Partisan dressed like a German?


At the beginning of the movie when the main character gets recruited. One of the partisan is dressed head to toe in a German military police uniform, why? That character is never seen again.

He used it as cover when they went around recruiting from the villages. Remember when the fake German policeman threw Florya out the door and bloodied his face as they left his house? There were probably informants for the Germans all around, so they made the recruitment look as if Florya was being arrested by the Germans instead of recruited by the partisans.
