Answer:

This story is more powerful than a story of Hitler. A standover man is a person who tries to intimidate others to take their money. It is called extortion. Remember that his hair is like feathers, as Liesel says. That is why he draws himself as a bird.

Step-by-step explanation:

Max paints his story over the pages of Mein Kampl. Liesel literally saves Max by loving him and being his real friend. The Nazi's are hunting him. Who can he trust? He is forced into hiding.
