Werner and his team

I wish we had gotten to see more of the dynamic between Werner and each of the Germans because I felt he was kind of a fatherly figure to them. I actually thought we'd hear some backstory about how he and his wife had wanted kids but couldn't for whatever reason, so the guys on his team are almost like surrogate sons. He keeps saying they're good "boys" when they act out or screw up even though they must be well in their 30s- I could totally see Kai as the smart but troublesome one that just "needs to apply himself". He sees a person's children are part of their "legacy" which we know is very important to him, and he clearly looked up to his own father and probably bonded over their shared profession. He also only started to have fun on their night out when he was talking with those young guys and teaching them about engineering. And he risked his life to fix one of those explosives rather than let one of his men do it. Even gives Kai a reassuring pat before he goes. And he and his wife got a puppy. Makes it harder to believe he would risk all their lives with that stunt in the end but I thought that the extent of his naivety was supposed to indicate a deeper psychological issue that made him act unreasonably.
