Yes a great actor yes he did play a Nazi more often than not he was born in Berlin and his parents were ardent Nazi's , he played a good part in the Wild Geese with Richard Burton,.

If I recall correctly he was the star of the old film " The one that got away" based on a German Pilot who escaped England eventually got back to Germany got back into the war took off and never seen again

Nope. Looked through his filmography on IMDB and the only one I've seen is A Bridge Too Far and I don't remember much about the film at all. I'm just a sweet young lad you see.

His great part was as a model plane designer, in the film,
'Flight of the Phoenix.'
The greatest air crash film ever made.

It was a great film but I didn't enjoy the later re-make as much as Jimmy Stewart's original.. Hardy Kruger didn't always play Nazis but for some reason always Germans.. :rolleyes: :grin:

he played von Werra, a Luftwaffe pilot shot down over England who escaped when transferred to Canada. The only Axis POW to escape custody in the entire war, apparently. I know I saw the film at the time, but don't really remember it,
