That kid is living in Germany, in 1898, and looks to be about 7 years old. That means in his 40s, he's gonna be a nazi.

    Here's the Wikipedia article on that kid:

    It seems like when he finally joined the nazi-party in 1940, he didn't do it out of passion, but to be permitted to keep on working in film making.
