Name: Peter Von Derberg
Age: 28
Personality: 
Peter is a person who will do as he is told, most of the times being completely obedient to his superiors, except in times of emotional turmoil. However when a superior acts uppity towards him he doesn't react well, he believes that he is better then them, that he has given more then them and therefore when he carries out orders that his superiors wouldn't do, he is reluctant.
Background: 
Before the start of the war he use to live with his parents and disabled cousin, in a little village south of Saarbrücken by 20 miles or so. His family originated from another little village in the Bavarian alps, though had migrated to the western region at the end of the first world war, in case Germany ever became too unstable and they had to pack up and head France side. He had spent his childhood working fields and mines with his father, never having time for a formal education, only ever learning to read, write and count from his mother, who had been a shop clerk before marrying his father. At the start of the first world war, around the time he was 9, his father was drafted into the army, after a few days of him being at the front the family received a letter. Apparently his father had been killed on the front, the discription of how he died was vague, claiming that he was shot in the stomach (a pain Peter wouldn't realize until later). At the point the family got the letter, he found himself unable to cry, he had shed his tears when his father had left and now realized he had to be the man of the house, he had to provide. By the time he was 13, as the war was winding down, he was already in full time work, working jobs where ever he could find them, alongside men who had returned from the front and women who had taken the place of men during the war. 
During the 1920s as he started to mature into manhood, he found himself becoming more and more attached to his cousin, until the point he recognized it as love. His cousin, Lotte, a second cousin of Austrian origin, was a sufferer of  learning difficulties, otherwise summed up as: she was slow. Doctors claimed it was because she was born with only half a brain, though Peter really didn't see how this was possible because everyone, to his knowledge, had a whole brain. 
At the start of the World War 2 he managed to escape the first wave of drafts by claiming he had Scarlet fever but his block leader knew he was lying and so had him shipped off in December of '39. His first posting was in North Africa, he'd been there for one and a half years before receiving a discharge due to injuries, having been completely deafned in the left ear and partially in the right because of a shell explosion. However his time with his mother and beloved Lotte in Germany was short, he was almost immediately re-deployed with a platoon and he remains there to this day.
Rank: 
Obersoldat
Equipment: 
- Kar 98 rifle.
- Browning Hi-power 9mm (looted off a dead Brit during his time in north Africa).
- Model 24 grenade x2.
- Bedouin Dagger (traded his standard issue combat knife with a Bedouin for his knife).
- Standard Helmet.
- Standard Uniform (jacket removed and in bag, has rolled up sleeves).
- Mess Kit.
- Canteen.
- Bolt Cutters.
- Old Teddy bear. 
Other: 
- Before any large confrontations he takes heavy painkillers, the disadvantage of being almost deaf is you don't know where the danger is coming from and if you get hit, you still need to concentrate.
- When ever he receives letters from his beloved Lotte, he folds them neatly and stuffs them into the old Teddy bear that once belonged to her. If it were taken from him, he'd probably destroy the man who did.
