Fan Casting Alfred Frick in Salt to the Sea

One of the four main characters, Alfred Frick is an unpopular German sailor assigned to the port of Gotenhafen. He is selfish and his hands are covered in crusty, red blisters. He subscribes to Hitler’s racist ideology and is very concerned with proving that he is a hero. Throughout the novel, he composes letters to his former neighbor and love interest, Hannelore, whom he himself reported to the Nazis for being Jewish. He is most likely in his late teens.
