German Lieutenant Christian Diestl
Alberty’s Tiger tank commander bears an uncanny resemblance to a character from another film: German Lieutenant Christian Diestl in the film The Young Lions, who played the role of Alberty (1958). To be sure, the Nazi figure played by Marlon Brando has an incredibly Aryan appearance and speaking pattern, which makes him a fascinating character to witness in action.
