Secret Projects and Experiments
Franz Bonaparta was one of the main leaders of a plan to train the smartest children to fight against West Germany during the Cold War. Johan Liebert and Anna Liebert were born as part of this plan. Franz also used his own picture books in “reading sessions” where he tried to change the children’s personalities.
The Origin of “The Nameless Monster”
One of Franz’s books, “The Nameless Monster,” written under the name Emil Scherbe, played a big part in why Johan Liebert became so dangerous and wanted to erase everyone who knew him.
The Reading Sessions
Franz’s methods of controlling and changing children spread to other places in East Germany, like the 511 Kinderheim, where more children were hurt by his ideas.
Change of Heart and Tragedy
While working on this project, Franz fell in love with Johan’s and Anna’s mother. This changed his mind. At a party in the “Red Rose Mansion” to celebrate the project, he poisoned all the people involved to stop them. He helped Anna escape.
Hiding After the Wall Fell
Right before the Berlin Wall fell, Franz ran away to West Germany. He hid in a hotel in Ruhenheim, the home of his ancestors. There, he lived quietly, often drawing pictures of Johan and Anna.
The Final Confrontation
In the end, Franz tried to stop Johan by shooting him. However, Roberto shot and killed Franz during this final moment.
