Those Wacky Nazis: Out of all the crew, he's the most ardent supporter of the regime, listening with glee when the radio reports on the recent victories of the German army on land.It is only in the latter stages of the film when even he cannot keep on top of it all and slowly becomes disheveled and unshaven too by the end of the film. He remains immaculately dressed and clean shaven for most of the film while the rest of the crew all become steadily filthier and more bedraggled with every scene. The Stoic: The 1WO is all about this in the initial stages of the film, being new to the war effort and a dedicated Nazi.Perma-Shave: Unlike the rest of the U-96 crew, he always shaves.Non-Idle Rich: He was raised in some wealth by his step-parents in Mexico, and returned to Germany to fight in the war.The Neidermeyer: He's even more despised by the crew than Werner.The Lost Lenore: His fiancée was killed in an Allied air raid.Took a Level in Badass: He gains combat experience and the crew begins to respect him.The crew and officers sometimes pause to explain what they're doing to him but he often has to figure it out by observation. The Watson: Werner is on board as a journalist, thus it's his job to be inquisitive about everything.
