[quote=“HEinDC”]Bridget shooting him is a surprise, but did they really have the option of letting Wilhelm go? Aldo was probably right that striking a deal with him was the only way to get Bridget out, but if Wilhelm was free to go, surely it would destroyed any chance for Operation Kino to succeed. Bridget was so famous that her cover would have been blown with the Germans if anyone not associated with the Basterds got out of there alive.[/quote]
But Hans still figured that out.
