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.
:24:01
In the '20s, the Needle was a cadet
at the war school in Metz,
:24:05
and Wilhelm Canaris befriended him.
:24:08
In '31, Hitler visited the family estate
and met him.
:24:12
In '33, Hitler came to power.
The Needle was made a captain
:24:15
and sent to Berlin for unspecified duties.
:24:19
He had an affair with a German actress.
He never married.
:24:23
He made no close friends.
:24:25
And in '38, the Needle disappeared.
:24:35
God.
