Quex (German: Hitlerjunge Quex) is a 1932 Nazi propaganda novel based on the life of Herbert “Quex” Norkus. The 1933 movie Hitlerjunge Quex: Ein Film vom Opfergeist der deutschen Jugend was based on it and was described by Joseph Goebbels as the "first large-scale" transmission of Nazi ideology using the medium of cinema. Both the book and the movie, like S.A.-Mann Brand and Hans Westmar, both released the same year, fictionalized and glorified death in the service of the Nazi party and Hitler.
