When she's not writing, you can find her trying to learn a new language, watching hockey go Avs! Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. It was great. By Adrienne Tyler Published Nov 22, Wilhelm, fairly drunk, continues to pester von Hammersmark.

Hicox gets annoyed and orders Willhelm to go back to his table. After a pause, Willhelm asks Hicox from which part of Germany he is from, as he finds his accent unusual. Stiglitz, sensing Hicox's cover is in danger, grabs Willhelm and tells him that he must be drunk or mad to talk to a superior officer with such impertinence. He orders his other comrades to take him back to his table, threatening that he'll spend the night in jail for public drunkenness.

From the other room, Dieter Hellstrom reveals his presence. He arrives at their table, mentions that he also finds Hicox's accent strange, and begins questioning Hicox. Hellstrom correctly identifies Stiglitz's accent as being from Frankfurt.

Hicox begins to tell Hellstrom his cover story of his strange accent and convinces him. Hellstrom then decides to join the table and pats Stiglitz on the back to move to the other chair, as he wants to stay closer to Hicox. Stiglitz isn't very happy about this, but complies. He keeps staring at the Gestapo officer during the time that he's at their table. During this time he has a flashback epic Tarantino guitar riff included where he's being tortured by the Nazis. Hellstrom insists on playing the same card guessing game as the other table of soldiers.

Hugo writes King Kong on a card and gives it to Hellstrom. After the Major guesses, he asks all the men at the table to finish their drinks. Stiglitz drinks his whiskey and angrily stares at Hellstrom. After Hicox blows his cover by ordering 3 more drinks with his ring finger, middle and index finger, which is considered odd in Germany and in most continental Europe, Hellstrom readies his gun under the table and informs Hicox that he gave himself away and that his gun is pointed at his testicles.

Hicox however, replies that he too is pointing his gun at his balls since he sat down. Stiglitz says that as well, as he quickly wraps his arm around Hellstrom and shoving his gun right into the Gestapo's crotch, telling him that he's a real Frederick Zoller at that range.

After a last drink and cigarette, Hicox tells Hellstrom there is only one thing left for him to do. When Hellstrom inquires about what that would be, Hicox signals Stiglitz to tell him. Stiglitz tells him the last thing Hellstrom can do is to "Say 'auf Wiedersehen' to your Nazi balls". Stiglitz shoots the Gestapo Major in his testicles a couple of times, who in turn shoots Hicox, who fires his gun as well.

Stigliz quickly jumps out of his chair, pulls his knife and stabs the Major in the back of his neck. He is shot by the female Sergeant in the back, but Stiglitz manages to shoot her in return and the German next to her before being killed by a shotgun blast from Eric , the bartender.

Some time later, Hans Landa sees his corpse, and upon seeing his Lieutenant First Class uniform, sarcastically remarks that he moved up in the world, despite his "record of insubordination".

In a flashback we see Stiglitz, Hirschberg and Donowitz wearing Wehrmacht uniforms taken from killed soldiers, ambushing a German squad in their car, and mowing them down with MP40s. Hugo Stiglitz is quiet, and doesn't seem to enjoy social interaction. He is a German who hates Nazism and Nazis. He seems to get along with the Basterds as he is seen laughing with them and cheering Donny on when he's using his bat. Hugo also seems to have a personal hatred for the Nazis based on a flash back showing him being tortured by one prior to his enlistment.

Hugo Stiglitz was portrayed by Til Schweiger. Til Schweiger was given a choice of roles - either Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz or Sgt. Wilhelm Wicki. He chose the former.
