Character Description:
Corporal Himmelstoss
I am Himmelstoss. Before the war, I was a post man. I loved my job but was enthusiastic for a new profession. Now I am Corporal Himmelstoss. I have power over these youngsters that have enlisted. I'm ready to get them in tip-top shape and prepared for battle. Kids these days don't know what it is to have respect, and I am ready to teach them that. They will learn to follow orders in a timely matter. If they try any funny business, they will be punished, just like Tjaden was for wetting the bed.
Now looking back at the war, I wish I had been more sympathetic. I am glad I helped carry Haie to a triage center when he was wounded. One of my better moments was doing this and offering soldiers extra food and delicacies when I was a cook. I wish I would have realized this earlier because I would have gained more respect this way than by pushing my power on others.
