At the rally, von Schirach announces that 52,800 Hitler Youth and 5,000 League of German Girls have assembled in the stadium to hear Hitler's message.[3] The film concludes at the Landsberg prison where Hitler was incarcerated in 1924.[4]
A total of 40,000 metres of film footage was shot for the film, including idyllic scenes from all over Germany where the Hitler Youth begin their journeys – carrying their flags from the island of Rügen, from farmland in the Lüneburg Heath, from the Golzheim Heath near Düsseldorf, and from the Bavarian Forest.[2]
