Had the Russians captured a number of other Germans (perhaps with lower rank than our hero), and agreed to free them all if this guy killed himself?

Did the group of soldiers he was in kill a lot of women and children, and when they were recovered they were rewarded, and although he didnt kill any women or children he was still rewarded, and he felt bad for thos who died, so he killed himself?

(That was a long wrong answer)

In hopes that Kario's wrong, did the Russians "reprogram" him and feed him propaganda about what the Germans were doing, and he killed himself when he realized that it was all more or less true?

Has the Russians given him some kind of poison or disease that would result in a really painful death, causing him to want to die quicker and less painfully?

Instead of tossing the question out, why not tell us what the answer was? Or do you plan to reuse it another time?

Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that lost question!

For this one, I think that he sees the bird hopelessly out of reach on a high branch (him not having a ladder) and knows that his incredibly expensive bird has escaped from his clutches.

DarkFenix, maybe "bird" means "girl" in this case, and he sees his beloved up in a tree kissing some other guy, and realizes that his relationship with her, the most valuable thing in the world to him, is lost!

Anyways, Im back.... with the answer to the thrown out one (Taken right from the source)

'The German soldier and his small group had been surrounded by the Russian partisans and eventually only he and his younger brother were left alive. Knowing what terrible things the partisans did to captured Germans, he had used his last bullet to shoot his brother.'

And as for Kario's guess.... thats a yes
