Frau Koch was a fourth-grade teacher in Berlin. Francesca Gimpel was in her class. Koch was known universally as The Beast, because of her strict teaching methods, quick use of the paddle, and general devotion to Nazism. Koch spoke in support of Konrad Jahnke's article, Enough is Enough, a rebuttal to Führer Heinz Buckliger's call for reforms. However, she also followed the Nazi philosophy of the infallibility of the Führer, and so gave contradictory lessons in her class.
