 The former Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany changed his will with directions that he was not to be buried in

World War II on September 1, 1939, the army would have 102 divisions and 2,758,000 men.

the control of the Hitler Youth and its leader, Baldur von Schirach.
 The Nazi sponsored film Hans Westmar premiered in Berlin after substantial revision on the orders of
Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Originally adapted from the life story of Nazi martyr Horst Wessel,
the film was re-edited and the name of the title character was changed.
