Thorn: Do you want to say how much . . . ?
Leif: How much I would cost now? I don’t know. I don’t look. The original debt that I went into servitude to pay off was fifty-two point four million marks.
Thorn: Do you want to say why?
Leif: No, please.
Thorn: Okay.

Yep, his parents fought the government.
And it seems the government won.
I know 5hat was my original thought, that I posted, anyway. Can’t remember if I’d thought anything else to myself before that. :-/
Yeah, sucks to be revolutionaries with family sometimes. AND, I cannot for the LIFE of me think of a more compelling reason (depending on government etc) to BECOME a revolutionary. Kids. Willing to risk all for them. But, sometimes, that “All” includes the kids….

Either his parents were HUGE gamblers, or they were punished for treason. I can’t think of anything else that would leave the family in THAT big a debt.
