Klaus Hergersheimer

This is a topic devoted to the story behind your avatar. Or a story you can just make up about it.
Klaus Hergersheimer is a relatively minor character in Diamonds Are Forever (Eon Productions, 1971). Personally it's my least favorite Bond movie, but Klaus the lowly scientist was still very humble in allowing the famous British secret agent to sneak right into the top secret laboratory after he claimed to be a new employee there. Simple, but effective, piggybacking off of him through they keycard entry. Klaus then regales him with the enthralling story of G Section, and the importance of checking radiation shields. Because, frankly, radiation shields aren't going to check themselves. Despite what simpler minds would have us believe. He even gives Bond a radiation tag to warn him of any such leaks, which Bond openly admits makes him feel much safer with it on. (Eat your heart out, Q Branch!)
Bond is so impressed by the hidden unique knowledge of G Section that he uses it to bluff his way even further into the lab, claiming to be poor Klaus himself, so he can get a peek at the diamond laser satellite thing. Not to forget good old Klaus, though, the intrepid spy tells the oblivious staffers questioning him: "We may not be as important as the other sections, but we do have our orders." A comment I'm sure that would've made the diligent Klaus happy.
When Bond is finished snooping, the real Klaus stumbles in right after in order to...you guessed it...check on those radiation shields!! And the staffers find out that they have been bamboozled, their famed G Section having been thoroughly infiltrated. When the alarm sounds, instead of admitting to his outright plagiarism of G Section's fine work, Bond has the unmitigated gall to steal a moon rover and escape the laboratory with it.
I don't know where Klaus is now, but I'm sure if he had the chance, he would give that imposter a lesson in radiation without any shielding and see how he likes it. And there's no amount of courting beautiful women by poolsides or gunning down henchmen in matching jumpsuits that could get him out of it.
