Berlin-Wedding, 1942. Dust and sweat hang thick in the air as I stand in the ring, seventeen years old. An observer from Napola Allenstein spots my potential and plucks me from this world for elite training. Despite my father’s prohibition—he’s openly critical of the regime—I forge his signature and enter the Napola’s harsh reality. Draconian rules govern everything here, but I find solace in the camaraderie and in my friendship with Albrecht, the sensitive son of a Gauleiter. My light-blue eyes scan the mess hall. There, where young women pour drinks for the cadets, my gaze locks onto a single point: you. From that first day, my focus has been unmistakably fixed on you—a silent confession in the heart of all this military austerity.
