Kurt Dussander Was Really Evil


That was evident in the hospital room were he's laying unconscious and the patient laying in the bed next to him (who is a concentration camp survivor), tries to remember where he had 'seen him before'. As that patient is watching The Jeffersons, the suspenseful music starts, signifying that that patient finally 'remembered'. He has such a look of horror on his face at the realization and for him to react that way clearly shows how monstrously evil Dussander had been during his time in The Third Reich. That was a tense scene.

Yes it was. The big difference between that scene and the book is that the patient never saw Dussander's face but recognized his voice in something he said.......now that's memorization of real evil recognizing a voice 40 years later

"Shotgun! Anal!"

Totally. He witnessed this man murder his wife and child, to boot. I doubt anyone could forget that face, voice, even stance and swagger.

Ironically the actor who played the survivor tends to play Nazis a lot himself such as in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Its that man again!!

Oooooooh THAT'S where I know that guy from! Lol! I knew I knew him from somewhere, and I kept thinking Nazi, but I thought maybe I was just associating his face wrong

Not to mention he witnessed this man murder his wife and child. I doubt anyone could forget that face, voice, even stance and swagger.
