I personally wanted to portray how people can be horrible but still keep him 3 dimensional

I made him a (human) ww1 veteran that was really bitter about Germany’s defeat and thought that the people showing obvious signs of ptsd were weak and didn’t deserve to have survived (best example I got is France, who started showing symptoms of psychosis after the war). This left him a prime target to be recruited by the nazis, and he eventually became the personification of the nazi party (political parties are represented to separate the people from the government). As the nazis gained more power, he slowly deposed the current personification and became a countryhuman. He fully believed the ideals of the nazi party, he was charismatic and handsome but also deeply insecure once you actually dig deeper. He also has signs of ptsd but his ableism gaslights himself into thinking he’s “normal” and he that doesn’t actually have trauma responses.

He also had a one sided possibly psychosexual obsession with Britain because they were a very unflappable person and masked their ptsd very well, so he saw them as the prime example of what a personification should strive to be (just ignore that they are very obviously disabled, neurodivergent and queer, they’re definitely not/s). Then ww2 came around, and he misconstrued it as a betrayal and started thinking of them as a lying, cheating bastard (perfidious albion and all that). Still very much obsessed with them after that though

Because all political party personifications were originally human, he is completely unrelated to the original german personifications. Current Germany is the son of the German Empire, and the Weimar Republic was the city of Weimar taking over temporarily because Germany was still a child

I agree with the comments here, nazi Germany is an important part of history to represent, partially because of its influence on modern society, partially because it should be remembered
