He was in a huge number of excellent movies, though often typecast as a German soldier. Played against stereotype in Hatari!.

So, I didn’t realize that Meat Loaf was a Covidiot.

The report from TMZ said he had “been outspoken about COVID, railing with folks in Australia recently about vaccine mandates,” but that his vaccination status wasn’t clear. Last year, he promoted an anti-lockdown song from Eric Clapton and Van Morrison on his Facebook page

One story from the making of Hatari! that I found interesting is that Krüger who had attended an “Adolf Hitler School”, an elite nazi boarding school in a castle like some fucking comic book villain was aghast at how right-wing John Wayne was.

Yes, later in life he became an outspoken advocate against extremism:

KrĂźger came to despise the Nazis when he was still a 16-year-old soldier, a brave split from his background.

Also interesting is that the filming location for Hatari! was where KrĂźger lived, a farm in Tanzania he had owned for a couple of years.
