Bernd Wittneben
Bernd got involved with Reveille out of pure lucky coincidence after his friend Jörg Rochlizer got him hooked on the project.
He came on board as an advisor to assist with the translation of the script and with the casting and training of the actors playing
the German characters. Soon, however, it became clear that Bernd—a native of Braunschweig, Germany
and a former member of the German Border Patrol—embodied the role of Walter Brander,
the eldest German soldier. In fact, his nickname quickly became “Die alte Mann” (the old man).
Bernd has a Master’s Degree in Water Landscaping and owns a landscaping business in Wellsburg, Iowa,
