Character Name: Heydrich Hoffmann
Nationality: German
What Army will Your Character Serve Beneath?
Germany or Italy or Japan: Germany - Fallshirmjaeger
Character History: Heydrich Hoffmann was born on 9 July 1920 in Berlin, the glorious capital of the 3rd Reich. He lived through the two depressions of post-Great War Germany. He even lived of dog biscuits for a month during the winter of 1925.
Heydrich’s parents voted Hitler into office in 1933 in hopes of a socialist economy that would help the country. They lived and breathed the ideology of Adolf Hitler. Consequently, Heydrich was enrolled in the Hitler Jugend and was a member of it until he joined the Luftwaffe when he was eighteen. He did apply for the Waffen SS, but was turned down. He then enrolled in the officer’s school and trained as a Fallschirmjaeger, the Luftwaffe elite infantry.
Upon his commission as a Lieutenant, Heydrich and his Fallschirmjaeger division were sent to many areas. They were part of the invasion of Denmark and Norway. The young Lieutenant went to battle for the first time in Norway.
Military Rank: Lieutenant, 2nd. (Leutnant)
Scenario: You are in the middle of two American Browning Automatic Rifles and have nothing but a grenade and bolt action rifle. There are 4 soldiers 1 in each nest and one one each side of you with Thompson Sub-Machine guns. What would your character do? How would he respond?
Heydrich looked around the hole he was in. The machine-gunners thought they had hit him. Heydrich’s rifle was empty so he, as quietly as possible, pulled the bolt back, which gave the usual click that sounded far to loud for Heydrich’s comfort. He pulled out the stripper clip and pushed five rounds into the rifle. Then pushed the bolt forwards and locked it.
Heydrich then pulled out his Stielgranat and unscrewed the cap on the end. He crawled up to the edge of the mortar hole and found the gun nest. He pulled the porcelain ball on the grenade and cooked it; he counted under his breath, “Eins, zwei, drei, vier, jetzt.” He threw the grenade; it landed directly in the nest and exploded.
The two other soldiers were distracted now and Heydrich popped his head over the edge of the hole and brought his iron sights on the sub-machine-gunner. He pulled the steel trigger and felt the butt kick into his shoulder as the bullet killed the allied soldier in front of him. He quickly bolted a new bullet into the action of the rifle and picked off the other sub-machine-gunner, then got back in the hole.
Heydrich waited in the hole for a few more minutes, he looked over the edge of the hole and saw the BAR-gunner. Heydrich knew there was no way he could run past the allied soldier without being seen. He would have to shoot the man. Suddenly, the man turned and started shooting in Heydrich’s direction. Heydrich knew he had only twenty rounds to a magazine; he waited until the American had run out before he stood up with his rifle pointed directly at the American.
In his limited English, Heydrich said, “American, put the gun down and put your hands on your head. You are a prisoner-of-war of the 3rd Reich.” The American did as he was told and put his rifle down. Heydrich then marched the American soldier to HQ.
