Colonel Kurt von Strohm is a main character in the BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo!, which ran from 1982 to 1992. He was played by the actor Richard Marner in all episodes of the show. Strohm is a German army officer with the rank of Colonel, which translates the rank of Oberst in the Wehrmacht. He is the town Commandant in Nouvion, France, and often visits the Café René with his assistant Captain Hans Geering and his secretary Private Helga Geerhart. In the later series, after Geering goes missing, Strohm mostly comes to the café with Lieutenant Gruber. In some episodes, Strohm appears with Captain Alberto Bertorelli of the Italian Army, until the departure of Roger Kitter, who played Borelli. In the last such episode, René reveals that the Italians have withdrawn from the war.
