Maybe? But none of them are "he's good at being a Nazi", they're "he's good but not spectacular at being a Wehrmacht soldier, and he's been in a lot of front-line combat" which is a fine but fairly important distinction. Like, I suspect very few officers survived combat on the Eastern Front without either deserting or picking up at least one or two of those. (I also suspect very few people who were notably good at being Nazis ended up on the Eastern Front, that's where you send expendables.) I was expecting there to be one that signaled he'd been involved in a specific atrocity or worked with the SS or something.

I think he is maybe the only 'Allo 'Allo character with an Iron Cross though, so I bet that is what the secret writer is looking at, and I may be misreading how special the Iron Cross is.

I'm going to hazard a guess here that it's not the individual medals, but the implication of having ALL the medals, that's a bit ew.

Basically, this guy survived four years on the eastern front, alongside infantry, and served well enough to get medals out of it. One of the things I recall about "german infantry on the eastern front" is that, especially in the earlier years of the war, they dealt with Jewish communities by basically having the infantry shoot them. En masse. Sometimes making them dig their own trench graves first.

Now, those were special units - einsatzgruppen, iirc - but there's seriously no way this guy, with those medals, wasn't really closely adjacent to those activities, and may well have been directly involved at times.

Knowing nothing else about the show/the medals, this is my guess.

Ah, that makes sense! Basically all I know about the Eastern Front offhand was that it was extremely brutal for and by everyone involved. But it sounds like that particular set of medals probably *does* signal he worked with the SS and was involved in specific atrocities...
