The exact year is not given, but a German soldier implies when he's speaking with Father that the time period is after 1942.
The father, Ralf, is based on Rudolf Höss, the first commandant of Auschwitz. Still, the book is fictional with some historical points.
In the beginning of the novel, a soldier implies it was set during 1942.
On May 1, 1940, Höss became the commandant at Auschwitz.
In June 1941, he started the gassing.
The book says "a year later after moving", therefore, it in 1942, Höss wife found out about the gas chambers. (fact)
It also states months (years?) after the fictional Bruno dies, The Last Chapter states Höss was captured, and then was later hanged. (the book never mentions this)
The beginning of the book is set in Berlin, Germany; and the rest (majority) is Auschwitz.
ALSO, it states Bruno and Shmuel are 9 and their birthday was in 1934, making the year around 1942/1943; depending on if they have had their birthday.
