:23:16
The man, codename: the Needle.
:23:18
Also known as Henry Faber.
:23:20
He was born on May 26, 1900,
:23:23
at a village called Öln in West Prussia.
:23:28
At the age of 13 he went to
the Karlsruhe cadet school in Baden.

:23:33
Two years later, he was transferred to
the more prestigious Groß-Lichterfelde

:23:38
near Berlin.
:23:40
He already spoke fluent English because
his father, Baron von Müller-Guder,

:23:45
had worked in Washington
as a military attaché,

:23:48
and had sent his son
to private school there.

:23:51
But back in Germany,
the boy rebelled constantly

:23:55
and was often flogged for it.
:23:58
He passed his final exams
with extremely high marks.
