Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Died yesterday at 93. The first German actor to break into Hollywood after the War. He was the aircraft designer in Flight of the Phoenix with Jimmy Stewart and an all-star cast. In Hatari with John Wayne, The Wild Geese with Burton and other Brit greats. Lots of other flics in the 1960s and '70s. Always was a favorite of mine. Played a few German officers but never the villains; did a lot to help Germany's image in those years.
