* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Dramatic as it was, simply putting your arms up and surrendering in full-view of an actively-shooting BloodKnight suffering from a VillainousBreakdown that just shot your friend from trying to surrender is not the most logical decision. Even if Schröder didn't respond to that by pointing to shoot at Müller, attempting to kill Schröder with his pistol would have certainly expedited Müller's surrender considering Schröder's resistance to the Americans Müller was trying to surrender to.]]

** This story is meant to be symbolic of Peter’s role in the war, which in a way is another case of this. He may not have committed any war crimes or participated in the genocide (at least as far as we know), but nonetheless he enabled those who did by choosing to fight for Germany rather than refuse or surrender earlier.
