yeah i re-watched the cutscenes recently and whooooo this dude has major nazi vibes. also, they did stalin dirty with that kane/nod shit.
My RA headcanon is that Germany stays a liberal democracy which doesn't fall to Nazism (thanks to Einstein's epic prank with the time machine and something something Great Man Theory) but the reigning SPD, in true socfash fashion, enters a power-sharing agreement with the DNVP and NSDAP against the looming red specter. So of course we have the German general sounding vaguely fashy.
Not only that, they made him a cartoon villain who whines and throws a tantrum whenever things don't go 100% to plan. I guess that's to be expected for an American game in the 90s.
At least things get better in RA2 (I'm pretty sure).
