Is he a Nazi or is he a Basterd? Well, apparently he’s a Nazi turned Basterd, in Quentin Tarantino‘s WWII epic, Inglorious Batserds.
The actors real name is Til Schweiger and his characters name is Sgt. Stiglitz, so it’s kind of easy to see how one might assume he’s a Nazi, especially when you look at him (oh how stereotypes always work!). But no! He’s not a Nazi, he’s a grade-A psychopath with a gun who was recruited by the Basterds to kill Nazis.
