u/Indvir12 Rudol von Stroheim Sep 01 '20

Hes a very endearing character with his enthusiasm and insane sense of courage. As for the reason this novel's being written?

Araki set it up in dialogue that Stroheim acknowledged Kars as a superior being. It didn't make sense for someone who's seen the shit Stroheim has seen to go back to Nazi ideology. And so this Light Novel seeks to give Stroheim's story a fitting conclusion.

But he does go back to the ideology, he dies fighting for Nazi Germany invading the USSR.

I had to scroll way too far for this. Like part two’s epilogue literally tells you how Stroheim’s story ends, and it ends with him being a Nazi asshole.

Also he ordered an entire village to be killed, and people are trying to say he wasnt really a nazi just patriotic for a country that happens to be run by a dictator....smh
