This guy is in that Lee Marvin, Jimmy Stewart, Audie Murphy vein of "movie stars who were actually badasses in real life"... this guy was a Nazi spyhunting swashbuckler of the highest ****ing order.
Just read this to see what an incredible guy he was, he was faaar more than dracula in some bad horror movie or Count Duku.
