Hint:
-The German soldier was Hans Wolf.
-He was the leader of Fritz's soldiers.
-In the orchestra, Hans Wolf played cello and he was a German soldier too.

Complete answer:
Hans Wolf had never been to England or to Dorset. But he knew this because he had read about it in Thomas Hardy's favorite novel, Far From the Madding Crowd. The commander of the German troops was Hans Wolf. He had come from Dusseldorf. He played the cello in an ensemble before entering the Army. He was friendly and he loved soccer. Sports were a healthy way to settle disputes, he claimed.

His interest is sparked by the letter addressed to Connie, which he discovers on the roll top desk. He feels obliged to locate the lady to whom the letter is sent, after reading the letter. He takes a particular attempt to find her in an old-age home and to see her. He had Connie MacPherson, a caring mom. His death, though, took place as he never returned from the war and did not write any more Connie letters.
