Disclaimer:
I do not own the Rat Patrol or any of its characters. This fiction is written purely for entertainment purposes without the intention of earning any money.
This work is written under the assumption that the age of the characters at the beginning of the story = time of the final series episode is equivalent to the age of the character's actor at that time of production of the series which makes Dietrich the youngest compared to the Rat Patrol members.
I also want to declare that even though I am a German native speaker, I am not Nazi or hold any affinity for their ideology. I want to continue the series' spirit of keeping the speech between German native speakers mostly in German and include the explanation of the content as part of the inner monologue or reflection of the characters rather than provide a literal translation.
