Adolf Hitler (The Fall of Berlin)

After the Germans launched Operation Barbarossa, the Führer **Adolf Hitler** received the blessings of his allies, Spain, Turkey, the Vatican, Romania and Japan. He then watched a long column of Soviet slave-laborers marched through Berlin. Hitler then became furious when he heard that Moscow had not fallen yet.

Later he dismissed Walther von Brauchitsch from his office and offered the command of the army to Gerd von Rundstedt. But von Rundstedt refused, saying that Stalin is a great captain and Germany's defeat is certain. Hitler then ordered the attack on Stalingrad.

Hitler and the German leadership fell into despair and lose their grip on reality the closer the Soviets got to Berlin. Hitler ordered the flooding of the subway stations as the Soviets approached, drowning thousands of civilians. He then married Eva Braun and committed suicide. Hans Krebs then carried the news of Hitler's death to the Red Army and begged for a ceasefire.

Airport Control Officer

The Leutnant was a Luftwaffe officer and radio operator who worked in the control tower at the Oberhausen Airfield. He was ignorant of the goings-on at the Schloss Adler thanks to John Smith destroying the telephone lines. He thought nothing of clearing an apparent Luftwaffe cargo plane for landing, little suspecting its pilot was actually Wing Commander Cecil Carpenter. After the plane landed, a bus smashed through the front gate of Oberhausen. Its occupants shot at the guards and the driver, Smith, used its snow plow to cripple the German fighters by sideswiping them. The operator hit an alarm, and then tried to contact a Luftwaffe fighter squadron with the radio. Before he could, Morris Schaffer and Mary Ellison, under Smith's direction, fired on the control tower. The Leutnant was hit several times and killed.

They held off the Japanese for two days amid heavy enemy shelling from artillery and tanks.

During the battle Adnan identified Japanese soldiers who were attempting to infiltrate the Malay Regiment's base in disguise as Punjabi soldiers, who were marching four abreast (Japanese style) instead of three (British style).

He was later executed by the Germans. His real name is unknown as the SOE spies operated using aliases.
Actor

A group of commandos recruited from stateside prisons to use their special skills against the Germans in World War II. They had been promised a parole at the end of the war if they worked out (and if they lived). The alternative was an immediate return to prison; if they ran, they could expect execution for desertion. The four were: "**Actor**", a handsome, resonant-voiced con man; "Casino", a tough, wiry safe-cracker and mechanic; "Goniff", a slender, likable cat burglar; and "Chief", a rugged, somber American Indian who handled a switchblade like he was born to it. No real names were ever used, only their "monikers" or aliases. Led by West Pointer First Lt. Craig Garrison and headquartered in a secluded mansion in London, this slippery group ranged all over Europe in exploits that often took them behind enemy lines. Other recruits were sometimes brought in where special skills were required.

Foster, in Afrika Korps uniform, and Major Hugh Tarkington, the medical officer as his 'prisoner', gain access to the depot and meet Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. During a friendly dispute over philately between Rommel and Tarkington, Foster notices a map which indicates the location of the fuel depot.

They make excuses, leave, capture a tank, and blow up the fuel dump. They escape towards Tobruk, where they destroy a coastal battery. The prisoners are embarked in boats launched by attacking Royal Navy warships. However, Foster and Tarkington are captured by German soldiers.

All were ordered into the backs of trucks and taken away to a concentration camp.

At the camp his father stood up to Commandant Krieger on the first day. Krieger remembered this and later took his revenge by having the Rabbi's wife and two young daughters gassed, claiming they had typhus. Ariel learned this and was the one who told his father.

The Rabbi later tried to stop Ariel launching an escape attempt after he learned from Chana Abramowicz that it was a trap. Ariel didn't listen and was caught along with Shmuel.

Arnold Kanger

Corporal **"Arnold Kanger"** was the identity of a German Oberscharführer who disguised himself as an American in an effort to locate the American headquarters. He spoke excellent English and knew a lot of American slang because he'd lived in the United States for ten years. Following the outbreak of war, he returned to Germany to fight for his country. He was captured and spent several weeks in an Allied P.O.W. camp, before eventually escaping and returning to his own lines.

