Personality

He showed great distress over the death of his friend Ivan, and disobeyed his superiors when they refused his request to retrieve his body; resulting in the death of his friend Jurgen.

Though he shows passion for his friends, this passion manifested itself in the form of recklessness resulting in comrades deaths.

The Female Titan arc
During the 57th expedition, Dieter, along with his friend Jurgen, argue with Erwin and Levi after they refuse their request to retrieve the body of their dead friend, Ivan. Erwin decides to abandon all the bodies they were unable to retrieve and list them as MIA. Dieter and Jurgen angrily act against this command and retrieve the body of their friend, and in doing so, lure several Titans to the Survey Corps position. When a Titan swings at him, Ivan's body falls off Dieter's horse and is lost.

Right after, Jurgen is grabbed off his horse and despite Dieter switching to his vertical maneuvering equipment in an attempt to save him, Jurgen is eaten right before Dieter is grabbed by a Titan. He is about to be eaten before Mikasa Ackerman kills it, saving him. Due to the Titans being drawn towards them, the Survey Corps are forced to dump bodies weighing down the carts in order to escape. After this incident, Levi confronts Dieter and hands him a Survey Corps badge saying it was Ivan's, causing Dieter to break down into tears. He is last seen on one of the carts returning to Wall Rose, holding the badge in his left hand with his head down.
