One Step Beyond was a brilliant show- it aired when I was a kid- im 66 Werner Klemperer was a highly unappreciated actor- who was really a dramatic performer. He also was a musician, and conductor
He also appeared on the Man From Uncle. "The Project Strigas Affair". Interesting to note that in that same episode both William Shatner AND Leonard Nimoy appeared as well.
Klemperer was one of the many German actor refugees that fled Germany due to the Nazis taking control. And many of them found employment in Hollywood ... playing Nazis. Can you imagine having to flee your home because some assholes take it over, only to find yourself playing such an asshole in the country you flee to?
Werner Klemperer as Klink is a perfect example of Hollywood’s Central Casting with his mannerisms and the required monocle he was perfect his superior General Burqhalter was also right out of Hollywood’s Central Casting .
@@jackkircher1755 So was John (Johann) Banner who played Sgt Shultz. He was born in Austria and moved to the United States. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1942 working in supply and attaining the rank of Sgt. Most of his family died in the holocaust.
@@jackkircher1755 Jack, my sir, when it was pointed out to these cast members from "Hogan's Heroes" who played these German officers that they were Jews, one of them said, "Who better to make fun of the Germans than the Jews?"
@@MegaJustGeorge I read the same interview. Klemperer also stressed that Klink was NOT a Nazi, but, instead a Luftwaffe officer with a thorough dislike of the Party.
I worked with a former diesel boat (submarine) crewman. He said that if a crew member was in a flooding section or on deck after hatches were sealed, ( in an emergency dive) too bad for that guy. The skipper would not risk the boat.
Loved this show. It was one of the first serious attempts at looking at this type of phenomenon in a serious way on tv. Intelligent, charismatic host, researched topics, and good acting and writing made the show a fascinating watch.
There's an old movie about the Holocaust starring both Werner Klemperer and John Banner as members of the SS. I believe it's called The Eichmann Project.
It's nice to know that Werner Klemperer every so now and then had the opportunity to portray a character with some depth and emotion, and not an idiot.
@@TheKazadoodle That's not to say there weren't serious, even weird problems with the series. One I have really noticed lately is the strange code of ethics. In one episode, the boys overpowered some German guards -- possibly SS guards, though I do not remember that detail -- but they only tie them up, rather than knifing them. They run a risk to keep these guards alive. Then they wreck the train, with the implication being that everyone on board dies. They do this kind of thing a lot -- never killing people on screen, but happily blowing up trains, factories, whatever, killing both military and civilians, men and women. It might make sense for them to be squeamish, as good guys; it might be more realistic to see them as ruthless, out of practical necessity. Either way, they should be more CONSISTENT.
I heard Werner made a point of taking roles where he could denigrate nazism even when it meant playing a buffoon. He was a talented comic. It is good to see him in a drama for a change.

I lived through a LARGE part of the 20th century, and ANYONE, who is 20 or older today, only know the 21st century … but they haven’t had the low prices in stores like I did; candy bars at 5 cents, and packs of 5 sticks of gum at 5 cents, like they are supposed to be … 😊
I loved this show as a boy. I was 7-8 and addicted to sci-fi/horror (still am). I watched this and Twilight Zone all by my little self. There was another weekly anthology during the same era called, "Way Out," which used to scare the bejesus outta me!
U-147's third and final patrol began on 24 May 1941. A week later, she torpedoed the British freighter Gravelines northwest of the Bloody Foreland (western Ireland), which broke in two and was declared a total loss; the forward part of the ship was towed to the Clyde and scrapped. On 2 June U-147 encountered convoy OB 239 near the African coast and attacked alone (a decision which historian Clay Blair described as "bold"). She damaged one ship, (Mokambo), before being sunk with all hands by a British destroyer, HMS Wanderer, HMS Periwinkle.
I don't know which is more nostalgic. Seeing Werner Klemperer on the boat or seeing him knocked out with a chop to the neck. ah, the classic knock out chop. Wonderful!
Uh, those "chops" work. I watched my Dad give a strike to a man's neck back in the 1970s. Dropped him like a hot potato. He was trying to rob us on the interstate outside of Dallas, Texas. The man turned his gun on 13 year old me and my Dad hit him somehow on the side of his neck and the guy was out cold. Dad told me to get back on the touring motorcycle he had just bought and we rode in a pouring rain to the first business we came to. We went in and he used a phone to call police. But yes, I saw it myself. I asked Dad how he did that 100 times after that and he would only say, lucky shot I guess, kiddo. I took care of him after he got a type of oxygen depravation dementia. He told me after I began taking care of him never to turn my back on him if he was confused. I never did, not in 10 years. I knew better.
