hey. hans pulls ulrich (and henry) out from underneath a horse. a stunned adult man out from under a fully saddled dead warhorse. we can argue about exactly how pinned Henry was: it's kind of difficult to determine, but he appears flattened up to roundabout the knees given the camera angle and lack of any leg use when Hans is dragging him free. ulrich was properly wedged under there, and even if henry doesn't help, hans gets him out - and does so under gunfire. we can further argue about the probable size of a medieval destrier, but most KCD2 horses are modeled off a typical modern horse next door; in other words, ~1000 lbs of dead animal weight. i personally think we can lay off the ✨princess damsel useless malewife twink✨ flavor of gleeful disdain for women & gay men when we discuss this story. And I'm pretty sure that's not just me
I personally think a lot of it is adrenaline, not that Hans isn't strong. He's definitely strong, strutting around in plate armour that casually and weilding a longsword one handed takes some mad gains, but fearing for your own and your best friend's life, would add to it. I don't think Henry could pull a grown man out from under a dead horse without being off his head on adrenaline, either. Whether this adds or subtracts from the validity of how individual writers and artists choose to characterise him, I will not comment on.
