| Apr 8, 2020 at 1:48 | comment | added | Charles E. Grant | Captain Miller also explains in the movie why he releases the German solder: he wants to go home again and have an ordinary life, not haunted by memories of having done terrible (even if arguably necessary) things. | |

I can also testify from personal experience that shaking and tremors are a common reaction in people about to undertake a life threatening activity. | |

Early onset Parkinson's also typically has a slower progression rate and lower rate of some symptoms including dementia. I think its a stretch to diagnose Parkinsons based on a few decisions he makes and the shaking hands. | |

| Sep 30, 2016 at 22:37 | comment | added | Mr_Thyroid | Seems a fair assumption that it's PTSD (although OTSD (Ongoing TSD) might be a better description). It would be weird to give your main character Parkinson's, never mention it, and then have him die without it seriously affecting him, or him or anyone else realising what it is. | |
