Tiny

Obergefreiter Wolfgang Ewald Leo Helmuth Creutzfeldt, is one of the main characters in Sven Hassel's novels. He is a member of V Company's II platoon, commanded by the Old Man. Hamburger from the Reeperbahn; was a bicycling courier with a communist past; a giant of size and therefore a bully; more or less illiterate and not very smart, but still sneaky and deep down not as bad as he'd seem. Joined the Foreign Legion after the war.

He is referenced as Tiny, Little John, Little Brother, Lillebror, Pikkuveli, Petit Frere, Le Petit, according to different languages.

He is described as a seven foot tall gorilla-like ruffian, weighing 260lbs (16st 4oz) and his first words are "Here! Beer! Five glasses at once." He is, of course, beaten in his fight with the Legionnaire but manages to get his own back through various means. He initially only befriends Pluto, both being Hamburgers and both sharing a large size, but after Pluto is killed, he learns to like Porta and the Legionnaire and the rest of his comrades.

In Comrades Of War, Tiny tells the story of his time in prison Brückenkopf 3, Torgau where he had his arm broken in three places and his little toe torn off with pincers.

Tiny cannot read or write according to Assignment Gestapo. He has one ear missing plus a finger and a toe at various times. He joined the army at sixteen following advice from the 'holy men' who ran the school of correction where he seems to have spent most of his childhood. He was "marked down barmy by the Army psychopaths" in 1938 by order of Herr General der Kavallerie Knochenhauer, Commander of 10th Army Corps, Hamburg. He has an excellent knack of appearing to be completely stupid as and when it suits him.

Tiny ends up in Sven's company ('Return To The Eastern Front' Chapter 8 of Wheels Of Terror), spends his time quarrelling with everyone, and gets warnings from von Barring and threats from the Old Un.
