Why does hans landa surrender

In Inglourious Basterds Hans Landa is ordering two strudels, one for himself and the other for Shosanna. Landa however, eats most of the strudel, and before he departs, he extinguishes his cigarette in the strudel creme.

Almost immediately after the murder scene, we see Landa negotiate his conditional surrender to Lt. Afterwards, he demands that he tell him the positions of the other German soldiers, also what weapons they have and how many of them there are.

Donny Donowitz to beat him to death with his baseball bat, as he eats a sandwich. Aldo and what was left of the Basterds had a close encounter with Landa in the final part of the movie, and things took a turn at the end. Aldo and the Basterds traveled around following German soldiers, capturing them, and scalping them, and those who lived to tell the story left with a swastika carved on their forehead.

This was done as to not let them forget what they did while serving Hitler, even if they never wear a uniform again. Novak prisoners. Landa made Aldo contact his superior with the OSS to make a deal: Landa would let the Basterds' plan of killing Hitler continue in exchange for safe passage through the Allied lines, full pardon, and other benefits after the war.

When they reached Allied territory, Landa and his radio operator surrendered, but Aldo shot the latter and ordered Utivich to scalp him. Zoller introduces Landa to Mimieux, telling her he is running the security for the film premiere. He kisses her hand, while Shosanna tries to remain calm.

As the Germans leave, Landa explains that he would like to have a conversation with Mimieux. Zoller rudely asks why, and Landa both offscreen is surprised by the private's attitude. Landa then sits at the table with Mimieux. He then orders two strudels and a glass of milk for her. He asks Mimieux about her cinema and if it's true that a black man operates the projectors.

When Mimieux confirms that it is, Landa tells her that she will be the one to operate the projectors on the day of the premiere. He then says he had another question for Mimieux and briefly stares at her. After saying he cannot remember what the question was, he leaves. Landa attends a film screening in Shosanna's cinema, as requested by Goebbels, along with Hellstrom, Zoller, Francesca and her pudel. He leaves the cinema with the said group to prepare the film premiere.

Hans Landa is called into the village of Nadine , to investigate a shootout between several German soldiers and the Basterds. He identifies Hugo Stiglitz and Wilhelm Wicki. He tells the soldier that accompanies him that they were part of the Basterds, responsible for killing German soldiers.

But he notices that there's something odd about the incident. He then sees a woman's shoe, and deduces that someone is missing.

After signalling everyone to leave, he finds a handkerchief with an autograph from Bridget von Hammersmark. Hans Landa is at the film premiere, drinking some champagne. He speaks with von Hammersmark and her escorts, and sees through their disguises. He takes von Hammersmark to a private room and tells her to put her foot on his lap.

He puts the shoe he found at the tavern on her, and then strangles her to death. He then has Aldo captured, along with another Basterd named Utivich.

He takes Aldo and Utivich to an empty building and speaks with them. Aldo asks where Donny, Omar, and von Hammersmark are. Landa tells him that von Hammersmark got what she deserved, and that Donny and Omar are still at the cinema auditorium with bombs strapped to their legs. He has Aldo contact his superior at the OSS and negotiates his surrender and allowing the mission to proceed in exchange for immunity, medals, American citizenship, and a house on Nantucket Island.

Aldo's superior agrees to his demands and the mission goes as planned, with the theatre blowing up and the Nazi High Command being killed, most likely ending the war. Landa and his radio operator drive Aldo and Utivich into Allied territory, and then surrender to them. Aldo tells Utivich to cuff Landa. Landa asks if that's really necessary, and Aldo replies that he's a 'slave to appearances' before shooting the radio operator and having Utivich scalp him, to Landa's shock.

Landa finally loses his composure and tells Aldo that he will be shot for this. Aldo says that he will most likely be "chewed out" and that he's been chewed out before. Aldo, knowing that Landa plans to take off his Nazi uniform someday, tells the frightened Landa that he will give him something he can't take off.
