Career
Career
Blech was born in Darmstadt, Germany in 1915 during World War I. After Adolf Hitler and the Nazis took over Germany in 1933 Blech was conscripted into the Feldgendarmerie in 1941. He served in the army and fought on the Eastern Front until the end of World War II, where he may have acquired his facial scars. Another possible origin of his scars was a car accident on the Darmstadt Luisenplatz when Blech was 14 years old. After four years on the Russian Front, he remained in Soviet captivity until 1947. He made his English-language film debut in the 1951 film Decision Before Dawn. In this as in many of his other Hollywood films, he played a German soldier. He had prominent roles in the 1962 World War II blockbuster films The Longest Day, Morituri (1965), Battle of the Bulge (1965) and The Bridge at Remagen (1969).
