YMMV / Block 109

---

• Magnificent Bastard: Grand Master Zytek was once a member of the anti-Nazi resistance who pledged to infiltrate the Nazi German hierarchy in order to destroy it from within. Zytek assassinates Adolf Hitler himself, which inadvertently causes a more effective leadership to take charge of the Third Reich and escalate the war, destroying much of the world population in a full-scale nuclear attack, along with Zytek's beloved family. Zytek later becomes ultimate leader, using his private paramilitary organization the Teutonic Order to foil his enemies within the Reich, stopping an attempted coup d'etat by his ambitious rival Reinhard Heydrich before he can even put it into action, and wipes out the rest of the Nazi leadership in one fell swoop for their crimes against humanity. Zytek's ultimate plan is to destroy the major warring powers in a nuclear apocalypse while allowing a select group of people from the Reich and other populations around the world to survive and rebuild civilization. A charismatic leader who inspires nothing but total devotion from his men because of his convictions and courage in battle, Zytek is a deeply tragic figure who ultimately dies in a valiant last stand to rid the world of its worst evils and save mankind in the long run.
• Tear Jerker:
  • When Zytek presents Anna to Lisa when the latter is into a full Broken Tears. This line will make you want to hug Lisa:
    Lisa: This is your present?!! A new daughter?! A DOLL?!!
    Zytek: Who said anything about a present, Lisa? This is a heavy responsibility. Anna has known horrors. All I want to ask is: Will you protect her and raise her? Will you love her? This is your second chance, Lisa. (Lisa then tightly hugs Anna)
  • Kramer Paul aka Zytek still remembered over the death of his wife and children after the destruction of New York during the atomic bombing.
  • Roland, Marcel and "Bébert" are all dead by the end of Etoile Rouge.
