Film is forever.
Much to my surprise though, when K2 does pop up, it is not as a German soldier like any right thinking human being would expect. No, instead we have a young Klaus with a slick pompadour and Joe American accent pumping out all sorts of attitude as a US soldier on his way to be executed for the murder of an innocent German civilian. When a group of Germans ambush the soldiers sent to execute Klaus and the crazed soldier mentioned earlier, the two take the opportunity to grab a couple guns, shoot some Krauts, and dash into the hills. After a few silly attempts at taking the two in, the Lt. realizes that if they are going to survive the three have to team up. That they do, killing more Nazis along the way and adopting new identities in order to avoid the certain death which will soon be coming their way.
