A turma do último ano do Colégio Gordon deveria estar estudando a Segunda Guerra Mundial, mas os alunos parecem um tanto quanto céticos em relação ao nazismo. Afinal, parece impossível para eles que a juventude alemã tenha apoiado um regime com ideias tão deturpadas, que causou a morte de tantas pessoas. Mas Ben Ross, o professor de história da escola, parece ter a ideia perfeita para engajar a classe.
