* Foil: Whilst Brandt and Kesller have their disagreements they always remain professional. It's only with the arrival of Reinhardt that Kessler meets his opposite. Kessler is a devoted Nazi, fastidious about his duties and a rear-echelon bureaucrat. Reinhardt is a cynic, laid back and a decorated soldier.

* RevengeBeforeReason: Reinhardt has no real reason to keep his investigation into lifeline going. Not with the allies knocking at the door. But he carries out the search regardless.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: For all his fanaticism, Standartenführer Kessler knows that putting a last stand in the face of the Allied advance would be futile. He and Reinhardt decide to simply plan an orderly evacuation before the British reach Brussels.

Coupled with the recent death of his wife and son and the discovery of what his comrades are doing to the Jews in Poland, it’s not surprising that he chooses this way out.
