Worldwar/YMMV

• Deconstruction: of the entire alien invasion genre.
• Magnificent Bastard: Otto Skorzeny. It's amazing how much you'll find yourself rooting for a Nazi commander.
• Motive Decay: David Nussboym was originally a Lizard collaborator because he felt they were the best hope for Jewish survival in Poland, and because he hated the Nazis enough to override his concern that the entire would would become an outpost of the Race. Mordechai himself admits that David is an honorable and brave man, and that just because they have opposing viewpoints does not make him a greedy and self-serving fool. However, once David is sent to a Soviet gulag he becomes a collaborator solely to support himself, and betrays friends and enemies alike to the head of the camp in order to advance his own agenda. This would normally count as a change in the character because of his surroundings, but his own thoughts and memories now reflect on how he did the same things back in Poland and throughout his life, and his very nature is self-serving.