The irony of course is that like many German actors Klemperer had to flee Germany to escape Nazi persecution. Then he made a career out of playing Nazis.
Outstanding production despite the U-boat being much too neat and squared away. These are the closing days of the war. No U-boat would look like it was on its maiden voyage. Das Boot is much more realistic portrayal of the sweat and grime of life aboard a sub-surface boat. But I’m nitpicking. Damn fine acting, esp by Klemper. Story top notch, also. Thanks for sharing.
Good comment about the model boats. But wouldn't say it was "damn fine acting". Typical overacted Hollywood not-quite-there realism that was typical of that era.
Werner Klemperer was born in Cologne, Germany, to a musical family but he said that he had little musical aptitude. His father was renowned conductor Otto Klemperer and his mother was soprano Johanna Geisler. He had a younger sister named Lotte (1923-2003). His father was Jewish by birth; he converted to Catholicism but later returned to Judaism. His mother was Lutheran. His grandfather was part of the Jewish community in Prague, and his grandmother was a Sephardic Jew from Hamburg, Germany.
@@jamesalexander3530 You are a COMPLETE IDIOT, James. David Smith did not say the Germans were the good guys; he says he wishes they were either better people or more easily defeated. If they had been better people they would not have chosen to commit the atrocities that still shock the world; if they had been more easily defeated they would not have had the prisoners to torture or the time to torture them.
May dad was a POW in Germany we used to watch Hogan’s Hero’s, I was young asked him once if the Germans in his camp that funny. He looked at me and said shit no. He told me of all that happened while in prison, I think he was just happy to have made it home.
Great episode, never seen these before. Although U147 was sunk with all hands by HMS Wanderer on 2nd June 1941 off the coast of Ireland. If they’d picked a U boat that had survived, would have put some credibility to the story. Great acting, which is hard to find these days.
If it is possible that this story is even partially true in any way, they used the wrong U-Boat. Look it up, this never happened to U147 as it was sunk June 2, 1941.
For anyone interested in U Boats & WW 2, this is a very good watch-unless the viewer has an ultra strict dismissive attitude to the supernatural of course. Well acted and an impressive story line.

In 1990 I was at the Royal Navy Base at Portsmouth, and got chatting to a civilian Historian. He told the story of the Battleship HMS Warspite, a First World War veteran of the Battle Jutland. She was in for major refit in August 1939, and during checking a bulkhead they found 2 skeletons. They were of two young sailors, who believed to have been washed overboard at Jutland. They checked the RN records and found out both only 16 years old when they passed away.
Paul Leckner, it is actually an incident that has never occurred. No one has been able to find documentation of such an incident, let alone multiple incidents. It is a yarn, a tale, a legend. It is not established fact.
The Warspite was the ship that did huge amounts of damage even though it was tiny and when they tried to scarp it the ship escaped. They were towing it to the scrap yard when the line broke and it floated away. Some time later they found that it had beached itself on some rocks and no matter what they tried they were unable to tow it free and take it to scrap.. The ship never gave up.
Mark Wilko The battleship USS Nevada has a similar story. It was the target ship for the atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll and took a direct hit, but didn’t sink. It was towed to Hawaii to become a radioactive research lab, but broke loose in a storm. She was declared a menace to navigation and hit by two 16 inch shells, 2 torpedoes, and an early guided missile but still didn’t sink. One more 16 inch shell finally put her on the bottom. However..after the ship was sunk, an accounting review found that due to a shortage of copper in the early part of the war, the circuit boards for her main guns, damaged at Pearl Harbor, had been replaced with the next best available conductor: solid 24 karat gold. She took more than $2 million of 1947 value gold to the bottom with her.
True story: A good friend of mine who went to college in D.C. once wandered into a Georgetown bar and there sat Werner Klemperer and John Banner (Sgt. Schultz) hanging out over a couple of beers.
As soon as Werner Klemperer appears in any show, even in a serious role, all the Hogan's Heroes jokes come to the surface!(get it? "come to the surface", like a submarine! LOL)
@Agent J Hmmmm.... it WAS interesting to see Werner Klemperer playing a straight dramatic role, ohne(German for "without") the monocle or the urge to say "diiiiisssssmmmmmiiiiissssseeeeedddd"!
