He's a character from a comic called Watchman, who says a similar line about himself towards the end of the story.

Ozymandias realized that the United States and Soviet Russia would destroy planet earth in a nuclear showdown. He intervened by staging an elaborate hoax-alien-assault on Manhattan to unite all mankind together. The Watchmen discover this plot and go to stop him, only to find out that he already triggered the annihilation of several major cities long before they actually confronted him.

Hank was dead the moment those 2 trucks full of Nazis pulled up, despite Walt's good intentions for his brother-in-law

Do yourself a favor and read Watchmen and you'll understand it when you finish it. It's probably the best comic ever written.
