SS Soldier

The SS Soldier is one of the antagonists in Saints and Soldiers.

Malmedy Massacre
The SS Soldier is never given a name, nor rank, though it is safe to assume he is a commander of some sort. A sergeant- captain.

SS Soldier first appears as at Malmedy, as one of the guards who are guarding the prisoners. He assaults Medic Steven Gould, who is attempting to help a wounded soldier. When the prisoners attempt to run, he shoots the Gould's patient.

The Americans run into the forest and he is a part of the German search party that goes in after them. He finds the Medic trying to hide behind a log withanother soldier. He yells for them to stand up, and the other soldier stand, begging him not to shoot. SS Soldier fires, killing him. He begins the process of discharging a spent clip, when he is attacked. Cpl. Nathan "Deacon" Greer is the attacker, and he disarms SS Soldier. His life is spared, even though Gould yells at Deacon to kill him. SS Soldier runs, and is not shot at. He maes it back to the Germans, who are killing anyone who is left alive.

The Frontlines
On the way to the front lines, the SS soldier and a few other Germans stop at a small shack to rest for the night. They enter, make sure it is clear, and immediately make themselves at home. They listen to the radio, talk, and laugh, unaware that there are survivors from the massacre hiding below them. They hear a plane crash, and leave to investigate.

The SS Soldier makes it to the frontlines, where he stays at a German camp. One day, he sees a jeep with two soldiers in front,a nd one laying in back, sick. The jeep makes a brake for the frontlines, and some of his fellow Germans attempt to stop them.

He is among the group of Germans who pursues the jeep to the no-man's land. He attampts to kill one of the soldiers who is firing at the Germans accurately. After a brief firefight between the two, he is shot in the shoulder, and put out of action.

He is later picked up by American soldiers and becomes a POW. He sits in a a crowd of Germans, most of them wounded, and clearly in pain. He is approached by Gould, who recognizes him. SS Soldier knows he is now at Gould's mercy, but is shocked when Gould, with a disgruntled look on his face, kneels down next to him and gives him medical attention.

Trivia

 * Never named
 * Seen throughout the movie
 * During the massacre, he fired a full clip: the Kar98 only holds 5 bullets in a clip, and as we saw him shoot 2, that means he reloaded between the two killings. Deacon said there were only 4 rounds in the gun.
 * Was in a firefight with both Deacon and Gould.
 * Only him Rudolph "Rudi" Gertz was captured, along with some other no names.
 * Like Rudi, he was captured by Deacon, and then let go.
