Trivia

The Wilhelmstraße ("William Street") was the real-world center of government for the Kingdom of Prussia and later, for the Third Reich. Located in Berlin, the Nazis hosted their Reich Chancellery here. Additionally, the Totenkopf was the icon present on the emblems of the Schutzstaffel (SS), the branch of Hitler's regime most responsible for the war crimes against Nazi prisoners during the war and were primarily responsible for the Holocaust.

As such, General Deathshead is likely meant to be the representation of the atrocities of the Nazis in the form of a single human.
