- Oh Liebgott. I want to know, why couldn't they have gotten anyone else to talk to the prisoners? Wouldn't they have understood that Liebgott couldn't/shouldn't tell them that they had to go back to that hell? Especially when he breaks down (excellent job by Ross).
why couldn't they have gotten Lesniewski to talk to the prisoners?
- Luz is so much love in this episode.
Luz in this ep is the one thing that keeps me from losing my shit and going crazy with sad. Which I am very grateful for, because he is awesome and full of lulz and love and *hearts*.
I'm wondering why the hell they didn't ask Webster. You've got a guy who can speak German who might be a tiny weeny little less traumatised... but no. Make the nervy Jewish kid do it. That won't have any bad consequences, I'm sure.
Looks like they forgot Web could speak German in this episode - it looked like he didn't understand the baker or something guy other than the 'I'm not a nazi!'!
Well. It made for one hell of a heartbreaking scene, have to give them that. (Or did it happen like this in real life too? I haven't done that much research, and I kind of get confused sometimes.)
Aside from writing issues-this is what Liebgott's character was written toward from the very beginning, it sets up our complete sympathy with him for next episode so that when he commits what is technically a war crime, we're on his side, to a greater or lesser extent, Lesniewski is a minor background character whose Jewishness was not ever mentioned in his small screen time, Webster would have been too much, is the in-universe explanation:
Winters didn't know about the Holocaust. He didn't know these people were Jews. He needed a translator, his most trusted translator, the one who's been doing that job more and more as they've pushed into Germany. He didn't know what the prisoner would say. Why do you think he gets that look, the "oh my God, what have I done?" look, as the prisoner reveals who they are?