@Agent J My point being there are only odd examples of Klemperer in serious roles. One other that I know of is in the movie "Judgement At Nuremberg". Klemperer has become known for his role as Kommandantur, Col. Klink in "Hogan's Heroes" and that role has overshadowed his serious acting, either in stage, film or TV.
@Agent J: I'm male! My appearance is a result of having to take a substitute tablet to compensate for the missing thyroid gland at my birth in 1955. But I think you're starting to ramble and go off-topic here. The subject was Werner Klemperer playing serious roles when he was best-known for his comedic role as Col. Klink in "Hogan's Heroes".
The banging/knocking reminded me of 'The Tell-Tale Heart.' Another great episode from 'One Step Beyond.' This show used to freak me out when I was a kid, but I loved it, and 'Twilight Zone.'
This series was a great concept - a horror show based on truth! I barely remembered it until I started watching two days ago. Definitely overshadowed by Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits.
I remember seeing several variations of this story. One on the Twilight Zone with an American ship and another in a comic book called Weird War Tales. All, including this one, were very good.
hi there was an avid watcher of the twilight zone but never heard of this show, thanks for uploading its a great show really appreciate you doing this cheers
Something similar happened in the US Navy, I think on the Kitty Hawk. She was going through refit sometime back in the 70s when someone who was looking at the plans realized that there should have been a workspace on the other side of the bulkhead. So they cut through the bulkhead to find a completely equipped machine shop...along with the skeletal remains of two yard workers. Apparently, the two yard workers had been entombed during a prior refit. One would have thought that the supervisor would have noticed a couple of his workers suddenly going missing....
That is incredible! I served in the Navy and suppose should have reported the strange voices coming from the head, crying, "Booo, ass wipes, where's the ass wipes .... booohoo". Very scary stuff.
As is the "tap tap tap" or "knock knock knock" of the "wee" folk if disrespect them ....said be a Norse/Celtic thing like the Knotty Ash Diddymen ....move away or be driven mad ...
I'm an old fart but when I saw this as a kid I didn't sleep for a few nights. Now while I'm a skeptic on these things I've always found this episode haunting.
It's not the first time unknown pounding have been heard. Sometimes in the ships hull. Only to found out years later. When it's going to be scrape only to find humans remains.
Golly. My father served on the carrier Block Island in WWII. It was sunk by a Uboat. In the 1960's, my father had a coworker who had been in a concentration camp. One time we were invited to his home for dinner. Met his wife, who was also in the same camp as her husband. They both had numbers on their arms. They were German Jews.
7:14 🍺 LOL this is a German Drinking Song-back in 1990 I need one credit at UCONN to graduate with Bachelor’s so I took “German Folksongs” on Wednesday afternoons with Professor Lederer (grew up in Germany as a young man during WW II. The class was in a lecture hall and some of the crazier classmates would smuggle in beer and we would literally be drinking in the back whilst singing “Ein Prozeit.” I guess that was the best class as far as fun and I never forgot the song. RIP Professor Lederer-a fun and entertaining man who taught us the Joys of German Drinking Songs.
Knox....I was a military wife in the 70's and my husband was stationed in Augsburg, Germany and we must have hit every beer fest in the area...I remember ein swie stofa(SP). .and the beers were served in liter mugs and the beer fraus would carry 8 mugs of beer at a time.. And one would carry around a bucket with schanopes. It was a mark a shot. Peppermint schanopes was the best,,!!!!Lived in Augsburg 72 to 75.Then Berlin 76 to 78. Great times!!!!

His father was Jewish by birth; he converted to Catholicism but later returned to Judaism. His mother was Lutheran. His grandfather was part of the Jewish community in Prague, and his grandmother was a Sephardic Jew from Hamburg, Germany.
Correct👍
Where was Sergent Schultz ?? He would have said, I hear Nothhhhing
couldn't fit thru hatch !
Made us LOL!!! :)
😂😂😂
smack dabular ....You made this guy who had a bad week smile
@@gusklimt2031 "What is this man doing here?!" Good old Major Hochstetter.
Werner klemperer was a great actor and accomplished violinist
That must be the cleanest submarine ever.
Indeed. Just grateful to not have smell-o-vision.
@@colinstewart1432 No kidding!
Werner Klemper, conductor, classical violinist, superb actor and like his co-star from Hogan's Heroes John Banner, a refugee from Hitler's Germany.
