Vadenblick's guilt is made almost immediately evident by his harsh manner, his strong views on why Finland lost in the Continuation War and the extremely demeaning tone in which he speaks to his wife. In addition his appearance is clearly modelled after Adolf Hitler (and his manners possibly after Charlie Chaplin's portrayal of Hitler in "The Great Dictator") which even leads Nopsanen to write him up in his notes as "a crazy nazi".
