I believe this is a difference in the anime from the novels and manga. It is my understanding that in the original novel sotry and the manga adaptation, Reinhard explicitly consented to the plan. In the anime they softened this up by him basically procrastinating until it was too late, made worse by Oberstein's deceit about the time of impact. ============================================================================== "Zu jeder Zeit, an jeder (sic) Ort, bleibt das Tun | Walter Amos der Menschen das gleiche..." - Galactic Heroes II | amos(at)sedl.org
