Can someone help me translate/transliterate the name in the red frame? Probably a German/Austrian name. Thank you very much! Best Johanna

(This may be a version of Eisenkindler, which means something like, one who sets iron on fire).
12/15/2021 11:30 PM The text seems to come from part of an interview.
The first line is a question the second a reply.

I am *guessing* that the first two words in the question are:

"This Eisnenkindler" האייזנקידלר הזה

The response starts with "He was a simple soldier"

An upload of the full lines would confirm or refute my guesses.
