He regularly saves the others from harm and could be a hero on another team, that said his questioning of the Nazi ideology puts him lower and lower on the scale of the men whose lives he saves, and whom he is clearly better than in every way. The leader of the Germans is played by Eric Portman, and he does an incredible job as a materialistic atheist who actually thinks his inhumanity is Humanity. …

The leader of the Germans is played by Eric Portman, and he does an incredible job as a materialistic atheist who actually thinks his inhumanity is Humanity. He regularly saves the others from harm and could be a hero on another team, that said his questioning of the Nazi ideology puts him lower and lower on the scale of the men whose lives he saves, and whom he is clearly better than in every way. Third is the one German who actually has a morality and presents the best of the Germans.
