The whole concept is fucked up - the more sinful life you lead, the better off you are in Resurrection (which is the ''official name'' of this place). Yeah, what a fucking bitch, right? That's where you're supposed to feel sorry for Heinrich, by the way. I recommend skipping the author's prefaces in general, if you just want to enjoy the comic books for what they are and not bother with the author's personal political and moral litanies, which leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth (unless you're a Nazi, of course) - especially when Heinrich's ex-lover, a Jewish woman, gets shit for using Heinrich and gaining power over him through sex and manipulation because she didn't want to be gassed. I ''like'' Otto because he's a charming badass (still a Nazi, I know), but don't go around suggesting your readers should feel sympathy towards Nazis. The author himself said in one of the introductions that the MC was somehow likeable, as far as Nazis go. The main character, Heinrich, (a knight who's called ''honorable'' on multiple instances) is a Nazi. There you go, a sentence I'd never thought I'd say. My favourite character in this book so far might be Otto von Todt (yes, that's his name), a former devoted Nazi soldier.