He pretended to have captured a German officer and asked Sergeant Saunders where their headquarters was. He was extremely committed to his role, up to and including killing other Germans while fighting in the Allied side. He considered himself a true survivor, and had little patience for his fellow German posing as "Lieutenant David E. Comstock," who considered him inhuman.

After their Jeep hit a mine and wounded the "captured" officer, Kanger and Comstock had to request an ambulance. During a firefight against a German patrol, Kanger shot and killed Comstock for making too many mistakes, after which he got the ambulance he'd requested. During the ride, the officer died, and Kanger killed the driver, Cooper. He stole Cooper's dog tags and attempted to reach the American headquarters, with Saunders in pursuit. He shot Saunders in the leg. He also killed another American soldier, Vito Condi, and stole his dog tags as well, and planned on turning the wounded Saunders over to an approaching German patrol.

However, as the patrol approached, Saunders threw a grenade at them. Kanger attempted to turn and kill him, but was shot by one of the surviving Germans.

## Notes

* When introducing himself to the German soldiers approaching him and Saunders, Kanger identifies himself as a Feldwebel with the SS. He should claim to be an Oberscharführer (the SS' equivalent of a Feldwebel). Excepting a simple script error, it's possible that since the soldiers Kanger was speaking to were Heer, he was using a rank they'd be more familiar with for ease of communication.
* He also gives his real name to the soldiers, but actor James Coburn's delivery makes it difficult to make out.
Archie Hall

In flying school, lazy Private **Archie Hall** somehow dominates everyone around him, fellow trainees, sergeants and officers alike, and manages to avoid doing any work. William "Bill" Bowers, a Hollywood screenwriter in civilian life, becomes his sidekick. An initially hostile, suspicious trio of privates, Sam Beacham, Russell Drexler and Frank Ostrow, are penalized for opposing him and eventually smarten up and become his pals as well. Archie exudes so much self-confidence that Master Sergeant Stanley Erlenheim becomes convinced that he is an undercover G-2 (counterintelligence) General. Erlenheim and his underling, Sergeant Malcolm Greenbriar, arrange it so that Archie and his buddies are given permanent passes and a personal jeep, so they can leave the training base whenever they please. Archie sees Cindy Hamilton every night, while "Bill" pairs off with Peggy Kramer. Archie also arranges for the three other privates to acquire gorgeous girlfriends as well.

As time goes by, "Bill" comes to suspect that Cindy is a Japanese spy, but he cannot get Archie to take it seriously (even though Cindy keeps giving him money in outsized old bills). It turns out that Cindy actually is a spy, but for American counterintelligence, despite the opposition of her guardian, Colonel Edwin Martin, the base commander. Sergeants Erlenheim and Greenbriar get into trouble when they break down the door of her apartment, thinking they will catch her in the act of reporting to the enemy, only to find her presenting her findings to Martin.

As the war winds down, requirements change and the trainees are given the choice of retraining to become either gunners or glider pilots. Archie and "Bill" opt for the latter, despite the supposedly high casualty rate, so the other three do the same, only to discover that Archie and "Bill" have gotten themselves safe jobs at the base. However, the war ends before any of them see combat.

Archie invites himself to spend a week with "Bill" in Hollywood. "Bill" is shown hard at work in his tiny office at a film studio; Archie has somehow become his boss, and has just been promoted to head of the studio. "Bill" jokes about seeing him in the White House. A later newspaper headline states that Governor Hall has decided to run for president.

Arthur Wilson (Dad's Army (2016))

Nevertheless, his suave, understated social superiority, public school education and handsome looks led to a certain amount of jealousy on Mainwaring's part, but Wilson was never particularly bothered by this. He would also subtly question Mainwaring's judgement by asking "Do you think that's wise, sir?" after Mainwaring had given an instruction.

Wilson lodged with Mrs Pike and her son Frank; and it is implied, though never explicitly stated, that he is Frank's father.

Anja Kovach

The story takes place in winter, during World War II, at an isolated, snowed-in area. This area is occupied by Germany but contested by partisans who have Russian backing.

