He comprehended that the general was in the palm of his hands explain the sentence?
What does the general mean by German ruthlessness wd the American sentimentality?
It means that Dr. Sadao understood that the General was in his control, as the latter thought it was due to his own carelessness that the American man had escaped unhurt in spite of his promise to Dr. Sadao about killing the man. The General now feared that this might be blamed on lack of patriotism or dereliction of duty on his part and thus, asked for Dr. Sadao’s loyalty.
The General wanted Dr. Sadao to combine German ruthlessness with the American sentimentality. He wanted the latter to show the merciless behaviour of the Germans for which they were well-known while turning over the American prisoner for execution and yet not murder the General while he was being operated following the American quality of being sentimental or exhibiting emotional idealism.
