Fritz Grade (often known simply as "The Chief") was the Chief Engineer aboard U-96, and also a second-in-command to Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock.
Downfall Parody Universe
In the Parody Universe, the Chief is U-96's resident antic dealer. When Werner plans an antic, it is the 1WO's job to find the equipment he needs.
He also runs a large antic shop with a wide variety of equipment, which is often visited by Werner and Captain Willenbrock. In "Captain Willenbrock tries to Improve the U-Boat Parodies", the Chief revealed that he was very bad at Map pointing, as his last effort at doing so somehow almost led U-96 into an alternate dimension.
Similarities to Speer
- Both work as antic dealers for their respective parodies' Master of Antics (Hermann Otto Fegelein and Lt. Werner, respectively).
- Both are good friends with their leaders.
Differences from Speer
- Albert Speer was a member of the Nazi party, something the Chief is far from being, although he is outranked by the 1WO, who is actually a Nazi.
- The Chief owns his own antic shop, whilst Speer acts more as a travelling salesman, keeping his stock in his car.
- Albert Speer was a real-life historical figure, whilst the Chief was a fictional character in Das Boot.
