Werner Klemperer played Col. Klink so damn well. His facial expressions and mannerisms were so on point for the role. He deserved Emmy's for each year he played him.
Frank Mayes I hope you will reply to this in 1982 I met Werner Klemperer when he came to Houston and read Peter and the Wolf with the Houston symphony orchestra
@@ashcarrier6606 Ran 6 seasons. 1965-1971. It was still a top 10 show, but CBS, in their infinite wisdom, canceled the show. I wish CBS allowed one more season or even half a season to have a series finale where the war ends and all is revealed to Klink (Schultz pretty much knew what was going on, but he knew NOTHING!!!).
Marty Howe I hope you will reply to this I met Werner Klemperer in 1982 when he read Peter and the Wolf with the Houston Symphony terrific huh?????????
@@sherryhannah9262 That is awesome! He seems to have had two very different interests/talents. By watching Hogan's Heroes, you would never know he was a classical music aficionado, other than to the references in the show where he attempts to play violin.
After Klink tells off Hochstetter, watch Schultz in the background. He's looking at Klink like "Are you crazy?! You DO remember he's in the Gestapo, right?"
I remember watching this show as a kid and I remember this particular episode because I thought it felt good to see Klink stand up to Hochstetter just once lol.
I was a kid when it aired on TV in prime time. I always wondered why Klink was afraid of Hochstetter since Klink was a colonel and Hochstetter was just a major. I knew Hochstetter was Gestapo, but I didn't realize the influence and power of the Gestapo at the time. It was nice to see that General Burkhalter didn't cower to Hochstetter like Klink did.
How does a show have bad guys that you sort of root for? People you want to see lose but not be hurt too badly at the same time. Klink was like that and I definitely agree with you sentiment.
I watched these reruns as a kid in the mid/late 70s and enjoyed it, but now many years later as an adult and watching this show again it is MUCH funnier now.
I saw the reruns on 'oldies' channels in the 90's then in 2009-2011 I got really into them and binged the show. My dad also loved the show when he was a kid. They don't make them like they used to.
I love the reruns of this show.You really need knowledge of WWII history to appreciate all the satire, which is what it was. I thought it was tastefully done. And every once in. a while they'd drop in an episode to let you know just how horrible the war and the Nazis actually were.
You would notice on the show, many ordinary Germans actually hated the Nazis. They rather help Hogan instead. Even the dog trainer who supplied the camp's guard dogs was helping Hogan.
I swear the first time I saw this episode where Colonel Klink falls back into Col. Hogan when Carter says, "YOOUU KLINK" made me laugh so hard I peed on myself. I've seen all of the episodes and I can't remember a scene like this one where Col. Hogan and Col. Klink are together where Hogan doesn't say a word during the whole scene.
Actually, Klink as boss would have been bad for the Allies. Hitler kept interfering with his generals and hampered their efforts. Klink would be too stupid to understand what they were doing, so they could have ignored him.
Klink's reference to a delousing station is interesting. That suggests he knew about things that were happening in the East. I believe that is the sole reference to the Holocaust in the entire series.
There is another episode involving a new sergeant hired by Klink who is a massive stickler for regulations, that mentions in passing how his father was in a labor camp in East Prussia at the time.
There are delousing stations in American prisons. I don’t think that was indicative of the Final Solution. Now if he has said he’d be swept into the ashheap of history …
Has anyone else noticed that 3 actors on this show impersonated Hitler, Larry Hovis of course both by voice and physically. Also Richard Dawson and Ivan Dixon both impersonated Hitler by voice.
LOL I could only imagine what Himmler's side of the phone conversation would have been like after Klink addressed him so casually. In real life Klink would have been lucky if ALL that happened to him was being sent to the Russian Front.
@@garganrose Klink, like Schultz, was not a career military man. Klink was a book keeper prior to the war and Schultz was the owner of a wealthy German toy company. Neither of them liked the Nazis or what they represented.
@@AlanSmitheeman yeah I remember in the episode war takes a holiday. Find out about Klink being a bookkeeper and I believe Schultz owned what was called the Schatzi toy company.
@@garganrose Correct. Of course, in real life, Schultz, being a wealthy toy manufacturer, would not have been relegated to a mere sergeant in some POW camp. Rather, the Nazis would have had him retool his toy company to manufacture arms or ammunition for the war effort. Had he refused, I suppose he would have been drafted into the army. Maybe he did and that's why he was there. Would have made a great back story.

