Kopf hoch, Johannes! (literally translates to "Cheer up, John"), the 1941 Viktor de Kowa German World War II (WWII) Nazi Youth military juvenile family relationship melodrama (about a teenage boy who grows up in South America, but when his mother dies, he is sent to live with his father in Nazi Germany, and through joining the Nazi Youth Party, he becomes a better person and forms a close relationship with his father; the whole movie was simply propaganda to talk about how wonderful the Nazi party was, especially for young people!) starring Albrecht Schoenhals, Dorothea Wieck, Klaus Detlef Sierck (in the title role as Johannes), Gunnar Moller, Otto Gebuhr, Hans Zesch-Ballot, Renee Stobrawa, and Karl Dannemann. Note that this is a "conditional" movie. This refers to around 40 movies that were made in Germany between 1933 and 1945, during the time the Nazis were in power in Germany. These movies are considered to be propaganda movies, which glorify the Nazi regime and their ideals. Immediately after World War II, a list of over 100 movies that were made between 1933 and 1945 was created, and those movies were not allowed to be shown at any time in Germany or Austria. Over the next decade, around 60 of those movies were taken off the list so that they are allowed to be shown (but rarely are), and those movies are known as "forbidden movies", because even though they can now be shown, they could not be shown at all in the years right after World War II. The remaining 40 or so movies (including this one) are known as "conditional" movies, because they are still not allowed to be shown in Germany or Austria, even in the present day, with the sole exception being when they are shown in an educational context, like at a university, and a speaker talks before and after the movie. It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Also note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the 8 pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are 4 pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended).
