[1]: Although the suspect's description matches that of a 20-30 year old, slender, 1.70m tall, blond-haired man, this profile does not precisely correspond to any historically documented serial attacker in Friedrichsfelde. In particular, this profile does not align with Paul Ogorzow, who carried out a series of violent crimes between August 1939 and 1940 in the area. Unlike the described suspect, Ogorzow was a railway worker, but there's no consensus on his age, hair color, or accent. Moreover, Ogorzow's victims didn't report any signs of physical injury on his person during the attacks.
