But I think there is a great difference between the anime and the original only for that episode. In the anime, when Oberstein gave the information about the atrocious plan for nuclear boumb attack, Reinhardt refused Oberstein’s proposal (and Oberstein proceeded in secret under pretence of his mistake). But in the original novel, Reingardt refused the cruel proposal once, however, he ORDERD to let the attack pass at last. I can not understand why the staff made such radical change in the anime. The argument between Reinhardt and Kircheis does not mean anything if Reinhardt does not have any guilty conscience about that he leave the attack ON PURPOSE. And it is natural for Kircheis to get angry(but his expression in the manga is overemphasis). I rather suppose the manga represents the original as to that episode. It is true that Ms. Michihara sometimes changes or modifies the stories, but it does not mean that she does not understand the characters and why the things happened, I think. Thanks.
