Okopenko's portrayal of a young boy during the Hitler years begins
at the end, with the collapse of the Nazi Reich, then works its way
back to 1939. Told from the child's perspective, it paints a vivid
picture of what it was like to grow up in a state where almost
everything was seen in terms of National Socialist ideology. The
basic mode of realistic narration is enriched with a wide variety
of stylistic devices, ranging from diary entries, school essays,
lists and dramatised dialogue to abrupt switches of perspective and
poetic evocations of mood. The inclusion of a large number of
authentic 'objects' -- for example, songs, jokes, posters and
slogans -- helps to give the reader the flavour of the period.
'Child Nazi' is about childhood and adolescence, but it is also
about childhood and adolescence at a time when even the most
personal thoughts and feelings were manipulated by the ruling
system to bind the rising generation to Nazism and its leaders.
