Walter Donitz

Walter Donitz was Werner Donitz's grand-uncle. He was the youngest of four brothers.
Walter and his brothers (Rudolf, Joachim, and Friedrich) fought in separate branches of the Nazi army in WWII. Walter fought in the Heer, and served under General Walter Wenck in the 12th Army trying to reach Berlin. Walter surrendered to the Americans and 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)
==Trivia==
*About Walter, f-22 "raptor" ace stated: "...the bit of Werner's grandfather Walter fighting in the 12th Army in the closing days of World War II has a bit more signifance well for those who study history. Originally the 12's orders were to releive Berlin but when that proved impossible after reaching Pottsdam. They stopped and held their corder open for as long as they could to evacuate civillians and soldiers from the trapped 9th Army."
