The various military decorations that Captain Klenzendorf wears in the film indicate that he's an heroic combat veteran and not just some administrator or incompetent who's been assigned to babysit the Hitler Youth, to get him out of the way. He has both the Iron Cross 1st and 2nd class (both awarded for personal acts of heroism), a bronze close combat clasp (signifying that he's fought in a minimum of 15 hand-to-hand engagements), a silver tank destruction badge (awarded for individually destroying an enemy tank with a hand-held weapon), and a gold wound badge (meaning that he's been wounded in combat at least 5 times).
