Role In Downfall
Edit
Tellermann was overseeing the evacuation of Schenck's building. Schenck came outside to protest, saying that the food supply will colapse, and the soldiers will take food from the civilians when the fighting will spread all over the city. Tellermann says it's an order from the Führer. Schenck then tell him that while as a department head respons to SS and Himmler, he is also a doctor in the Wehrmacht, and they're not leaving yet. Tellermann says that the proffesor can stay in Berlin and orders to get him the proper papers. He then departs with his group of soldiers through the parked cars and trucks.
Tellermann was played by the German actor Veit Stübner.
In Downfall Parodies
Edit
In KakashiBallZ's parody Hitler and Fegelein Join Forces To Take On Constantin Films he is present at Downfall Parodies Headquarters to oversee the destruction of the Downfall parody manuscripts, after bein hired by Constantin Film. Schenck tries to stop them, invoking fair use. Tellermann responds by saying that Constantin Films has copyrights to this film. Schenck responds him that they're used for non-profit motives. Tellermann insists. Schenck tells him he'll call the lawyers, and Tellermann orders that all destruction be stopped.