Werner Klemperer 's father Otto Klemperer, was the conductor.
Too bad the real nazis and wehrmact were not as good natured as Klinck and Schultz or dopey as Maj. Hofstadter.
@@DavidSmith-sb2ix Smith? Hmmm, sounds like Herr Schmidt. Are you living in Argentina with Herr Mengele? 🤔 ☺️
@@jamesalexander3530 You are a COMPLETE IDIOT, James. David Smith did not say the Germans were the good guys; he says he wishes they were either better people or more easily defeated. If they had been better people they would not have chosen to commit the atrocities that still shock the world; if they had been more easily defeated they would not have had the prisoners to torture or the time to torture them.

Werner was an outstanding actor.
Good story. Also an good allegory about the relationship between the German High Command and the UBoat service.
Well THAT sure as heck was an unexpected ending!
(And Werner Klemperer was underrated as an actor IMO)
Really cool to recognize Werner Klemperer before having to check the description.
RIP, Colonel Klink.
May dad was a POW in Germany we used to watch Hogan’s Hero’s, I was young asked him once if the Germans in his camp that funny. He looked at me and said shit no. He told me of all that happened while in prison, I think he was just happy to have made it home.
Great episode, never seen these before. Although U147 was sunk with all hands by HMS Wanderer on 2nd June 1941 off the coast of Ireland. If they’d picked a U boat that had survived, would have put some credibility to the story. Great acting, which is hard to find these days.
It's kind of like The Telltale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.
SpockBoy Thanks for the referral! 💪
Turned out to be The Thumping Wrench!
Just wait 'til General Burkhalter hears about this; 'You Dummkoff'' !
If it is possible that this story is even partially true in any way, they used the wrong U-Boat. Look it up, this never happened to U147 as it was sunk June 2, 1941.
No dip.. it's a tv show
A brilliant performance by Werner Klemperer!
For anyone interested in U Boats & WW 2, this is a very good watch-unless the viewer has an ultra strict dismissive attitude to the supernatural of course. Well acted and an impressive story line.
There was a lot of Supernatural phenomena in WW2.
@@colinstewart1432 I suspect you are correct amigo.Some of them may [?] haves been -for example- secret German "wonder weapons" being tested.
Best etc.
My only quibble is that except in a couple of backshots, the interio9rof the boat is absolute nonsense. As is the total lack of tactics by the boat.
I love this series and the great John Newland and Werner Klemperer,,,,love Kilink,,,,love the creepy music in this show,,,,so hauntingly beautiful
That pounding is Kinchloe sending a message to London !
Maybe it was Hogan pounding Helga on the office desk? Lucky dude!
@@fuffoon LOL!
@@fuffoon they were married.
I love these classics. The attention to detail in th costumes and sets is amazing 👏
thanks for sharing this. ...I love these classic shows. ..compared to the tripe and so called "hits" CGI junk..non actors of today.........I only watch videos that are timeless like westerns..and Sci fi....I love fireball xl5......I am glad you fill your channel with some GREAT CONTENT .......GREAT JOB !
Leesa Gomez Couldnt have said it better myself!
yes I like the model work on this one
In 1990 I was at the Royal Navy Base at Portsmouth, and got chatting to a civilian Historian.
He told the story of the Battleship HMS Warspite, a First World War veteran of the Battle Jutland.
She was in for major refit in August 1939, and during checking a bulkhead they found 2 skeletons.
They were of two young sailors, who believed to have been washed overboard at Jutland.
They checked the RN records and found out both only 16 years old when they passed away.
Grahame Willmott, it's an urban legend. The name of the ship changes depending on who is telling the story. You can look it up online.
I am sure it is not an isolated incident.
Paul Leckner, it is actually an incident that has never occurred. No one has been able to find documentation of such an incident, let alone multiple incidents. It is a yarn, a tale, a legend. It is not established fact.
The Warspite was the ship that did huge amounts of damage even though it was tiny and when they tried to scarp it the ship escaped.
They were towing it to the scrap yard when the line broke and it floated away.
Some time later they found that it had beached itself on some rocks and no matter what they tried they were unable to tow it free and take it to scrap..
The ship never gave up.
