Is it really just showing his evil side?

I have read a lot of film reviews, but only one-sided evaluation of the protagonist's loss of humanity due to a set of uniforms. But I want to say that this kind of evaluation is really just to gain attention. Since this is an adaptation of a true event, are people really stupid enough to be fooled by a uniform? This is not the case. In fact, some of the deserters saw that the leather shoes he was wearing were wrong, otherwise they would not dare to point a gun at him. Fortunately, the military police showed up in time to save him. His ability to speak well is indeed his specialty. The reason why he didn't expose him was because the deserters wanted to use him as a life-saving umbrella.

At that time, Germany was fighting on the 2nd front, and the army had long since collapsed. There were deserters everywhere, and the local people were complaining! There were too many deserters to be caught and unable to be locked up. At that time, supplies were extremely scarce, and the concentration camps could not afford to support so many deserters and criminals, and they had no time to take care of them. The protagonist claimed to be directly responsible for the head of state. He cooperated very well with his performance, firstly to ease the conflict with the local people, and secondly to solve the problem of food and accommodation for so many people,

So I say that the protagonist is not actually twisted by human nature into an executioner, but is only brought into the pit step by step, just a puppet who is fooled and manipulated by others. All kinds of details, all the viewers, please savor it carefully in the film.
