The Hoheneck Gang (banned by the Allies-mostly Jewish ICD)
Die Bande vom Hoheneck (Original Title)
A group of Hitler Youth arrive in a village for a summer trip and face hostility from local village boys. The tension escalates when the youth group sets out in the middle of the night toward a local castle ruins ("Mühlenburg") to investigate rumors of an alleged ghost or haunting. Meanwhile, the local village boys are planning an ambush on the visiting youth group.

The movie promotes the “Volksgemeinschaft” (People’s Community) Ideal: The core conflict relies on local rural boys fighting the visiting city boys. By overcoming their differences to catch a real criminal threat, the two groups unite. This mirrors the National Socialist concept of Volksgemeinschaft—breaking down regional, class, or geographic divides to merge all German citizens into one monolithic, obedient collective.
