Lieutenant Hubert Gruber, generally known only as Lieutenant Gruber, is a fictional character from the British sitcom series 'Allo 'Allo! and is portrayed by Guy Siner. Gruber is an armoured car driver, and the rest of the cast often calls his vehicle "Gruber's little tank".
Gruber, although never quite admitting it directly, is gay, and has an obvious crush on René. He often finds René in embarrassing situations, for example by walking into a room and catching René in his underpants. Nevertheless, in the last episode of the series, we discover that Lieutenant Gruber has married Helga, with whom he has had six children after the war.
Gruber is assistant to General Von Klinkerhoffen, and lives in the local château.

See what the boys in the backroom will have,
and tell them I order the same.
See what the boys in the backroom will have,
and give me the poison they name.
And when I die, don't waste my money,
with flowers or my picture in a frame.
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,
and tell them I sighed...
and tell them I cried...
and tell them I died of the same!
