Ryu My interpretation is that the Commandant knew what happened. He saw his son's clothes, he saw the hole in the fence, and he could piece everything together (which was why I personally think he became so overwhelmed with grief- because he did this- he was responsible for his own son's death).

Hailey I personally think that Bruno's father thought he ran away. This is a very good question to ask, and I think that after the book ended, maybe his father saw a body that looked suspicious. That is a very good question.
