Along with [[Hartmann]], he is a young and relatively new addition to the crew, having not been present in [[My Country Calling]]. The two are anything but alike, with Schröder being fanatical in commitment and steadfast in terms of nerve. Almost all of his dialogue is laced with patriotic rhetoric and forced optimism, much to the annoyance of [[Kertz]]. He has no sympathy for fellow countrymen branded as traitors or deserters, and even calls out other members of the crew for defeatist comments. As such he despises Hartmann, seeing his reluctance to fight as a liability and expresses his contempt for him even after he is found dead. To him, surrender to the enemy is unthinkable and seems fully intent on fighting to the death. In spite of this, he considers himself a valuable member of the crew worthy of preservation over the "expendable" Hartmann. |

Müller takes his advice on several occasions, but eventually has a change of heart and rejects Schröder, who in turn slowly begins to oppose Müller. His loyalty to his commander and his loyalty to his commander's former ideals comes to a head in the final scene of the story. |
