Baldur von Schirach was the leader of Hitler Youth 1933-1940 and Gauleiter in Austria 1940-1945. Schirach wrote prayers that praised Hitler and he wrote a book explaining views on Hitler Youth movement, Revolution in Education. In late 1940 he joined the army and volunteered for service in France. Later during the war he pleaded for moderate treatment of the eastern European peoples and criticized conditions in which Jews were being deported. Baldur von Schirach was disfavored in 1943, but remained at his post. He surrendered in 1945 and put on trial at Nuremberg. He was found guilty on October 1, 1946 of crimes against humanity for his deportation of Viennese Jews. He was sentenced and served to 20 years imprisonment in Spandau Prison. After he got out of prison he considered it his duty to destroy any belief in the rebirth of Nazism and blamed himself before history for not having done more to prevent the concentration camps.
