{{Character_infobox |name = Major Hoess |rank = Major (SS-Sturmbannfuehrer) |image = [[File:Hoess.jpg|220px]] |affiliations = I SS Panzer Korps |birth = Before 1920 (given rank) |death = 1944, Ramelle, Normandy, France}} '''Major Hoess''' was a German Major who served for the I SS Panzer Corps, during {{w|World War Two}}. He served as the secondary antagonist in the film, ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]'', leading the company who attacked the town of [[Ramelle]]. ==Biography== Major Hoess (Markus Napier) commanded a German unit that launched an attack on June 13th, 1944 that was intended to capture the French bridge at the town of [[Ramelle]] from a mixed unit of [[Ramelle Defenders|American Rangers and paratroopers]]. Although the Germans were successful in driving the Allied troops across the bridge that spanned the Merderet River, Hoess' [[Tiger Tank]] was destroyed by a [[P-51 Mustang]] that was part of an advancing force of American troops that turned the tide of the battle. ==Trivia== *Although the German officer that commands Tiger tank 232 was not specifically named in the movie, he was the only high profile German officer in the film, so it is more than likely that the tank commander is Major Hoess given this was based on the Second World War. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:SPR- Markus Napier as SS officer.jpg|Hoess directing a German soldier Hoess.jpg </gallery> [[Category:Soldiers]] [[Category:Officer]] [[Category:Minor Characters]] [[Category:Characters]] [[Category:German Soldiers]] [[Category:Deceased characters]] [[Category:Death by explosion]]
