 FRANZISKA KELLMAN,
Oberleutnant, age 30
Real Name: Anne-Kathrin Hoeck, Hauptmann, age 29
Appearance: Your family made its money in dyes,
enough so you could travel, including visiting relatives in
the USA. You would spend summers in the Hamptons,
picking up an accent that would annoy your tutors at fin-
ishing school. When Hitler came to power you were not a
supporter of the Nazis, a preference that you have learned
to hide in the last ten years. Your disgust has grown and
grown and in recent years; you even harboured those that
Hitler and all too many of his cronies would have made
disappear. While your family’s money is enough to ensure
that you could live a life without the need to work, you
have to be seen to be part of society and a respectable
Nazi. So, you enlisted as a nurse in an auxiliary unit. Your
respectability has bolstered your rise in rank.
Schellenberg’s Promise: Schellenberg knows that you
have been harbouring Jews and has promised not to
inform the authorities.
Cover: You have been assigned to ensure the health of
any prisoners in the forthcoming offensive.
