Later, he can face and shoot ordinary people calmly and become a qualified soldier. Crisis, his transformation is more intuitive and brings us the erasure of human personality in war.

Maybe it is a more decent way in the play. Survival is everything.
Viktor, the persecuted person, is also a tangled body of contradictions. When facing the Russian army, he is a German, and when facing the Germans, he is a Jew who was sent to a concentration camp.
