We see how Dirlewanger, the son of a lawyer enlists in the army in World War One, is wounded several times and after the war takes an active role in defeating communist insurgents.
Particular attention is devoted to the mysterious end of Dirlewanger himself who may have been murdered in a French prison or, as some have said, had enlisted in the French Foreign Legion and later lived his final years in Egypt.
We learn little about his childhood or personal life, though we can guess that he was never married (because its never mentioned that he ever was) and that he had a fanatical degree of loyalty to the party.

U.S.S.R. : Khatyn: The SS unit which swept on the Russian village of Khatyn, near Minsk, was very unusual, even by Nazi standards; it had been formed from German criminals released from concentration camps.
Commanded by SS Major-General Oskar Dirlewanger, the SS men systematically murdered all but one of the 150 villagers and burned the village to the ground.
The atrocity is intended to deter villagers from giving food and shelter to the partisans, about 150,000 of whom are in action behind enemy lines.
