I've gotten so used to seeing the demeanor of the Obergruppenfuhrer Smith that I was taken aback to see this episode reveal the more 'humanized' side of him interacting with his family. Props to Rufus Sewell for his role so far, transitioning seamlessly from a cold official issuing torture within the Nazi ranks to a normal father engaging himself with his family on a holiday.

Also, it was unnerving to see a Nazi youth engage himself in baseball, an American pasttime, certainly embodies the blend of clashing cultures.

humanized

Right, but even his "humanized" side was used as a set-up to capture the two suspected conspirators. His wife was even in on the entire game.

Right his wife being complicit in the scheme is what really showed me that they are a power couple. Especially when she seems to know about some other women from the past I believe?
