Looking for the name of a WWII German movie

Hi chaps

I need to know the name of a movie which was released in the early 2000s. It's in German and set in a military academy during the Nazi era. The plot involves a boy who befriends the son of the academy director, a senior SS officer. The director wants his son to be the embodiment of the Nazi ideal of physical perfection, but he is weak, and ends up drowing in a lake while trying to swim under the ice. His friend ends up being blamed for his death and is expelled from the academy. As you can imagine, a very serious movie!

Ring a bell?

Cheers. Doug

I bought a copy from HK and it was categorized as "homosexual"! Yeah, there was a reference or two but it surely didn't earn or deserve a "homosexual" categorization.

  We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
