Hermann Brunner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SS-Sturmbannführer Herman Brunner was a recurrent supporting character from the popular Polish TV series More Than Life at Stake (Stawka większa niż życie). Played by Emil Karewicz, he was the chief antagonist to the main character, Stanislaw Kolicki, a Polish spy impersonating a Nazi agent called Hans Kloss.[1]
A Sicherheitsdienst (sometimes incorrectly linked to Gestapo) officer in occupied Poland during World War II, Brunner is a ruthless Nazi official, who sometimes works with Lieutenant (later Captain) Hans Kloss of Abwehr, who is really Major Stanislaw Kolicki of Polish intelligence.
A "likable villain" who provides comic relief, Brunner is best known for the line, translated as, "I cannot look at a beaten man...if someone else is beating."[1]
