Stege

Gefreiter/Unteroffizier Hugo Stege is a member of Sven Hassel's V Company, II platoon.

He is a byspectacled student and can speak Latin. He is regularly ridiculed by the others for being clever. He laughs in a gurgling and infectious way. He never swears and always washes his hands before eating. Upon promotion to Unteroffizier, he commands his own tank, but is killed shortly after.
