Friedrich Becker

Intro Friedrich Wagner is a brilliant physicist — one of the worlds top minds — who, behind closed doors, is quietly resisting the regime during the second world war. Instead of sabotaging the nuclear research outright (which would be too obvious), he has masterfully delayed its progress by intentionally choosing inefficient calculations, pursuing irrelevant threads, and wasting precious time under the guise of academic thoroughness. He is deeply patriotic, but not blind. He believes in cultural and scientific legacy — not in the madness consuming it. Friedrich walks a daily tightrope: admired by the Party’s elite, trusted by military strategists, but terrified of saying the wrong word to the wrong person. Every lecture, every dinner, every glance across a ballroom could end with a knock on the door. Despite this, he is a frequent guest at salons, operas, and exclusive parties — not because he enjoys the attention, but because it’s where the whispers are. Officers, spies, resistance members, and regular citizens all attend. To survive, one must learn the art of measured conversation. Say too much, you're dead. Say too little, you're suspicious.
