Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Swing Kids is a 1993 movie set in Germany as Nazism is slowly growing. Most kids and teenagers are part of the Hitler Jugend. Some of those who aren't are "swing kids". Swing kids love British fashion, American dances and most of all, swing. Peter Müller is a swing kid with a passion for it. He and his friends, Thomas and Arvid, try to avoid Nazism and H.J., but after Peter is caught stealing a radio he is forced to join. Thomas joins with him for moral support, but Arvid won't hear of it and stays true to his resolve. While at first Peter and Thomas live by the motto that they're "HJ by day, Swing Kids by night," they slowly begin to get brainwashed, and they're forced to question everything they have and do believe, and must ultimately decide where their loyalties lie.This film was a major part of the Swing fad of the 1990s.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Becoming the Mask | |
| Swing Kids / int_44606d14 | comment |
Becoming the Mask: Thomas does this after joining the H.J. to offer Peter moral support, citing Peter would do the same for him. As the movie progresses, it is clear that Thomas is starting to be effectively brainwashed by the propoganda. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Swing Kids / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Arvid has committed suicide. Peter will likely die in a camp after being arrested (if he's lucky). Thomas seemed to acknowledge Peter but may fall back to being influenced by Nazi propoganda. Willi's had his father die when he was young and now his brother gets taken from him in front of his eyes (nevermind the effect on his mother). | |

Affably Evil | |
| Swing Kids / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Herr Knopp is rather charismatic and pressures Peter into joining the H.J. He doesn't exactly "persuade" him per se. Once Peter gets caught stealing the radio, it's that or go to a work camp. | |