One of the local partisans is **Anja Kovach**. Her entire family was executed in retaliation for the death of a single German. She survived and, eventually, joined the partisans. She has become renowned as a sniper. She has killed 58 men of the local German garrison, including the 12 snipers that Hauptmann Keller had sent to kill her. The German troops live in fear of her.

Unteroffizier Stephen Holmann is an expert sniper in the German army. Before the war he was a school teacher, he competed in the 1936 Olympics in the rifle marksmanship contest, where he won Gold, and he worked as a professional hunter. He gets reassigned from North Africa, and parachuted into the area, for a special assignment: to capture Anja Kovach, a renowned partisan sniper. He must not kill her, lest she become a martyr.

For several days, Stephen and Anja stalk each other through snow and woods. Eventually, Stephen wins: he manages to capture Anja, whilst she is occupied with signalling a Russian supply plane.

Simultaneously, a fierce battle erupts between Germans and partisans. The battle moves away, leaving Stephen and Anja alone, without supplies, and surrounded by dead bodies.

Stephen, with Anja his captive, is forced to find shelter and food, in hopes that the German forces will prevail and return. As days pass, Stephen and Anja's relationship evolves from adversarial to cooperative and they become lovers.

Subsequently, the battle returns to the area. Amidst flying bullets, Stephen returns Anja's rifle to her. They go in opposite directions but a Leutnant Eisgruber spots Anja and kills her. Stephen sees this, and kills Eisgruber. Alexei Soloviev notices, and kills Stephen in turn.

Archer Sloan

**Archer "Archie Sloan** is an officer of the U.S Navy.

The American submarine *Grayfish*, under Lieutenant Commander/Commander Barney Doyle, searches for the *Shinaru*, one of the Japanese aircraft carriers that led the attack on Pearl Harbor. Doyle receives word that the target has an escort, including a transport ship *Yoshida Maru* carrying his wife and child, who were captured in the Philippines.

As luck would have it, *Grayfish* finds the ships. Doyle's second in command, Lieutenant/Lieutenant Commander Archer Sloan tries to talk his friend out of risking the lives of his family, but Doyle proceeds with the attack. To their horror, their torpedoes sink the transport. The Japanese make no attempt to rescue the survivors, hoping to lure the sub to the surface. Doyle is forced to leave the prisoners to drown.

Doyle manages to follow the *Shinaru* into Tokyo Bay itself and tries again to sink his nemesis, but fails and barely escapes from Japanese destroyers. The *Grayfish* then returns to Pearl Harbor. There, Vice Admiral Setton wants to promote Doyle to a desk job, but his anguished second-in-command Sloan begs on behalf of his friend and superior officer for and gets one last chance at the *Shinaru*. Sloan turns down a command of his own to accompany him.

Doyle is assigned a quiet, out-of-the-way patrol area off the Alaskan coast, but fortune is with him. He encounters the *Shinaru* once more. The sub sustains some damage from a collision with a boom and has to launch its attack using sonar only. After the torpedoes are away, the sub is sent to the bottom by the *Shinaru's* escort with depth-charges. The crewmen are able to exit and use Momsen lungs to reach the surface, where they are rescued by a sister sub, who sinks the escort. When they are brought aboard, they are told that they have sunk the *Shinaru*.

Soon after, Anton escaped from the P.O.W camp and was on the run. He was about to escape on a train when Patty saw him and scuppered his plans. Rather than inform the authorities, Patty hid the young soldier in some abandoned rooms above the family's disused garage and brought him food. Anton showed Patty a warmth and respect that she never had from her cold family and the two became close friends.

Anton was almost exposed when he saw Patty's father beating her one-day and nobly ran out of hiding to protect her, but she shouted for him to go back before he was seen. However, Ruth, the family's black, middle-aged housekeeper saw Anton. She did not approve of Patty harboring him, but agreed to keep her secret and helped by giving Anton food. Before long, the FBI began conducting a thorough search of the town looking for Anton. When they called at the Bergens' home, Patty ran out to the garage to warn Anton that he must leave immediately or he would be caught. Anton fled from the garage after thanking Patty for her help and gave her a valuable ring that belonged to his grandfather. However, while trying to leave the town that night, the FBI found Anton and he was shot dead trying to escape.
