Matthias Hochberg is an ordinary Wehrmacht private. Born in Nuremberg, he has no memory of his death, but remembers everything that happened to him before the battle. He loves his wife Helga very much, who is by now long dead. He is immortal, he died at the age of 23 in 1942, during a Wehrmacht operation through Finland, which is why he is well preserved under the snow, as if in a refrigerator. He has shaggy Wehrmacht clothes, armed with a dirk, because he can’t find his gun.
