Schneider

“	The Führer feels... how does he put it.... the Red Skull has been indulged long enough!	„
	~ Schneider commending over Hitler's loss of faith over Schmidt.

Schneider is a minor antagonist in the 2011 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain America: The First Avenger. He is a high-ranking Schutzstaffel officer who served for the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

He was portrayed by Erich Redman, who also played Dr. Schmidt in Overlord.

Role

Schneider joined the Nazi Party following the end of World War I, effectively rising himself up to become Major General of the Nazi Army and becoming a loyal soldier to Hitler. However, unlike Hitler, Schneider grew doubtful over Red Skull's intention of utilizing HYDRA's weapons with the usage of the Norse gods' magic to bring forth a new world order.

In 1943, Schneider and his two colleagues (Roeder and Hutter) were sent by Hitler to Schmidt's base to question him about the progress in developing advanced weapons for the Nazis. During the tour over the base, Schneider expressed Hitler's loss of faith in Schmidt, saying that "the Red Skull" was indulged long enough due to shortages on soldiers over the past few years. A provoked Schmidt showed Schneider and his colleagues his latest weapon: a Tesseract-powered cannon.

Though it would seemed that Schneider and his colleagues are unimpressed by the new weapon, things took a turn for the worst when Hutter learns that Schmidt is targeting many world capitals (including Berlin), realizing that Schmidt and HYDRA have defected from the Nazis. Schmidt then uses his cannon to vaporize Hutter, making a horrified Schneider and Roeder realize that Schmidt isn't bluffing about his advanced weapons. Schmidt then uses his cannon to vaporize both Schneider and Roeder, cementing HYDRA's new occupation as a group independent from the Nazis.

Trivia

In the What If...? series premiere "What If...Captain Carter Were The First Avenger?", alongside Roeder and Hutter, Schneider never visits Red Skull at his HYDRA fortress and is never killed by him with the Tesseract; instead, an unnamed Nazi general and two guards of his are the ones who visit Red Skull, who, lacking the Tesseract, shoots the general dead and his guards are taken hostage by his HYDRA soldiers. It's unknown why Peggy Carter becoming Captain Carter in that alternate universe affected Schneider's visit to Red Skull.
