  2. He survived, though, and did his duty. Called himself a "pechvogel"; an ill-omened bird.

  3. I don't think I would label his end "survival". By then he was a corpse that still walked, one which death cruelly eluded. And the duty that he did do more than once turned out to be a disaster. "Pechvoegel" is an apt label.
