User blog:El Alamein/Amon Goeth vs. Hans Landa



Hellstorm takes the most despicable men the human race can offer and throws them headfirst into a hate-filled battle! Amon Goeth, the brutal head of a Polish concentration camp who terrorized and murdered the Nazi undesirables during World War II, takes aim at Hans Landa, the tricky-as-a-fish SS officer who killed without remorse and would turn on his own allies if it means saving his own rear end! These two Nazis use the high-tech firepower of German engineering, but after the minds have met and the duel is done, only one can be the deadliest warrior!

Amon Goeth (represented by the Doctor)
Amon Goeth (Göth in German) was born in Vienna, Austria, and joined a Nazi youth group at the age of 17. He moved to a nationalist paramilitary group at the age of 19, and by the age of 22,  had become a member of the Austrian branch of the Nazi Party. Goeth's early activities are little known, largely because the Austrian SS was an illegal and underground organization until the Anschluss of Austria with Nazi Germany in 1938. Between 1938 to 1941, he was a member of 11th SS-Standarte operating from Vienna and was commissioned to the rank of Second Lieutenant on 14 July 1941. As the head of the Plaszow Concentration Camp, Goeth oversees the execution and murder of thousands of Nazi undesirables and takes on his job with stunning brutality, his sadism matched only by his remorselessness. His efforts were hampered by Oskar Schindler, who saved many innocents from the Nazi concentration camps.

Hans Landa (represented by the Fury o' the Desert)
Hans Landa is an Austrian SS officer stationed in occupied France, nicknamed "the Jew Hunter" because of his ruthlessly uncanny ability to find fugitives hiding in the most unlikely of places. Ambitious and opportunistic, he does not share the Nazi ideologies of the Aryan race, and only performs his duties because it is what he is ordered to do. Nonetheless, his executions are performed with a terrifying efficiency, and he is one of the most favored officers in the area. Landa is very intelligent and sophisticated, and speaks German, French, English, and Italian. He assists the Basterds in their mission to assassinate Adolf Hitler when he finds no viable alternative that ends well for him. Securing safety and a full pardon for his war crimes, Landa expects to be transported to the United States, but Basterds leader Aldo Raine has other plans for him - in an attempt to prevent Landa from ever leaving his Nazi past behind him, Raine carves a swastika onto Landa's forehead, something he can never remove and never hide.
