Director Denis Ganscher won the German Short Film Award for his 8-minute short film "Wrong Journey" in 1996. In 2001, he filmed his first film "Girls on top" and achieved great results all over the world. And this "Nazi Military Academy" is his second film. The film won the Best Director Award at the Bavarian Film Festival and the Best Film Award in Viarelrio, Italy.
The film's star, Max Redmond, won Best Actor at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival for this film, and this is his second collaboration with Dennis. In this film, Max Redmond's performance is very relaxed, from an ignorant teenager to the final fully awakened role. Another star, Tom Sterling, also won Best New Actor in Bavaria.
Through a historical perspective, this film studies how those young students in World War II were recruited to that school and how they received the so-called elite education. The film shows the shock and awakening of teenagers after they were included in the Nazi system. In addition to showing the cruel side, it also deeply portrays the friendship between Friedrich and Albert
