German Commander

From the only original and legitimate Battlestar Wiki: the free-as-in-beer, non-corporate, open-content encyclopedia, analytical reference, and episode guide on all things Battlestar Galactica. Accept neither subpar substitutes nor subpar clones.
Curt Lowens as a German Gestapo Colonel, although he is credited as "German Commander" (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III").

A character credited as "German Commander", despite his rank being revealed in the dialogue as "Colonel", is seen leading the Gestapo into the Resistance Leader's bookstore. After the Gestapo disarm and remove everyone in the building (that they can see anyway), one of the invisible Warriors causes the Colonel's gun to go off while in the holster, shooting him in the leg (or foot). This results in a noticeable limp.

Later, the Gestapo Colonel is seen behind the other Colonel as General Yodel comes to see the V-2 rocket that Xaviar designed (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II").

After the debacle, the Colonel is seen in the train station yard as they load Jews and other dissidents into box cars. He reacts furiously when he sees (but apparently cannot believe) that flying bikes are attacking the train yard; this diversion allows Jamie Hamilton and Major Stockwell to extricate the innocent people from the box cars (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III").

The German Commander is played by Curt Lowens.
