One American dollar could buy a German almost a week's worth of food, so while it looked cruel in the last part, it actually helped the general out quite a bit (Yes he has a name now, but I'll save that for later). And no, Alena and Gertrud don't know how their father got the money for food.
The <...> text means they're speaking German. It doesn't really matter in this strip, but later when people will both be speaking English and German it'll be nice to be able to tell who is speaking what.
Oh, that's heartbreaking. And I, personally think Alena did the right thing. But next time, she shouldn't SAY that she'll tell the teacher and just do it.
No, I suppose that puts her into the "not to be trusted" territory. But then again, so does abusing critters and throwing schoolbooks into the harbor. They don't deserve respect.
