Anke, upset upon learning this, tells Wenger to stop the experiment immediately. Wenger finally asks Tim to leave his house, only to find the next morning that Tim had slept outside on his doorstep. Although he declines his offer, Wenger still invites Tim in for dinner this puts further strain on his already tense relationship with his wife, Anke, who thinks his experiment has gone too far. Tim later shows up at Wenger's house, offering to be his bodyguard. Tim explains to his shocked friends that the pistol only fires blanks. When Tim and his group of new friends are confronted by a group of angry punks (including those that Tim faced previously), Tim pulls a Walther PP pistol, causing them to back down.

Wenger suggests a uniform of a white shirt and jeans, to remove class distinction and further unite the group. Wenger shows his students the effect of marching together in the same rhythm, motivating them by suggesting that they are superior to the anarchy class, which is below them. When speaking, they must stand and give short, direct answers. He begins by demanding that all students address him as "Herr Wenger", as opposed to Rainer, and places students with poor grades beside students with good grades - purportedly so they can learn from one another and become better as a whole. When his students, the third generation after the Second World War, do not believe that a dictatorship could be established in modern Germany, he starts an experiment to demonstrate how easily the masses can be manipulated. ![]() The movie was successful in German cinemas, and 2.3 million people watched it in the first ten weeks after its release.Ī history teacher, Rainer Wenger, is forced to teach a class on autocracy, despite being an anarchist and wanting to teach the class on anarchy.
