Bath House Barry is certainly in that "most vile" category. He differs from Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, and the like only in degree, not in kind. Don't doubt for a minute that he, or Hildebeeste, or any of that lot would put us Deplorables in concentration camps if they could figure out how to do it.
As for Captain Hardegen ... He deserved a better fate than serving in the Kriegsmarine under Hitler. Too bad he didn't follow the lead of Captain Georg Ludwig Ritter von Trapp.

Maybe he could not sing? : )
