Major William Wilner
Major Wilner is Field Marschal Kesselring's chief of intelligence. Judging from his reaction when getting waked up in the middle of the night, he is a friendly, helpful and warm person outwards, but privately he is rather cold and judging.
FactsName: William Wilner Rank: Major Nationality: German Actor: Guy Deghy Role description:Small role First appearance: 01:27: (In his bedroom) Background Wilner used to be a teacher. Comments Major Wilner's role in the picture is slightly cut down. In the novel, Smith and Kramer ventilate a lot "those were the days"-memories about him, but that is definitely a part of the novel you would be happier without. It really doesn't matter if Wilner was the favorite teacher of Smith and Kramer - it just feels like plot-twist overkilling by Alistair MacLean. So his appearance in the picture is actually better than the same part in the novel. And Guy Deghy surely looks like the "kind grandfather"-like character described in the novel. Favourite Scene
 Major William Wilner: Major Wilmer speaking. Ja, colonel.Colonel Paul Kramer: Can you describe him? Major William Wilner: That will not be necessary. Ask him to show you his right forearm. Colonel Paul Kramer: May I see your right forearm. Major John Smith: Certainly. Major William Wilner: There are two parallel scares about three centimeters apart. Colonel Paul Kramer: The scares are there. Major William Wilner: Ask, how did he get them. Colonel Paul Kramer: How did you get those? Major John Smith: I was born with them. Colonel Paul Kramer: He says he was born with them. Major William Wilner: That is right. So tell him he's a traitor. Major John Smith: Tell him he's a renegade. Major William Wilner: [laughing] Yaah, that is Schmidt, no question about it. Colonel Paul Kramer: Thank you, major. Major William Wilner: Thank you Colonel and good night. [Wilner turns to his serving officer.] Major William Wilner: Give me the water! User Comments: Gert (2008-05-06)
