Wolfgang Kortzfleisch Hoss
- "Und dann beginnen wir mit dem Meteor-Blitzkrieg und fegen alle diese Untermenschen von der Erdkarte."
- ―Wolfgang Kortzfleisch[src]
Wolfgang Kortzfleisch was the Führer and Chancellor of the Fourth Reich on the Dark Side of the Moon. He was in charge of Schwarze Sonne base. He was in power for as long as most of the inhabitants can remember - he was one of the very few still alive who had been born on Earth.
Personality
Kortzfleisch appears very restrained and self-possessed. He only seems to care about his will being fulfilled, and can get rather high tempered if something goes wrong. He has an addiction for chocolate, as he is seen eating it in various parts of the movie. When his generals arrive at his room to tell him that the Nazi invasion force is ready, dozens of emptied chocolate wrappings can be seen on his table. He also appears to have a sadistic nature and seems rather joyful when the Meteorblitzkrieg is about to begin. He's also very irritated whenever Klaus Adler salutes Hitler instead of him.
Death
After arriving to Earth for the invasion, Kortzfleisch was shot several times with a machine gun by Vivian Wagner. He later crawls to the roof to try and stop Klaus Adler from overthrowing him. Klaus punches him on the forehead and he falls to the ground, unconscious, and is believed to be dead afterwards.
His death is however not certain as he is confirmed to make a return in Iron Sky: The Coming Race. Whether it is his actual appearance or a flashback is not confirmed.
Behind the scenes
- Wolfgang Kortzfleisch is played by Udo Kier in Iron Sky. In the movie, he wears the uniform of the Reichsführer-SS.