Mark Wilko The battleship USS Nevada has a similar story. It was the target ship for the atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll and took a direct hit, but didn’t sink. It was towed to Hawaii to become a radioactive research lab, but broke loose in a storm. She was declared a menace to navigation and hit by two 16 inch shells, 2 torpedoes, and an early guided missile but still didn’t sink. One more 16 inch shell finally put her on the bottom. However..after the ship was sunk, an accounting review found that due to a shortage of copper in the early part of the war, the circuit boards for her main guns, damaged at Pearl Harbor, had been replaced with the next best available conductor: solid 24 karat gold. She took more than $2 million of 1947 value gold to the bottom with her.
I really enjoy these old movies over most of the garbage of today
This whole series was fantastic.
That can be very spooky 😱 when someone or something knocks very hard on doors or walls. Good episode.
Loved this episode. Maybe it was the beginning of my fascination with UBoats? I’m really happy to see it again. Thanks!
it was the Nautilus for me.
The special effects in this episode are fantastic.
Excellent good old black n white
Speaks volumes
Werner also played in the Battle of Britain as a luftwaffae general great actor, he was.
True story: A good friend of mine who went to college in D.C. once wandered into a Georgetown bar and there sat Werner Klemperer and John Banner (Sgt. Schultz) hanging out over a couple of beers.
He's just not the same without his monocle.
🧐Hooogaan! (shakes fist)
Wow, Werner is fantastic in this.
As soon as Werner Klemperer appears in any show, even in a serious role, all the Hogan's Heroes jokes come to the surface!(get it? "come to the surface", like a submarine! LOL)
Yep 👍👊
😂🤣😅😆
@Agent J Hmmmm.... it WAS interesting to see Werner Klemperer playing a straight dramatic role, ohne(German for "without") the monocle or the urge to say "diiiiisssssmmmmmiiiiissssseeeeedddd"!
@Agent J My point being there are only odd examples of Klemperer in serious roles. One other that I know of is in the movie "Judgement At Nuremberg". Klemperer has become known for his role as Kommandantur, Col. Klink in "Hogan's Heroes" and that role has overshadowed his serious acting, either in stage, film or TV.
@Agent J: I'm male! My appearance is a result of having to take a substitute tablet to compensate for the missing thyroid gland at my birth in 1955. But I think you're starting to ramble and go off-topic here. The subject was Werner Klemperer playing serious roles when he was best-known for his comedic role as Col. Klink in "Hogan's Heroes".
The banging/knocking reminded me of 'The Tell-Tale Heart.'
Another great episode from 'One Step Beyond.'
This show used to freak me out when I was a kid, but I loved it, and 'Twilight Zone.'
This episode scared me to death when I was a kid... Brrrr...
This was how I had imagined what living in a WWII sub was like until I saw ‘ Das Boot ‘
Das Boot is a brilliant film
Hollywood always shows WW2 subs being roomy. They were not. Especially German Subs.
One of my favorite episodes. Thanks for uploading.
This series was a great concept - a horror show based on truth! I barely remembered it until I started watching two days ago. Definitely overshadowed by Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits.
I remember seeing several variations of this story. One on the Twilight Zone with an American ship and another in a comic book called Weird War Tales. All, including this one, were very good.
hi there was an avid watcher of the twilight zone but never heard of this show, thanks for uploading its a great show really appreciate you doing this cheers
The real U-147 was sunk in 1941.
Nice acting by Klemper.
"Admiral Burkhalter"!? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_submarine_U-147_(1940)
Wow! Sunk four years earlier. That makes it even spookier.
Just doesn't get any better, pure class 🇬🇧🤠🤟🙏
Great series on a great channel! THANKS!
It is always great to see an actor in a vehicle other than with what we may be more familiar.
German u-boat 147. Now that John McCain is dead. May the ghosts of the U.S.S. FORRESTAL finally rest in peace. CVA-59.
You're confusing reality with fiction, I'd say
A A 🐙
Something similar happened in the US Navy, I think on the Kitty Hawk. She was going through refit sometime back in the 70s when someone who was looking at the plans realized that there should have been a workspace on the other side of the bulkhead. So they cut through the bulkhead to find a completely equipped machine shop...along with the skeletal remains of two yard workers. Apparently, the two yard workers had been entombed during a prior refit. One would have thought that the supervisor would have noticed a couple of his workers suddenly going missing....
That is incredible! I served in the Navy and suppose should have reported the strange voices coming from the head, crying, "Booo, ass wipes, where's the ass wipes .... booohoo". Very scary stuff.
