Lise Hohenstein

Nationality: East German Affiliation: Nationale Volksarmee (666th TSF Squadron Schwarzesmarken) Rank: Leutnant (2nd Lt.) TSF: MiG-21 Balalaika

Theodor Eberbach's step-sister, Lise Hohenstein was thought to have been killed by the Stasi 3 years ago when their family attempted to defect to West Germany and were all captured or killed. Now assigned to the 666th TSF Squadron as reinforcement to make up for an injured pilot after years as a TSF pilot in Eastern Europe, Lise finally found her cherished brother after three years of searching.

Lise Hohenstein grew up with parents and playwrights Thomas and Marlene in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin. Like those two, Lise wanted to work in theater to bring smiles and dreams to people in a world she considered dark. A talented actress, her career looked like a sure thing until police pressure forced her circle to be disbanded. Like her parents, she staged plays viewed as anti-nationalist and became ostracized for it.
