Siegfried Hartmann



Group Captain Siegfried Hartmann is a new character introduced in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away.

As the grandson of the late Erich Hartmann who idolized Manfred von Richthofen and was considered as one of the Coalition Air Force's most feared ace pilots, Siegfried was raised by his family to be dutiful, loyal, upstanding, and a hard worker. The Hartmann family placed a strong priority on looking out for each other, and fiercely opposed the betrayal of anyone in the family group; instead, any family member should put the rest of the family above himself and be willing to make sacrifices for them. An imposing figure, he had built up his physique through years of hard work as a farmer.

Additional values were forged into Siegfried during his time as a young squadron leader. Hartmann learned to value discipline, order, and responsibility. He dutifully devoted himself to his studies; Siegfried was always determined, at all times, to do his very best at whatever task he was assigned, whether he cared for it or not. When he graduated, he took responsibility for his men, building camaraderie with them and taking close care of them, just as he did with his family. He always maintained strict discipline and training, however, as he later did with his children. He considered himself a conscientious and involved commander and was as devoted to do right by them as he was to perform to his fullest in his duties.

At the age of 38, he has greeen eyes, black hair, and wears a customized black-colored uniform.
