It's ironic that most of the German officers were Jewish in real life. Shultz was actually an Austrian who fled Austria and joined the U.S. Army in WWII.
I think it was comedy film maker legend Mel Brooks (also Jewish) who once said "Who better to play a Nazi than a Jew?" Don't hold me to it being Brooks who said it though. I think it was him but only about 60% certain.
Werner Klemperer's family fled Germany before WWII and came to America. I'm not sure if he was 4F or simply wasn't called up, but he did concerts during the war. John Banner, the actor who plays Shultz, has a much sadder story. Much of his family went to the camps and were killed by the Nazis.
those actors were very good, 100% professionals. they made them likable and funny even though they were still a definite enemy. the actor who played hochstetter had the the hardest role, and he still pulled it off.

Werner Klemperer, also a brilliant composer, was an Austrian whose family fled to the US before the Anschluss. When offered the part of Klink he had one requirement and that was Klink must never win.
@@andrewstackpool4911 Werner Klemperer was a German. His father, Otto Klemperer, was a famous german orchestral conductor and composer. When the Nazi Party gained to power in 1933, he went to Austria and then to Switzerland. In 1935 he went to the USA to work with the LA Philharmonic.
I think the first time William Shakner used Lenard Nemoys " Fascinating" line he must have smiled inwardly. As I saw his charter he portrayed nearly laffing while saying that very line. So these actors occasionally must have done role swapping, and off charter stuff for a gage real. Or to break boredom. Imagen repeatedly saying the same thing over and over.

sammfiggy112284 the Kaiser was the Emporer of Germany in WW1, and currently in the show its WW2. So Shultz joked that the prisoner is so old that he would have been taken prisoner in ww1, when he could be actually young enough to look like a soilder

It's on freevee for not cost. You have commercials but it's free. The entire series minus an episode or two. Hogan Goes Hollywood is the only episode I can't find in there with Byron Buckles.
Season 1 episode 4 Major Hochstetter wants to make a change at the camp and Klink says that first he will have to ask Colonel Hogan. Hochstetter:"Since when is Colonel Hogan running this camp?" Klink:"I think it was September of last year." Schultz:"No, I think it was August." Klink:"You're right, it was August." Hochstetter:"Bah!! Both of you are crazy!!"
@@The_Dudester yeah I was being flippant. It is funny how they sometimes return to the camp, after not only securing their escape, but also doing things that would get them shot.
It was probably the most hilarious later in the seasons when lebeau was fighting Shultz after formation turned into a brawl. It ended with Klink taking the Sub machine gun and firing it in the air.
@@daleburrell6273 That doesn't mean he had to rat out the old man safe cracker! I own the entire series. There were numerous times when Schultz could've exposed Hogan's entire operation, but he never did. This is as close as he ever came. Respectfully, my comment stands. Do you remember the time when Schultz parachuted in with the team and landed just outside the camp after Hogan who was piloting a German plane bombed the crap out of a refinery? If Schultz can keep quiet about that of all things, he can certainly look the other way when it comes to an extra prisoner as he has in the past many times.
Have you seen Breaking Bad? Stranger Things? Hannibal? Mr. Robot? What are you talking about idiot? TV shows nuke movies in terms of quality, fucktard!
Curious, I had to look up the names. He gives his name on the show as Alfred Burke, but his real name was Walter Burke. But there was an English actor about the same time named Alfred Burke.
Mc Hales Navy, Hogans Heroes are two shows that can never be redone. Shultz sees the old man ten asks Hogan " who captured him , the Kaiser?". Like he's been there since WW1. Classic line.
^^ most vehicles in the show aren't authentic. most of the german Staffcars have the wheel on the right side and the "Tiger Tank" is in fact a M7 Priest light houwitzer
Now you know why Werner Klemperer won a Primetime Emmy award for playing Klink. Klink is such an irritating character, but he's arguably one of the greatest characters on Hogan's Heroes.
Opening scene, man parachutes from C-119 which first flew on 17 November 1947. Should be footage of a DC-3 / C-47 somewhere. Only because of his patriotism, the crown jewels are safe!
"Schultz", Hogan began addressing the sergeant. A brief pause ensued. Then Hogan continued in a calm and low tone, "The iron colonel needs a vacation". The audience was amused (and so was I). Schultz's face continued to display his shock at the iron colonel's response.
one of my favorite episodes... ive always wondered what the accordion player was playing at the party at the end. they played the same tune in another episode
Anyone know if when he said, "oh not at all. Times like these we must all put our shoulders to the wheel." was he mimicking Churchill? He had an accent already, but it sounded like he was quoting one of Churchill's speeches lol.
It was times like this when you got the impression that Klink knew everything and either secretly wanted them to succeed [some have suggested he was really NIMROD or even just a member of the anti-Nazi/pro-previous establishment plotters] or just wanted to get the whole thing over with as quickly as possible because it was all a big inconvenience.
I don't know about Klink, but I'm pretty sure Schultz was fully aware. He wasn't stupid; he waa making it a point to look the other way, no matter what he saw. It was even revealed in one episode that, in his civilian life, he owned a toy company. It was the episode where Hogan and his crew tricked Klink and Schultz into believing that the war was over. They never even asked who won but were excited about returning to civilian life.
Ever noticed whenever we see an airdrop, its always a person leaving the plane, even when its a crate or box after it lands? And the flashlight used for signaling the plane looks incredibly dim? Of course, you wouldn't want to be waving a bright light around in the woods at night if you want to stay unnoticed. But I guess its actually due to the smoked glass they used to film in daylight but make it seem like night.
I feel likethis scene proved my theory that Klink knew all along what Hogan was up to throughout the series but always looked the other way, mainly because he was loyal to Germany and not the Nazis, that and no matter what they always made sure he didnt end up transfered or shot.
I recall an episode where Hogan is on a train, in a German uniform. He ducks into a compartment and Klink is there. The brick wall finally fell on Klink. I felt bad for him because he said something like "I suppose you chose me because you needed a big fool." Hogan doesn't want to tell Klink that he's right. I wish I could find that episode and watch it again.
@@carltonreese4854 Jim Carey would be a good Colonel Klink and Will Sasso would also play a good sergeant Shultz, there are plenty of actors just need the right people to make it.

