~ The chorus to Sabaton's song "Uprising"-describing the Warsaw Uprising. |
The Nazi Officer is the unnamed main antagonist of the music video for the song "Uprising" by Sabaton, from their album "Coat of Arms". He is a Nazi soldier who ordered the deaths of several Polish rebels during the Warsaw Ghetto.
He was portrayed by Peter Stormare, who also played Gaear Grimsrud.
Biography
The Nazi Officer is the head of the occupation in Warsaw in 1944. He first appears when he gets word about the resistance from the Polish. He then orders the deaths of one hundred Polish citizens for one German. His soldiers proceeded with his orders, taking men, women, the elderly, and children alike from the rebellion and rounded them up to shoot them to death-leaving the ones who escaped to witness their friends being slaughtered as they hid away. The officer later receives a phone call that the citizens refused to back down and continued to rebel. In a drunken rage, he gives the order to burn down Warsaw. As a result most of the citizens at Warsaw are shot down and bombed. The officer later visits the scene himself where he walks past several dead bodies and has any innocent civilians who are still alive shot to death.
Personality
He has very little screen time as well as lines, but the Nazi Officer was nevertheless a true Nazi. He was responsible for deaths of maybe thousands of innocent people and showed clear joy in it all-as demonstrated when he set a model for Warsaw on fire in a drunken rage after he had just given orders to bomb the place for the citizens' strong will to live on. He was not above doing things himself, as he had surveyed the massacre at Warsaw done by his actions out of pure satification and shot any surviving members dead-who were still wonded neverthless.
