Max (Scorched Earth)

Max was a German soldier during the Second World War.

On the night of 4 July 1944, as the Germans were being pushed out of France by the Allies, Max was hiding in a forest near Rouen with two other surviving soldiers, Klaus and Jurgen. The former saw Max as "just a boy". Max was suffering from shock, although he denied this and claimed he was just cold, trying to warm up by the fire.

Nearby, a French Resistance fighter named Lucien knew the trio were in hiding and unleashed the Furio to flush them out. While his two comrades escaped to the river, Max was killed in the inferno which burned down the whole forest. (AUDIO: Scorched Earth)
