There is a movie called "Counterfeit Lieutenant", which is the story of a 19-year-old deserter, who was a lamb to be slaughtered the day before, but the next day he had the power of life and death, knowing that he also had a feeling of imminent death, but let others also be bitter. Just because he picked up a piece of clothing, he mutilated 120 people in 8 days, which is a devil.
In 1945, at the end of World War II, Germany was defeated one after another, and soldiers threw away their armor and began to flee. Naturally, Germany did not allow this to happen, so it went around catching deserters and punishing them severely, and even then, everyone still wanted to escape, and they felt that as long as they escaped, there would still be a glimmer of hope, and Willie Herold was one of them.
Herold was a 19-year-old boy who had been separated from his troops and could actually find it, but he gave up the idea and began a life of exile. He thought very simply, to have a peaceful life after going out, but a few days later, he fell to the ground hungry because of lack of physical strength, but at this moment, he saw a dress, which he put on because it was too cold.
Halfway through, he met a group of German soldiers who instinctively wanted to escape, but the soldiers fell to their knees in front of him and said that their commander had died in the war, hoping that he would take him in and follow him all the way. It turned out that the clothes That Herold was wearing were the clothes of the officers, so they would misunderstand, and in this way, Herold became their captain in a daze.
They traveled along, giving priority to Herold, who was a little flustered, and then they inadvertently walked to the Amsland Correctional Camp where deserters were being held. The head of the office asked them what they were doing, and Herold simply said that he had been assigned by Hitler to manage the fugitives, and the head was worried that he did not know what to do with the fugitives, and now someone had come to take his place, and happily handed him over.
Since Herold had also been a fugitive before, he was afraid that he would be recognized, so he had the idea of solving them. He did the same method used by the gendarmerie to pursue him, letting them run first and chasing after him himself, but he was more terrible than the gendarmerie, and he tied the rope to them and ran together, so that he could ensure that everyone could escape.
Herold apparently regarded killing as a game, and then he came up with various ways to torture them, sometimes digging a large pit and making them all jump into it, and strafing and bombing with anti-high-altitude machine guns, inhumane. In addition, there were many tricks, and in just eight days, 120 people were killed, but none of these 120 people knew him.
The lie will always be exposed one day, he has finally become a demon, after killing the deserters, he still wants to attack his colleagues, and finally his identity is questioned by everyone. He escaped again, and when he ran to Wilhelmshaven in Germany, he happened to encounter the British army, who would not spare his men, and directly executed him, ending his absurd life. Because of the evils he committed, he was known as the "Emsland Executioner."
He was originally a deserter, but because he accidentally picked up a piece of clothing, he had the power to kill and kill, and he did whatever he wanted. Many people are asking if there would be a different ending if that person changed into himself, but the cruelty of war is unimaginable, and if there is no war, he is just an ordinary person.
