You do know that Robert Clary, who played the part of Cpl Louis LeBeau, was a concentration camp survivor, right? Evidently he thought that the idea of a TV show whose premise was ridiculing the Nazis was pretty funny.

The one where Hogan and Klink go to England, and steal a Mustang. Somehow, they fit Klink behind the seat for the flight back to Germany.

Definitely the best one is the time that Hogan convinces Klink that the "heavy water" that the Germans are transporting to their nuclear testing site will grow hair back on his head.   Guess how much water made it to the testing?  

Or any of the episodes with Major Hofstetter.    "KLINK, WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!!!!!!!!!"

New prisoner comes in. he is shown the tunnels and other stuff. turns out he is a spy for Halksteader

My favorite is when F-Troop stan peed a heard of cattle through the camp and Wild Eagle scalps Sgt. Schultz

then Col. Klink falls from the baloooooon and lands on Arnold the pig























I think

That is a good one.. They move all the tunnels or close them down, then they spy gets in trouble.

I know. Including my family. Amazes me. Sgt Schultz basically knowing nothing was a nod to the guys running the extermination.

It was probably so horrific that the only thing you could do to get your head around it was make the nazis into clowns.

In retrospect i don't think it's remotely amusing.


The weirdest part is that they took an amazing drama and turned it into a tv comedy.

My dad watched it when I was younger. I loved the show, but I have never thought about it in the entire context of WWII till this thread.

Can you imagine that in this day and age?

My dad loved that show!  And boy he hated Nazis...  Only episode I remember strangely enough is where Klink is pestering Hogan about plans for the "Norton".  Apparently it was a bomb sight and Hogan gave him plans for a Norton vacuum cleaner.  Hilarity ensued.

I liked the episode where Hogan and Klink were defusing a bomb in the exercise yard.  Hogan asked which wire to cut, black or white.  Klink said white, and Hogan cut the black one.

When Klink asked why, Hogan said "I don't know which one to cut, but I knew you'd be wrong."

Loved that show as a kid.

Both Werner Klemperer and John Banner were Jewish and only agreed to play the roles if the Nazis were always portrayed as the losers and clowns.  Oddly enough, Hilda was married to Bob Crane.  Loved the show.  I think Clary is still alive, the only major cast member.  Also, Bernard Fox is still kicking.  He played Crittendom and Dr Bombay on Bewitched.

The one where they do stuff behind Colonel Klink's back while he is totally oblivious to their shenanigans, while Sgt. schultz pretends to know nothing about it so he doesn't get in trouble and in the end the POWs help the allied war efffort and Klink looks like a fool... That's the best one.

Where they put up an antenna on the guard tower, then have to tilt it 4 inches and the whole camp leans while the guard in the tower wonders why his tower is tilting.
When LeBeau is inside the little minature tank.
Lots of great episodes. I can't remember my favorite.
The guy who played Klink was Jewish and would only play a Nazi if his character was always made a fool of and NEVER came out looking good in any episode.






Remember, this was only about 20-25 years after WWII. It was still very fresh in people's minds, it'd be like making a comedy about the Gulf War nowadays.





People had much more of a sense of humor back then.

Check out Werner Klemperer on Youtube in Judgment at Nuremburg. He's a Nazi Prosecutor that's put on trial. A very good movie from 1961 with Spencer Tracy, and a young William Shatner
