Hardy Krüger Autographs
Hardy Krüger (German: ⓘ; born Eberhard August Franz Ewald Krüger; 12 April 1928 – 19 January 2022) was a German actor and author who appeared in more than 60 films from 1944 onwards. After becoming a film star in Germany in the 1950s, Krüger increasingly turned to roles in international films such as The One That Got Away (1957), Hatari!, Sundays and Cybèle (both 1962), The Flight of the Phoenix (1965), Battle of Neretva, The Secret of Santa Vittoria, The Red Tent (all 1969), Barry Lyndon (1975), A Bridge Too Far (1977), and The Wild Geese (1978).
Hardy Krüger was born in Wedding, Berlin, in 1928, the son of Max and Auguste (Meier) Krüger. Krüger's parents were ardent Nazis and he stated in a 2016 interview that he was "raised to love Hitler." From 1941, he attended an elite Adolf Hitler School at the Ordensburg Sonthofen. At the age of 15, Hardy made his film debut in Alfred Weidenmann's The Young Eagles. According to Krüger, it was here that he met the eminent actor Hans Söhnker. Söhnker was a covert anti-Nazi, who gave refuge to those fleeing the regime. Krüger claimed that Söhnke made a point of educating him and that he assisted his friend with delivering messages to fugitives.
In March 1945, Krüger was assigned to the 38th SS Grenadier Division Nibelungen and was drawn into heavy combat. Krüger stated that he, at that time 18 years old, was ordered to shoot at an American squad. According to him refused and was sentenced to death for cowardice, but another SS officer apparently countermanded the order. Krüger described this experience as his break with Nazism. He afterwards served as a messenger for the SS, but stated that he later escaped and hid out in Tyrol until the end of the war. Hardy was captured and taken prisoner by U.S. forces but attempted to escape three times, the third time successfully. He was a member of the Amadeu Antonio Foundation and frequently spoke publicly against extremism and for democracy, citing his own experiences.
