This is a rather mundane observation.
Or are you misreading this to imply the captain knew from the very beginning he was a real SS agent? It seems so!
So you think the captain is saying his questioning of documents was frivolous, since he knew anyway. No, that's the position of the other press release. Guess you should read your own link again.
