your character should be grown up when war began. So you can search on following website for all German surnames you may need in your book. They start in 1920 e.g. with Rudolf, Rolf Richard...

Rolf or Rudolf (Rudi) are all that I can think of. I worked with the Luftwaffe for
seven years. I know a lot of words and terms you could use . I know a lot about
the present day Luftwaffe...German names for ranks, etc. military courtesy. You
might contact me at carlislehurley9@gmail.com if you would like my help as you write.
I met the CG of the Luftwaffe, Johannes Steinhof who had his face burned badly
WW2 when his jet failed to take off at Munich, and other Luftwaffe vets.
