Helmuth - I think Helmuth was very brave during this event and all he wanted to do was get revenge on Hitler. Helmuth knew what he was doing before anybody else knew what was going to happen. Helmuth had stradegy smartness and technique to get by the guards and he wanted revenge no matter how bad the punishment was. He also knew how to back himself up, defend other and make it look like everything was his fault right from the beginning.
Hans- The Jewish man Helmuth saw getting beat up in the street by Nazi soldiers.
Gerhald-The Rottenfuhrer, who is somebody Helmuth used to wish for in his life, but his mind changes.
Mutti-The person who should almost always take Helmuth’s side, but doesn’t anymore because silence is easier than choosing sides.
Oma-Helmuth’s grandmother.
Opa-An older member of Helmuth’s family who thought Hitler was a lunatic to begin with, but goes along with the ideas now for safety reasons after the burning of the Reichsteg.
Hugo-One of Helmuth’s best friends from the Mormon church.
Brother Worbs- The Morman man from church who speaks his mind, regardless of the punishment.
Karl-One of Helmuth’s others best friends who agreed to be a detective with him and ended up having a scare with a Gestapo.
Rudi-Helmuth’s friend from school who was singled out for being Jewish.
Benno Selligman-Helmuth’s oldest brother who serves the Fatherland as a shipmaker.
Herr Selligman-Helmuth’s middle brother who is able to balance the ideas of church and government. He serves his country as a soldier because his church tells him he must follow the laws even though he doesn’t really believe in all that the Nazi regime stands for.
