A Journey from Germany 3

Chapter 1

This is a fanfiction, the original author is Anne Blankman

I would like to mention that I'm not Jewish, so information is mainly from the internet. I might put notes from the original story to help with information, along with my previous parts.

The story is currently in 1936

Main Characters:

Gretchen Müller/Whitestone:
Gretchen is 22 and has known Adolf Hitler since she was 4/5, and after her father died, he became a father figure. However, when she was 17 she met a reporter named Daniel Cohen. She learnt that her 'Uncle Dolf' (Adolf Hitler) had killed her father. As a result when she stood up to Hitler he ordered her and her brother; Reinhard, death. Reinhard was a year older and worked in the SA before he got shot in front of Gretchen, he had also abused Gretchen mentally and physically, he was diagnosed as a psychopath.

She and Daniel are engaged and got engaged on September 6th 1934
Gretchen was then adopted by Alfred Whitestone and his family. She wishes to become a psychoanalyst after 8 years of wanting to be a doctor/physician.

Goes to Queen Mary's University of London
Gretchen had short wavy honey blonde hair that goes to her shoulders. She has navy blue eyes, pale colouring and is about 5'8
For reference, her birthday is 18/07/1914 (22)
Fake Birthday is 21/02/1915 (21)

Family:
Father- Klaus Müller (real) Alfred Whitestone (adoptive)

Daniel Cohen/Schröder:
Daniel is a Jewish reporter from a Jewish family, currently works at the Times. He is 23 and had previously wanted to be a physicist until (roughly) 1930 or 1929. He worked at Munich Post and was investigating Herr Klaus Müller's (Gretchen's father) death. Eventually when Gretchen and Daniel left Germany on September 18th 1931, they got into a street fight and Daniel's left arm had gotten permanent nerve damage.

He has brown hair; he also has brown eyes rimmed with gold. He has olive-tanned skin and is about 6'0 (A few inches taller than Gretchen)
Daniel ends up having to change his name, we don't know what it is, so I changed it to Schröder; if I find out what he changes his name to, I'll change it.

We don't know about his birthday and I've reached some problems with it, so for the book's sake of the story, his birthday is 2/08/1913 (23)
Fake birthday is 2/08/1914 (22)

Last time:

October 11th, 1936

Daniel had a sheepish grin, "We've talked, but at the end of the day it's up to Gretchen, she'll be the one who's pregnant, giving birth, and probably look after the child, or children more often," Daniel said, more questioning at the end. I nodded, that is normally the case, the mother looks after the children, although it sounded like Daniel was planning to help raise the children.

I love the man next to me

Now:

December 7th, 1936

I returned home from my part-time job at Caravel where I work as a waitress, which is only a minute or two walk away from our home.

I started to work on homework before Daniel came in, looking almost worried, "Daniel?" I asked as he sat next to me.
Daniel turned to me, "Gretl, were you ever part of The League of German Girls/Maidens?" he asked.
He called me Gretl... He doesn't know that Herr Hitler, my family and friends would call me that in Germany. I'll tell him later.