Schultz & Klink saw enough in the first season alone to know Hogan was doing something big right under them.

Seems to be true XD

I could be wrong, but I think this is the only episode where Schultz didn't look the other way and actually attempted to rat them out.
"attempted" halfheartedly, only because he was irritated.
...remember- Newkirk was spotted outside the wire, and Schultz HAD to investigate...

Alfred Burke did a great job as "Alfie the Artists". He's an excellent character actor.
Minor correction Walter Burke played Alfie not Alfred Burke. But yes he did a great job too bad they only used him once.
He was in !n an episode of One Step Beyond and an episode of I Dream of Jeannie in its last season.
Curious, I had to look up the names. He gives his name on the show as Alfred Burke, but his real name was Walter Burke. But there was an English actor about the same time named Alfred Burke.
He even went up against the Three Stooges themselves in "The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze".
Hypnotism really works, all Hogan did was swing the key and Klink was already under his spell.
This was a very well written series. Priceless when Hogan started waving the key in front of Klink.
Colonel Klink copying Sgt Shultz and saying I know nothing is one of the shows funniest lines
They are constantly doing roll-call, and thinking about escapes... it seems like it would be awkward to have an EXTRA prisoner!
When TV shows were actually good
been a long time
A good surgeon is always ready to operate... and remove... things.
Mc Hales Navy, Hogans Heroes are two shows that can never be redone. Shultz sees the old man ten asks Hogan " who captured him , the Kaiser?". Like he's been there since WW1. Classic line.
I freaking love Schultz. "What's your name...sonny?" And of course the belly bump.
"Who captured him, the Kaiser?" 🤣🤣
What a funny show. You don't know how much I wish I could go back, in every sense of the word.
Agreed !!!
Me too!
2:35 i love how shultz keeps the same face still but his movements continue like saying::".....wait a minute "
What made this show so great was the writing brilliant
I have watched this scene hundreds times and I still laugh hard at it!
Can you tell me what Episode this is?
I don't know if it's the real name, but its call the "the safecracker suite" I believe
Damn you are fast... Thank you very much.
Shultz was always hilarious 😂.🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
I remember that line. Spouts off the place and nearest safe company then details. Great old show.
The best of television fun in my childhood 😀😀😀
Plane was a Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar. First flown in 1947.
Good catch.
^^ most vehicles in the show aren't authentic. most of the german Staffcars have the wheel on the right side and the "Tiger Tank" is in fact a M7 Priest light houwitzer

The one time Schultz knows something lol
He’s Just like when Homer met him.

For the first time taking command here I want to know Nothing😂

A Nice Cup of Tea. Love this Show
Awww now i've seen this clip.. i wanna know what happened..
So Hogan’s Heroes looked like it could be a dramatic show until you realize its a sitcom.
He really explosed the chimistry lab in high school.
Wish they had complete episodes. I'd like to see this one.
You can watch them on METV on dish network 247, (2)episodes every weeknight I've dvr'd every episode made. Priceless
Great wartime comedy series with great actors and funny scripts
Anyone know if when he said, "oh not at all. Times like these we must all put our shoulders to the wheel." was he mimicking Churchill? He had an accent already, but it sounded like he was quoting one of Churchill's speeches lol.

How the heck can alfie jump out of a plane in his age?
Why not. German Air Force had about 50 people that were aged 65 or older.

Quite easily, if the plane's designed for it. It's the landing that's the hard part.
Eh, if you loosen your interpretation of "jump" anyone can!
Simple, with his trade he had BETTER stay limber.
What puzzles me is Bobs murder..fun show but odd demise. 😳
