Weapons and Equipment
Kroenen's comics version is a fairly ordinary scientist, who seems to possess some surgical training.
In the original script for Hellboy, the young Professor Bruttenholm describes Kroenen as "one of the Reich's top scientists, and head of the Thule Occult Society." In the film release, the line was re-dubbed so that the first phrase was replaced by "Hitler's top assassin."
In his initial appearance, while wearing an SS uniform, Kroenen wields a Luger P08 pistol against the attacking U.S. soldiers, and then a pair of Katara (कटार)-like daggers that extend from the sleeves of his trench coat.
In his later appearances, he wields a pair of tonfa-style swords, and also has several other daggers strapped to his suit.
Kroenen is also briefly seen in his workshop, which includes a whole array of disturbing gadgets, along with several different versions of his gas mask.
Several times in Hellboy II, Kroenen's battered gasmask can be seen in a display case along with a golden mask that resembles the head of Sammael.
