At the end of the summer of 1942, 17-year-old Frederick, who was born in a German worker's family, participated in a boxing match. He was favored by the instructors of the Führer Elite School for his outstanding performance. In spite of his father's firm opposition, he forged his father's signature and went to the military school alone. When Friedrich came to the elite school, he was challenged by his seniors. On the first day of training, roommate Greddon was discovered by the instructor due to bedwetting. He was fined to take off his pants and pee on the mattress in front of everyone. In addition to physical fitness classes, they were also instilled with militaristic ideas such as "survival of the fittest" and "elimination of Jews".
The reason why the instructor trains Friedrich separately is to allow him to represent the school in boxing matches. In school, Friedrich had a good friend named Albert. Albert likes literature and hates war. Although the two are of different origins, this does not prevent them from becoming best friends. One day, the school had a boxing match. Friedrich had already defeated his opponent in the final stage of the match, but under the yelling of the instructors and students, he still used heavy punches to knock his opponent to the ground. Albert didn't understand this behavior of Frederick.
The graduates of the military academy were organized into the eighth column and sent to the front. One night, Albert's father came to the school and asked the students to hunt down Russian prisoners of war. Since the students were told that the prisoners of war had weapons in their hands, they would shoot as soon as they found them. While bandaging a wounded prisoner of war, Albert saw that the prisoner of war was shot by his father with a gun. This incident touched both Albert and Friedrich. In training for the winter swimming, Albert chose to use suicide to resist this system. Albert's death also awakened Friedrich completely. Friedrich asked to issue an obituary for Albert in the school magazine, but was rejected by the principal on the grounds that Albert was not a sacrifice. Friedrich represented the school in a boxing match. Although he quickly took the initiative, Friedrich chose to give up and let his opponent beat him instead of resisting. In the end, he was knocked to the ground by his opponent
