If you read of his background it's surprising that he made such a good career in the UK, but someone had to play the nazis I suppose...

yes. He was proper Hitler youth material.
I'm not sure whether they'd have killed me or signed me up. The dilema of an aryan Jew.

Much like the interesting things the BNP comes up with to determine what constitutes a truly British person. Suddenly it's all about when the island was cut off the continent and stuff like that.
