You know, it just occurred
to me that it's possible these guys said yes to this mission knowing very well that it was basically suicide. 
Oy, how much longer until Robo saves the world again and General What's-her-name starts head desking over the fact that a freaking robot fugitive did what she couldn't?

I don't think headdesking is quite the normal reaction to learning that the suicide mission you sent good soldiers on didn't actually have to happen.
Robo is probably getting all of the propaganda points out of this. He is not only saving the world, he is also doing so while exposing Longinus (which the US had kept under wraps) and proving that the loss of life in Ultra's plan was unnecessary.

Then what is the normal reaction?
Or they'll find a way to redirect their anger about the situation and try to find a way to blame Robo.

Something in that general area. Headdesking's just more of a lighthearted reaction. It's not really something you do when there's a genuine tragedy.
Team Robo finds out that the US and Russia are gonna nuke Japan. But Robo isn't gonna have any of that if he can help it.
EDIT: He-llo Bilingual Bonus. What's that? "Fluchtkapsel" means "escape pod"? Interesting.

Even without knowing German, I could kinda gather that "kapsel" would be something close to "capsule", and "flucht" sounds enough like "flight" that I'd take my chances with a possible "flight capsule" even if I had no idea of what it actually was.

Yes, that's what it means.

This is a very novel way to play the situation. Robo has already pressed the "save the world" button, and now his attempts to rescue himself are played for almost slapstick. It's so far from standard dramatic tension that I can't really compare it to anything offhand.

More than that. It's been up there since WWII, created to fight a war that's long finished and defend against enemies that never come. Until now. This is the first time that it's had a chance to actually act as the guardian it was made to be, and it's clearly going to be the last. But there is no time for angst, no time for regret. There is an intruder here. Its entire reason for being is to take that fucker out. It has one job, and by the fuhrer it will do it though heaven and hell rise up against.
Or it's mindlessly fulfilling a directive. Could go either way.

One has to wonder what the purpose of the skull even was. No eyeballs, no brain, all machine. Judging by the fluid in there that most likely served as a preservative and perhaps shock insulation, it wasn't a regular head that rotted away into a skull. They literally just finished their robot then decided to stick a skull on it.
Then again, Nazis. They stuck skulls on everything.

Well maybe it was a digital ghost.
What, something like Aradia? The Nazis, Helsingard in particular, were certainly enough into all that occult crap that it would be plausible.
