As professional and organized. Too many shows portray SS officers as bullies rather than professional soldiers doing an important job.
Erik Dorf's character was well portrayed by MM. Organized professional, selfless, egoless. War is tough and he held his head high and did his duty.
Genocide was "an important job"???
As a matter of fact, the SS were NOT professional soldiers and were despised by the regular Army (the Wehrmacht) because they killed old people, women, and children -- people who were defenseless.
The SS pulled every possible string to avoid actual combat. Toward the end of the war, when Germany was being defeated on both the eastern and western fronts, did the SS men rush to enlist? No, they emptied the death camps, sent the inmates on forced marches away from the fighting, and went along to "guard" them. By then, of course, the inmates were little more than walking skeletons who posed no danger to anyone.
Evidently you are unaware that SS men were chosen specifically because of their sociopathic tendencies. A typical test of their cruelty was to give a candidate a puppy to raise and train, then months later order him to kill the dog. Any man who hesitated was drummed out of the SS.
Suesmith, you need to pray to God to remove the antisemitism from your soul.
The SS were heroes. In every sense of the word. The most noble humans that God has ever created. Perfection personified, in appearance, thought, word and deed.
Too much is made about the euthanasia projects on the eastern front. Not enough about the selflessness of the team and the units. Solid religious family men. Protection Europe and protecting the world. You owe them all that you are.
In the cruelty of war, these men stood out as angels.
Look up "troll" in the Urban Dictionary and you get the previous post.
share"The name of the whore who gave birth to you?"
"The name of the pimp who raped her?"
"All Jewish women are whores."
Yeah, those guys questioning Karl were the very picture of professional. Not at all cowardly, racist bullies and a bunch of preening little boys in men's bodies pumped up on patriotic gobbledygook while on a poisonous testosterone trip.
Oh. Wait. They were.
Try again.
That scene emphasizes everything wrong with them. Not only do they believe they're better than the men they're interrogating, but it fills them with such jolly glee they can barely contain themselves, smirking and giggling their way through every interview, and the speed and ferocity with which they dispense physical punishment to everyone who doesn't answer each question precisely to their liking, or who dares to talk back, speaks volumes about them as individuals. They're formerly powerless men who suddenly feel big and tough because they're wearing snazzy uniforms and have power over these other people. They aren't even trying to hide the fact it's fun for them to mock, belittle and abuse these Jewish men. The Allgemeine-SS were the least professional soldiers ever, and have a vastly undeserved reputation for being "elite."
I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?
