Adolph Finn Wilhem Hiedler Eirmensch von Ludwigsberg (If you want to see the meaning behind why I chose this name go down below)

BACKSTORY (I honestly making this up as I type lol)

Born in 1912 in the town of Ludwigsberg, Germany, Hiedler-Eirmensch had always been a shy individual, he graduated out of high school right before the Great Depression hits Germany. He found it hard to get a job, being from a rich family he used whats left of his money to go into college to study history, military engineering, and medicine in 1934, he graduated in Early 1938. Hiedler-Eirmensch joined the Nazi party in Late 1938, and soon the Army in 1940. He participated as a Combat Medic in the battle of Stalingrad, he escaped along with 21 others shortly after the Soviets closed the gap in December 1942. After a long walk back, he arrived in Kiev (along with 16 others he had been with, the other 5 died along the way as they were being chased by the Soviets) in January 9th 1943. He was later promoted to Lance Corporal to lead the rest of the survivors before moving along to Leutnant Assistenzarzt (2nd Lieutenant) by late 1943 of the 719 Infanterie Division.

by 1944, he was given command of the newly armed Pionier-Bataillon 720 for his military engineering, from the 720th Infanterie Division, which consisted of 6 other Batallions, it was formed in Western Ukraine and mainly consisted of a mix of conscripted Carpathians, Germans, Hungarians as ordered by Hermann Fegelein. After the commander was killed in the Battle of Narva (1944) in Early March 1944, Hiedler-Eirmensch was promoted to commander of the 720th Infantry Division. In Late March 1944, Hiedler-Eirmensch was given orders to move his unit to Danzig, however without much vehicle options, most of the Division was forced to use unused Tricycles from an abandoned factory. After absorbing the volunteers and reserves, with permission, the 720th was renamed to "720th Volksgrenadier Infantry Division". It's nickname was used by all as "Tricycle Division". By the time of the Race to Berlin he is stationed in Danzig.

Hiedler Eirmensch is the Last Name.

Adolph Finn are both First names

and Wilhelm is the Middle name

Here is how I got them name (this is used to promote people to think of the meaning behind names I made up:

LAST NAME: Hiedler is actually the origin of the last name "Hitler", so technically Hiedler-Eirmensch is a distant cousin of Hitler, though Hitler had many cousins. Eirmensch is actually two things. I got "Eir" from the Old Norse Goddess "Eir" which is known for Mercy and Clemency. Mensch is German for Men or something. So technically it can be "Man of Mercy" or "the Shy Man" or "the Medicine Man", which reflects his character of being Shy, but also his history of helping soldiers as a medic.

FIRST NAME: Adolph was actually a play on the combination of Rudolph and Adolf. While I used Finn because of my sympathy for "Finn of Frisia " a character from the movie Beowulf.

MIDDLE NAME: Although Wilhelm is generic name, i actually put the name in there in honor of a German soldier in the movie Inglorious Bastards I felt bad for him and gave his name to this character.
