Pretty much. The young nazi officer was portrayed as an awkward douchebag.
A sort of theme I picked up from the movie was that fighting on the side of something doesn't necessarily mean that one is fighting FOR that thing. The same idea comes across in the movie Stalingrad.
I wonder what it is about those critics that can't seem to differentiate between the young and very human men (sometimes just boys) plunged into the hell of a conflict and the ideologies on which those conflicts were based. Is a knownothing 18 year old pissing his pants in battle any less human or worthy of having his humanity recognized because of the tabs on his collar?
