Dieter Hellstorm

Hellstrom was born in Germany, and appears to be in his late 30s. He is a Major in the Gestapo, serving in the Third Reich, and if his claims are to be taken seriously, he's responsible for all the officers currently stationed in France, knowing all the officers and Staff Sergeants stationed there. He is also responsible for organizing the security detail for the movie premiere of the Nation's Pride along with col. Hans Landa.Hellstrom often appears to be something of a counter-ego to the courteous Hans Landa, acting like a stereotypical Nazi officer in foreigners' perception. Unlike the Colonel, Hellstrom behaves brashly, as when he rudely orders Emmanuelle Mimieux to enter the car, before bluntly shoving her into it. However, after arriving at the restaurant, he pours her champagne, pretentiously, to appear well-mannered in front of Goebbels.

Later at the tavern, he abused his rank as a Major to take Hugo Stiglitz's seat at Bridget von Hammersmark's table. When Cpt. Hicox confronted him on his intrusion, Hellstrom quickly dismissed Hicox's objection, stating that he only intruded if the Fräulein (Hammersmark) said so.

Hellstrom is very perspicacious, as he quickly noticed Cpt. Hicox's unusual German accent and the group's constant yelling and questioning them. He appeared to accept the Captain’s made-up story for a while (although this was likely a trick to calm the spies down) before picking up on the latter's identity as a spy. When Hellstrom did realize the truth, his attitude turned completely, calling Hammersmark a "slut" when she tried to cover for Hicox. Notably, when he sits down, he slaps Stiglitz in the back, possibly to put a salt-in-the-wound insult in his bitterness/

Dieter Hellstrom seems to enjoy music, reading, and solitude, as was seen when Wilhelm was enjoying his celebrations, he was sitting in silence in a private booth, drinking beer, reading a book, and listening to a gramophone record.man black hair
