* As of the Cutting Room Floor patch there's even a small silver of sympathy to be had for Reinhard Heydrich, one of [[FinalSolution history's most horrific mass murderers]], as well. After killing Himmler, he realizes just how far gone he was, and that he had simply accomplished nothing. Seeing the fact that the Poles and others he considered to be untermenschen fight valiantly in his ragtag coalition, and the fact that the SS are willing to plunge the nation once again into chaos to seize power completly reveals to him just how twisted and beyond the pale Nazi ideology is. Understanding that there was [[BeyondRedemption no way]] he can ever make up for all the evil he has done, and that his devotion to Nazism indirectly led to the death of one of his sons, ''more Aryans than any so-called Jewish plot could have done'', and alienated him from his still living son and daughters, he kills himself, deciding the world and Germany would be better off without him and Nazism.

* Unlike most Nazi leaders, and unlike ''every'' leader that champions a variation of Esoteric Nazism, there is a certain measure of sympathy to be had for Sergei Taboritsky. Especially if you have a little familiarity with schizophrenia, which his madness ''very'' much resembles. Even as he gasses his own people and slaughters everyone with the slightest measure of impurity or disobedience in Russia until he completely kills even the very ''idea'' of Russia as a nation, even knowing he was likely irredeemable from the start... there is still something harrowing in watching him start realizing God isn't with him. The last moment before his brain gives up on working, he mumbles ''one little sentence'', showing deep regret for killing an innocent Nabokov Sr before the voices take over for good. THEN the wall of denial that holds him back from realizing Alexei is never coming back collapses, he just falls the hell apart until there is ''nothing'' left, literally dying from shock with no one to check up on him until the scent of rot sets into the palace. Which, in turn, makes the final revelation that his liege is long dead before he himself dies of shock all the more pitiful.

Marked by nostalgia for the times when the Spanish and Portuguese fought together and worked towards the same goal, the events, at the same time, capture the somber feeling caught by both sides that the things can't continue anymore as they do, to the benefit of all nations involved. As the Iberian federal flags are lowered down and radios across Spain and Portugal broadcast the last days of the Union, the two Caudillos understand they have to let it go and say their final goodbyes to the dream unfullfilled.
