* CompleteMonster: [[NaziGrandpa Karl Rademacher]], during UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust, was the SS commandant of an [[POWCamp Auschwitz subcamp]] made up to look like a "model" camp for inspections by the Red Cross. When they leave, he usually has the prisoners [[DeadlyGas gassed by the hundreds]]. The episode opens in 1944 as Rademacher makes his daily rounds to select a prisoner to execute in front of the rest, which he considers "the only joy I get from this miserable job". When he selects a random man, the wife begs him not to, so he selects her instead and shoots her in front of her husband and daughter, later having [[WouldHurtAChild the child gassed to death]]. He gives instructions to the prisoners to write letters to their relatives to tell them how wonderful they have it there. When one man objects, Rademacher orders him sent outside and shot, before amending the order so he can personally shoot the prisoner. After the war this unrepentant war criminal lives incognito for many decades in the United States. Rademacher's cruelty and brutality ultimately becomes his own doom when, thanks to a TimeTravel device, he is sent back to his own camp dressed up as an inmate. When his younger version runs into him, he demands that the rowdy old man beg for his life before [[KarmicDeath he kills his older self for being Jewish]].
