The guys are the same and heres how:
Notice the missing helmet. When he kills Mellish he loses his helmet and in the end he says "Upham" and has no helmet on. You can tell by the look Upham gives him. They let him go after he killed Wade and he killed men from his squad again. The way the whole scene is set up. Just because they are wearing different uniforms doesnt mean jack. He got a new one. Its obviously him because of the irony in the story. They let him go only to let him kill again, and Upham finally gets up the courage to kill when he sees him kill Miller. Its obviously the same person.

Who made up the name "Steamboat Willy" for that guy?

ninty · 11-20-2002, 05:06 PM

He did him self. When hes digging the grave he talks about steam boat willie. Toot toot! Hence the name.

Airborne Butters · 11-20-2002, 05:10 PM

I thought you were talking about the guy in the end that upham shot. He was the guy in the field that they let go, and he was picked up by the SS and thats why he is wearing a uni.

"Steamboat Willie"

Sometime before June 13th, 1944, this German soldier (Joerg Stadler) was manning a machine gun nest located beneath a bombed-out radar station somewhere in the Normandy region of France. The emplacement was attacked by a small squad of Rangers, and only one of the Germans survived. Having lost their medic in the assault, the Rangers treated their prisoner harshly. Forced to dig graves for the medic, as well as paratroopers who had earlier been killed by the machine gun, the German struck up friendly conversation with Corporal Upham, who had been assigned to the Rangers to translate. When the Rangers returned with arms in hand and blank stares on their faces, the German expected the worst and frantically began pleading for his life in German and in what little English words and phrases he knew. Drug off and blindfolded, the German was told to walk towards a nearby field and turn himself over to the nearest Allied unit he encountered. Most of the Rangers had wanted to execute the German, but their commanding officer, Captain John Miller, had prevented them from murdering a prisoner. Fortunately for the German, he was found by his own forces and integrated into a Waffen-SS unit. This unit later participated in an attack on the French village of Ramelle, at which time the German soldier encountered the Rangers once again. As Rangers and 101st Airborne paratroopers retreated across the Merderet River, the soldier took aim and killed a Ranger. The man he shot was Captain Miller, the one who had sparred his life earlier. A short time later the German and his comrades were surprised when an American solider, Corporal Upham, appeared from behind their position with a rifle trained on them. Silencing the Germans attempt to make conversation, Upham fired his first shot of the war and killed the former prisoner.

No. Their talking about between Mellish getting killed and when steamboat shot miller. The dude was saying he killed mellish then changed his clothes and then shot miller.

DeadBolt · 11-20-2002, 05:20 PM

Yea I was wrong. I just watched it and the guy who kills Mellish has the SS Bolt like you said, and I noticed the other guy has the Infantry Bolt. My Bad.

They wouldnt have wasted the time to give him the Uniform and kit of a waffen ss soldier in 6 hours between the attack on the radar station and the town. ALso he may have spent 1-2 hours wandering around france so thats even less time. Steamboat Wilhelm also clearly has a butt chin, so unless the SS gave him some plastic surgery he couldn't have a regular chin like the SS dude who stabs mellish.
