I've seen a video on Wired's YouTube channel a few weeks back, where a professional dialect coach has analyzed famous examples on how to do an accent right or wrong, but he also pointed out, blame doesn't always lie with actors, but also with tight shooting schedules (leaving virtually no room to prepare a good dialect) and bad dialect coaches.
At least on 2 occasions, Kahl's character was even ignorant for one, he proclaimed, talking in your sleep/unconscious state is typically American, and it isn't, and two, he asked Wolfgang if he speaks English after he already asked his name.
All 4 of them are British actors, so my hunch was that they made 2 of them American to be both fish out of water, and to appeal to the American market. On that note I used spoilers because this one comes out a month from now in the US.
