The Scrawny Soldier- Official Looking man that didn’t know what to do with Bruno


The three new maids and the old man who looked very unhappy. We can only guess that these are Jews that were set aside to assist the family. These is also a Nazi soldier who must be working for Father. When Bruno looked out the window he saw the kids in it. Bruno has no idea what it is he just doesn’t like the look of it.  Bruno doesn’t have the best relationship with Gretel, he thinks she is boring and bland, but he respects her and is almost afraid of her. Bruno really has no idea what is going on, he doesn’t know what the concentration camp is and he can’t say Auschwitz so he says Out-With instead. I don’t think he realizes how long they will be at the house either, he doesn't realize what his dad does nor why they have to move
