- ―German Woman Soldier "Beethoven"
German soldier (Beethoven) is a minor unnamed character in Inglourious Basterds (2009). She was one of Wilhelm's buddies from the La Louisiane tavern in French village of Nadine.
Biography[]
She was born in Germany. After joining the Wehrmacht during WWII, she rose to the rank of Sergeant. She eventually got transferred to the Western front, in France.
In Inglourious Basterds[]
Chapter Four - OPERATION KINO[]
She is seen in the La Louisiane tavern, celebrating the birth of Wilhelm's son with her comrades. She seems to have no trouble putting her comrades in their place, as she at one point chokes and friendly squeezes another soldier's nose to amuse Mathilda, much to the former's irritation.
During the firefight she shoots Stiglitz twice with her gun, who turns and shoots her a few times, killing her.
Trivia[]
- There were no female soldiers in the Third Reich, except of helpers for AA guns, medical orderlies, and aircraft mechanics in the Luftwaffe.
- During the firefight, the female German shoots Stiglitz only once in the back, but in the next shot he's seen with multiple bullet wounds (though it's possible the other bullets may have been ricochets). Stiglitz also shoots the woman twice, but instead four bullet wounds appear on her shirt.
Behind the scenes[]
She was played by Petra Hartung.
