Yet I’m sure he’d never have thought of himself as heroic.
After reading about him, I find ‘hero’ is well defined as someone who does not give up or give in.

I just got done wathing the DVD with my almost 13 year-old son. The lannguage was a bit rough for our household (a lot of use of the word sh*& - but my wife was out!) but the violence wasn’t too terrible. Torture and some shooting/killing but not very graphic.
It was a bit slow I thought (thinking of my 13 year old) and more of an adult movie creating the characters, motivation, etc. but my son didn’t get bored and loved the movie too, which surprised me a bit.
The thing that made Deiter a hero is because HE DID SOMETHING! I don’t think I give anything away as obviously he is rescued, and his “words of wisdom” (at least in the movie) are:
“Empty what is full,
Fill what is empty......
...
...
And scratch where it itches”
Now I have to read the book!
