| Plot: | In 1942, Friedrich Weimer's boxing skills get him an appointment to a National Political Academy (NaPolA) - high schools that produce Nazi elite. Over his father's objections, Friedrich enrolls, seeing this as his ticket out of factory life to university and a good salary. During his year in seventh column (fifth form), this innocence is altered as Friedrich encounters hazing, cruelty, death, and the Nazi code. His friendship with Albrecht, the ascetic son of the area's governor, is central to this education; a night in the forest hunting for escaped Russian POWs brings things to a head. |

Continuity: During Friedrich's glider flight, his helmet is securely strapped at the start but is shown unstrapped a few seconds later. He kept both hands on the glider's yoke. Revealing mistakes: At least one of the Napola boxers and one of the training officers have pierced ears. Very unlikely, this being set in Nazi Germany. |
Quotes

Christoph Schneider: Pull yourself together! Albrecht Stein: Pull myself together? Do you know what we just did? You shouldn't have shot! You shouldn't have shot! Tjaden: I didn't give the order. Your father said they had guns! Albrecht Stein: Why are you looking at me like that? Friedrich Weimer: I'm not looking at you. Albrecht Stein: I know what you're thinking. Don't look at me like that! Albrecht Stein: [reading from his essay] "As childish as it sounds, the winter time and the sight of freshly fallen snow always fill us with inexplicable joy. Perhaps because as children, we associated it with Christmas. I always imagine myself the hero who killed dragons, rescued virgins, and freed the world from evil. As we went out yesterday to find the prisoners, I felt like that little boy who wanted to save the world." Vogler: Albrecht, stop. Albrecht Stein: But as we returned, I understood that I am part of the evil that I wanted to save us from. Vogler: Albrecht, stop. Albrecht Stein: Shooting prisoners is wrong. They were not armed, as Governor Stein told us, to incite us. We didn't shoot men, only children. Vogler: Out! |
