No, Karl just wonders about why Hans would give him an order like that one. That's why Gruber repeats the order aloud after Karl hesitates.

@DasIstPandastisch Aha, genial xD

@htews But this structure like "Karl! Fenster!" should not be a stereotype of evil persons. I sometimes use this structure of "Karl! Fenster!", too. For example I often say "Dennis! Taschenrechner!" (Taschenrechner means calculator) if I need his calculator and I forgot mine. And I'm not evil at all xD

But you're completely right, a short "Fenster!" would've been enough to make Karl understand as well ;)

[htews]

Considering the German fondness for effectiveness and taking into regard the Hollywood stereotype on evil Germans in combat situations, a simple "KARL! FENSTER!" would have sufficed. :)

@SeverusSnapeFan2 lame

@NazcarFanatic24 :)

"Das" in this case is correct, but then he´d better say "Zerschiess das Fenster!"

Adding the "zer" makes it clear that the window is destroyed after the shooting at it.

German really must suck for non native speakers... :I

[indierocker1970]

Funny, how many non native speakers make a wrong sentence even worse!

[NazcarFanatic24]

I believe its supposed to be "Shiess DAS Fenster"

[Tysto]

I like to think that Hans just isn't completely fluent in German. Maybe his family moved to England when he was 8 or something. After all, his brother in Die Hard 3 has an English accent too.
