Character Bio

Colonel Kurt von Strohm photo
Colonel Kurt Von Strohm (Richard Marner) - The corrupt German town commandant. He is kept occupied by hiding valuable local paintings and antiques, which he intends to sell after the war. He frequently visits the cafe, where the waitresses provide him with much entertainment. He always gets René to do his dirty work, threatening him with the line "Othervise I vill have you shot!" Hans - "He vould, he did it before!" Overweight, bumbling and greedy, the Colonel often promises René a cut in the profits but was quick to take them away. "Ve are vinning ze var. I am a German officer and I can shoot anyone I like!" Hans mimed expanding head motions behind his back.

Colonel Kurt von Strohm Quotes

04x02 - Camp Dance Season 4 / Episode 2: - Camp Dance

Captain Hans Geering: [Hans was last seen being catapulted over the fence of a German POW camp, disguised as a British airman. Now, the Colonel and the others are picking up a suspicious transmission on the radio in Lieutenant Gruber's tank] Hello? Hello? Hello?
Colonel Kurt von Strohm: This is Colonel Von Strohm. Whose talking?
Captain Hans Geering: Captain Hans Geering!
Colonel Kurt von Strohm: Hans! Thank heavens you're safe! What happened to you?
Captain Hans Geering: Um... The resistance took me away.
Colonel Kurt von Strohm: [to Rene and the others] He's in the hands of the resistance. They'll be wanting a ransom. [Into the microphone] Hans, can you give us your present position?
Captain Hans Geering: Uh... In the markets, overlooking Picadilly Circus [several corroborating background noises follow]
Colonel Kurt von Strohm: What happened?
Captain Hans Geering: I'm afraid the war is over for me, Colonel. The resistance mistook me for a British airman and sent me back to England.
Colonel Kurt von Strohm: Then you must escape and get back here, as soon as possible!
Captain Hans Geering: Um... That will not be easy, Colonel. You see, I do not have my spectacles.
Colonel Kurt von Strohm: Hans, what am I going to tell the general?
Captain Hans Geering: Well, um... tell him that the food is very good and the British think they're going to win. Over and out!
Colonel Kurt von Strohm: Hans? Hans? [Stands fiddling with the radio knobs, but doesn't get a reply] Hans! [Realizing that his friend is gone for good] Hans... [credits roll]
