Rollo in Stalingrad is pretty good: 'Do you intend to accept the fuhrer's congratulations with your top button undone??' 'Yes...'

Feldwebel Schulz is the kind of German portrayal I grew up watching as a kid. Ironically, the actor Sig Ruman, a former WW1 veteran of a Jewish faith, portrayed the typical Hollywoodian German of the 30s and 40s.

Here are some of his most memorable quotes in the movie Stalag 17

"Aufstehn, pleez gentlemen, aufstehn. You do not want to stay in the bed on such a beautiful morning we are having today, ja?"

"And now Gentleman, we will all go outside for a little gymnastics. We will grab some shovels and we will undig the tunnel you dig"

"It isn't me. It is orders. I am your friend. I am your best friend hier"

"you Americans, you're the craziest people. That's why I like you. Oh I wish I could invite you all to my house for a nice German Christmas. Raus, raus, raus!"

"ah, one Fuehrer is enough. Now pleez gentlemen, take off those moustaches or do you want me arrested by the Gestapo"