Maybe somebody entombed them in there on purpose! 😮
I was on that ship and that was a wives' tale with no merit. Its was just a haloween fabrication started by the captain as a joke to the crew
CaesarInVa, the story sounds like a typical urban legend.
I have heard the same story with the ships name changed over and over again.
This story is an old sailors “Urban legend“, and U147 was actually lost in 1941.
So they say
As is the "tap tap tap" or "knock knock knock" of the "wee" folk if disrespect them ....said be a Norse/Celtic thing like the Knotty Ash Diddymen ....move away or be driven mad ...
That just makes the story even MORE spooky...
"Sea Story" "urban legend".
Type II boat originally captained by Reinhard Hardegen. She was sunk by British destroyers on her third war patrol while attacking a convoy.
I think I can honestly say I never expected to see Werner Klemperer again!
I remember watching this as a rerun as a young child in the mid 60s it's a pretty strong memory and I was pretty young.
I'm an old fart but when I saw this as a kid I didn't sleep for a few nights. Now while I'm a skeptic on these things I've always found this episode haunting.
It's not the first time unknown pounding have been heard. Sometimes in the ships hull. Only to found out years later. When it's going to be scrape only to find humans remains.
For real. Wow I would think so like Hover dam or and really big jobs
I remember this episode. It was really great.
"....Hoooogaaaannn...if this is another one of your tricks....!"
I. want to get as.far away.from Hogan as I can get!!. Shultz prepare to dive!!.
LOL!!
Shultz would be I hear nothing.
@@ronniewall1481 Totally
Werner Klemperer was highly underrated.
This is like the best one ever and not just because Colonel Klink is in it 😏
Golly. My father served on the carrier Block Island in WWII. It was sunk by a Uboat. In the 1960's, my father had a coworker who had been in a concentration camp. One time we were invited to his home for dinner. Met his wife, who was also in the same camp as her husband. They both had numbers on their arms. They were German Jews.
Klink finally got sent to the front
From the Luftwaffe to the Kriegsmarine...
My favorite show as a kid.
That other guy played on Perry Mason, Wesley Lau, the police Lieutenant
7:14 🍺 LOL this is a German Drinking Song-back in 1990 I need one credit at UCONN to graduate with Bachelor’s so I took “German Folksongs” on Wednesday afternoons with Professor Lederer (grew up in Germany as a young man during WW II. The class was in a lecture hall and some of the crazier classmates would smuggle in beer and we would literally be drinking in the back whilst singing “Ein Prozeit.” I guess that was the best class as far as fun and I never forgot the song. RIP Professor Lederer-a fun and entertaining man who taught us the Joys of German Drinking Songs.
Knox....I was a military wife in the 70's and my husband was stationed in Augsburg, Germany and we must have hit every beer fest in the area...I remember ein swie stofa(SP).
.and the beers were served in liter mugs and the beer fraus would carry 8 mugs of beer at a time..
And one would carry around a bucket with schanopes.
It was a mark a shot.
Peppermint schanopes was the best,,!!!!Lived in Augsburg 72 to 75.Then Berlin 76 to 78.
Great times!!!!
First time I've seen this series - and this is superb TV entertainment. (I'm enjoying it as a good ghost story, not as a purported account of real events...)
That's pretty much what this series was. Killer ghost stories. A weekly War of the Worlds. Couldn't have asked for better television
Thank you soooo much. I've been searching forever.
Schulz Hears nothing and sees nothing. Apple strudel he would be there.
John Banner was also in an episode of Perry Mason.( The case of the Nine Dolls) ! ! ⭐⭐⭐
Werner Klemperer was a great actor. He acted like a true Nazi and as Klink, acted like a buffoon :)
Robbi496 The actors on Hogan’s Heroes who played Klink Burkhalter Hochstetter and Schultz all insisted that their characters were like that. Most of them had relatives of themselves that had been in the concentration camps. Howard Caine who played Hochstetter was an accomplished banjo player who won awards for his playing
It is said that they would not play the roles unless it was that way.
Catherine Burk that’s true as I mentioned in my post
@@kenclark9888 so sorry I didn't see what you had written, when I see where someone posses a question and I know something of the answer I just answer it and don't bother to see if someone else knows the same information. From know on I will remind my old brain to read what others say so I don't repeat them. Again so sorry that I repeated what you said.
I saw something on TV one time that said he was Jewish and he loved playing the role of Colonel Klink as an idiot
