There was a similar scene in the film Europa, Europa which was based on the life of Salomon Perel the true story of a Jewish boy who escaped Germany for Poland after Kristallnacht, escaped to Soviet occupied Poland in September 1939, then sucessfully claimed to be Volksdeutsch after Barbarossa.
He was sent to a Hitler Youth school and survived the war.
Born of parents both recently and distantly American, I was once an activist and advocate for the socialist left. Nowadays, I am a defender of the "Responsibility to Protect" who stands for universal rights and liberty.

LOL I love these movies!
Actually one of the reasons why I loathe communism is because of the bad name it gave to atheism...
Thanks for the comments Andre and Jams, I agree with both of your assessments, and while I have not seen Europa, I will now plan to do so.
