His is name is Kurt NOT Erich so can someone change the name please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.79.154.144 (talk) 12:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
When he called his wife in season 8 episode 1 when she couldn't figure out who it was he said "It's me, Erich". When did they say his name is Kurt? Dr. Stantz (talk)
He says indeed Erik or Erich, whatever on the phone, and in the last episode Gruber also calls him Erich. Though I do seem to remember Hans calling him uncle Kurt in one episode Nychus (talk) 05:15, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, just seen the relevant moment on the tellybox: he definitely calls himself Erich. And he's not happy with his wife's gardener. Longwayround (talk) 16:22, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A google search within the BBC UK website has no mention of "Erich von Strohm" but 101 mentions of "Kurt von Strohm". On the webpage for the show, this is the official name given for Colonel von Strohm.
Von Strohm himself, says Erik. Gruber, at the end of the last episode, says Erik, loud and clear, without any doubt. What some reviewer writes can easaly be a typo, I think that the script writers and the actor will know the background of the character best. My guess would be that Hans Gering's mentioning of 'uncle Kurt' is a reference to another person, used as nickname for von Strohm. And by the way, Erich is the first name of von Klinkerhoffen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.31.227.25 (talk) 21:43, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
