Birth Place: New Berlin in the German Territory of America. (Former Rhode Island)
Code Named: der Unterdrucker / The Oppressor
Specialty: Panzer Hi/SS Behalter-Kommandant / Tank Commander
Franz Rudel is a natural born tank commander. Son of the famous Hans-Ulrich Rudel, Franz strives to be as great as his father. In the Battles of the Atlantic Coast, Hans-Ulrich Rudel showed that he was just as great as the greatest tank general, Erwin Rommel, with one exception...Hans-Ulrich was also a Stukka Ace. When Franz was born, the country once known as the United States of America had fallen to Germany, and a new order was established. Under the new rule, America was just like any other German territory, and faced the same laws. Internment Camps were being created all the time to handle the numbers of "unwanted peoples". There was never a stop to what is considered the Second World War with the constant minor attacks by rebels through out the former US states. As such, new urban fighting tanks were needed that could also handle open areas. Thus was created the Panzer Hochleistungsmotor Schutzstaffel...the Panzer Hi/SS. This new fast track tank was expertly used by the tank group commanded by SS officers and has kept the resistance to a minimum. This was the only place the son of one of the Father Land's greatest Panzer and Stukka commanders, and Franz was placed into his position by political pull. Unlike most political appointments, Franz was at home in the driver's seat of a Hi/SS, and quickly made a name for himself as heir to his father's legend, thus earning him the name der Unterdrucker / The Oppressor.
In recent months, rebel activity has increased and Franz has shown that he is an oppressor in keeping the 3rd Reich's rule from the hands of these rebels. The attacks have been gaining strength with each attack and each time the symbol of a cobra is left with each terrorist attack on a government building or operation. Since the Panzer Hi/SS is the fastest and most deadly Panzer in service, Franz Rudel--der Unterdrucker / The Oppressor- is called to stop this COBRA rebellion any way he can.
From the files of the SS: "Franz Rudel is probably the youngest Behalter-Kommandant ever, but he is driven by the ideals our Feurer. If there is anyone to take down COBRA, it is der Unterdrucker"
