Hanna Schmitz(Kate Winslet),
a tram conductor returning home, cleans him up and helps him return home.
When she was preparing for her role as Hanna Schmitz in The Reader, Kate put in the time to work
with a real dialect coach who had her speaking in a very specific German accent, that was intended to make the audience forget that she had an accent at all(because the dialogue is really supposed to be in German, not German-accented English).
