Rudolf Donitz

Rudolf Donitz was Hans Donitz's father and Werner Donitz's grandfather. He was the second-oldest of four brothers. 
Rudolf and his brothers (Walter, Joachim, and Friedrich) fought in separate branches of the Nazi army in WWII. Rudolf fought in Berlin as a member of the Waffen SS and surrendered to the Russians. He and Walter survived the war. 
Werner felt lingering shame for the fact that his grand-relatives were Nazis, and admitted to Pomson that was part of the reason he didn't feel worthy to propose to her. Pomson assured him that she didn't care what his ancestors did. (the Disease)