He actually did...I believe he won 2 or 3..

@@sherryhannah9262 WOW! You were so lucky to have met such a fine actor. I envy you.
@@thisendthat have a regret I didn’t get his autograph
Werner Klemperer played Klink to the hilt. Facial expressions, mannerisms, & delivery are all priceless.
And if memory serves that's why he won 2 or 3 Emmies for his role as Kink..
@@pallen49 And the show ran for like 9 seasons.

I Love How Klink Struts Away After Ordering Hochstetter Arrested!!
One of the best TV shows of all time. Nothing today even comes close.
After Klink tells off Hochstetter, watch Schultz in the background. He's looking at Klink like "Are you crazy?! You DO remember he's in the Gestapo, right?"
LOL oh I know!
My grandfather introduced this to me and my brother. RIP Jan 2017

"When are we going to Berlin, Mein Fuhrer?" "Forget IT!!!!"
It's very unbecoming of a gentleman to break a woman's heart like that.
Especially one who happens to be his secretary.
such a great skit! Way things were going at times during the war, this was plausible LOL- Carter does a great voice-
This was gold. Amazing acting by Mr. Klemperer. As always.

It is unfortunate that we are apparently unable to view complete episodes! These clips merely whet one's appetite!
@@CrazyRev RIP Little Oggie channel. It was really nice while it lasted, I miss the comments sections.
I love these old shows they are what you call good entertainment Classic Movies that have lasted throughout decades
Snow on the ground, and green leaves on the tree. Ah, that crazy German weather... :-)
Such an amazing cast.they are underated..they made a great show about a serious and sensitive subject and made it funny and great..

Imagine Col. Wilhelm Klink as Führer. The implications...😌
Imagine Donald trump as president. The implications…
Oh wait…
MatchstalkMan I was waiting for someone to bring politics into this. Looks like I didn’t have to wait long. And btw, the implications are great.
The war would have been over in 1 week.

Or that he was simply saying he'd have him executed
In a cartoony way
There is another episode involving a new sergeant hired by Klink who is a massive stickler for regulations, that mentions in passing how his father was in a labor camp in East Prussia at the time.
Every POW camp at the time had a delousing station, it wasn’t exclusive to extermination/concentration camps.

My favorite part of this clip is exactly at 2:39!
I know nuthinks !
Which episode is it?
You mention the episode plot but neglect to site the episode season and number as well as the episode title.
What season was this?
Season 2, E 22 entitled "Heil Klink."
@@ShatnerMethod Thank you so much
"You are mad, Klink!" Yes, mad with delusions of grandeur 🤣🤣🙄
You have to admit it.
Larry Hovis did a really out standing Hitler!!!!!
The voice in this episode.
And
The two he was wearing Hitler's uniforms!!!!
Look at the brass balls on him as he walks away looking smug not knowing he got played like a damn fiddle!
The irony was that at the time a TV show like this that depicts war was still rated for general audiences.
Bob married that blond secretary.
Funny thing is ,this is just the kind of stunt the little house painter would pull
I wonder if Klink would have been willing to carry out the final solution.
Not at all. He probably didn't even know it existed.
@@AlanSmitheeman I know if he found out about it he probably would’ve been willing to commit treason.

What have you done now
Klink is always getting played by Hogan and his man so many times.
Carter does a great job at imitating Hitler
So funny ... a prime example of power going to the weak minded lol
🤣
❤🇲🇾
I hope y’all will reply to this did the Germans really say Heil Hitler before hanging up the phone?????????
De-lousing?
The dude who ain't speakin' looks like Captain Boomerang.
