He made his English film debut in the 1951 picture Decision Before Dawn. In this and many of his other Hollywood films, he played a German soldier. He had a prominent role in the 1962 World War 2 blockbuster film, The Longest Day. He served in the German Army and fought on the Eastern Front in World War II, where he may have acquired his facial scars. Another possible origin of his scars was a car accident on the Darmstadt Luisenplatz when Blech was 14 years old.

gollark: No, YAML giant and horrendous.
gollark: HTML would also be shipped this way instead of its accursed custom inconsistent parsing.
gollark: Oh, and if I were entirely redesigning the web more, HTTP would lose the weird case-insensitivity thing too. And maybe just work using JSON or some JSON-equivalent (well, we're using Lua here, so stricter Lua table syntax) instead of being a custom textual protocol.
gollark: News sites: they have a few kilobytes of text a page. They do not need to download megabytes of JS to render that, because the HTML renderer is perfectly good.
gollark: This is in fact something HTML is capable of.
