Name: Karl von Güno
Age: 45

Personality: 
Karl never really identified with the whole Nazi idea and with those that like him forfeit the ideals of Hitler, he loves to make the joke that when an Austrian fails to enter the arts he takes the easy route and becomes a military strongman in the north. Of course, he has a dislike of the Jews for the same reasons as Hitler, the fact that they are bankers above all, but still his opinion on the subject is that they should just be bared to enter education, politics and banking as to prevent their influence. Above all however, he is staunchly catholic in saying that 'Jewish bankers wouldn't be a problem if Germans didn't meddle with usury in the first place'.

Otherwise some consider him as a weirdo with some issue due to his habit of trying to make himself feel at home where he is. He calls it an habit from the trenches and so he likes to give the floor a broom sweep, find a rug, a few chairs and a good book, a tidy little living room in the middle of the ruins of the battlefield, even add a potted plant or two if possible. He looks at the civilians more like neighbors rather than enemies, considering that this isn't a war between Germans and Russians, but rather between National Socialists and Communists, the people around them only incidentally being on the communist side. Still, on the same logic he doesn't hesitate to put a bullet in the head of Russian Commissars as even if he doesn't consider himself a Nazi, he'd rather live under a Fascist rather than a Communist state.

Background: 
Son of a minor Freiherr (Baron) in Austria-Hungary, he enlisted as soon as he could in the Austrian army to fight for Emperor and Country. At first he still had some kind of romanticized view of war but was quickly brought back to reality as the fight against Russia went on. He found himself in a low combat environment with a lot of waiting going on and he was, he admits it, unworthy of the rank his nobility gave him as a sergeant. In early 1917 he was captured by the Tsarist forces and had the luck to be in one of the best prisoner camp around rather than in Siberia building railways. He also had the luck to find himself in the custody of an officer who like him, was of noble birth and had a very chivalrous view of the war, although one who had never seen enough fighting to remove this delusions. 

This was where he met his future wife in the form of the daughter of this noble officer. As we know however that year was where Russia would turn communist and the commander of the PoW camp Karl was in was wary of a mutiny and so decided to allow Karl freedom if he would escort the younger or female members of his family in a monarchist territory until things calmed down. They never did. Still, he found himself back in Austria and without much concern, placed the family of his benefactor under 'House arrest' in his own home, going back to the front with a medal for his 'Valiant escape' (He still considers himself worthy of that honor, if only for the fact that he actually went back to the army after he was freed.) but not for long, the armistice ending the war less than a year later. Still, he had a taste of the real war on the Western front and became an advocate for Austrian neutrality immediately after.

Still things were not perfect, the Austrian Empire was dismembered and it wasn't good to be an Austrian in Yugoslavia, so he moved to Vienna and joined the monarchist faction immediately when the Republic was proclaimed. His reactionary fervor however died down with the years as he married and had many children with his dear Veronika. He manages to weather the economical crisis quite well with the old Swiss bank accounts of his and his wife's family. When the war began, he actually managed to shield himself and his children (Well, most, his eldest was really in the whole Reich thing and got himself killed in Africa) for quite some time by playing the 'Race Traitor' card on himself and his child who were no pure Aryan due to their mother being a Slavic Mongrel (Something he finds hilarious since he rarely sees anyone with more Aryan and blonde features such as her).

Still, this only went so far as to protect his Children, he himself was still 100% Germanic and was called to arms. He made arrangements for his family to move in the house of one of his cousins in the Austrian Alps to protect them from the constant bombardments in Vienna and joined without trying to dodge the draft, not wanting to attract more attention than needed on himself and his family.
