Appearance
Schindel is a fawn boxer with natural/V-shaped ears and short fur. He's of short height; with a stocky, somewhat muscular body type; has hazel eyes; and has reddish-fawn fur with a black mask and black hair.
Schindel has a scar over the bridge of his nose, and a camp prisoner ID number tattooed inside his left forearm. His head is kept shaven while he's a prisoner in the labor camp. Before and after the war he typically wears trousers with suspenders, long-sleeve button-up shirts (often with the sleeves unbuttoned and partly rolled up), and a cap similar to a newsboy cap. During the war, as a prisoner in the labor camp, he wears a striped shirt, pants, and cap, with a green-and-yellow Judenstern on his left breast; as a kapo, he wears a plain brown coat over his striped clothes, with an armband denoting his status, and a cap similar to a newsboy cap, and carries a short, thick club. He's not tall but can be quite intimidating, with a typically hostile, aggressive demeanor; he's meek and subservient to the two commandants (Ernst Dannecker, Hasso Reinhardt) and first adjutant (Lars Franke) he serves, and on casually friendly terms with the second adjutant (Jan Delbrück).

Trivia
*Schindel wears a yellow and green star badge while imprisoned in the labor camp, denoting him as a Jew and a criminal (he accidentally kills a ghetto policeman while protecting his wife).
*He develops an odd sort of Stockholm syndrome relationship with Hasso Reinhardt, the commandant who takes Ernst Dannecker's place. Whereas Dannecker is cruel and abusive, Reinhardt is stern rather than malicious, and focuses on providing better living conditions for his prisoners (the better to provide reliable slave labor). He's especially lenient with Schindel, calling him "Herr Schindel," appointing him to run small errands, chatting at him, and affectionately placing Schindel's cap back on his head whenever he removes it in his presence; basically, he treats Schindel as a favored slave or pet. Schindel is so starved for kindness that he does anything Reinhardt asks, and refuses to leave his side even when the camp gate is opened. The Allied soldiers who liberate the remaining prisoners first suspect Schindel is an SS guard in disguise as they can't understand why a prisoner would remain behind with a Nazi. Schindel considers Reinhardt his friend even after he goes to prison for war crimes.
