@@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.

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.
There are a ton of Ironies here, knowing that quite a few cast members were playing the same monsters that were truly mass murderers, also, In a way, I think of it as a sort of revenge.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
"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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
I believe the reason that the movie was never made, was that the right actors couldn't be found to play the parts of Hogan, Col. Klink, and the rest of the stars. Even though it has been done with the A team and Mission Impossible and many others. But these are all dramas, not comedy. HH is a real sit-com, with a joke every other line.

"Hats off gentlemen; we are in he presence of a genius!" - Hogan
"Who captured him, the Kaiser!?" Brilliant
exactly what does he mean by that?! The Kaiser
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
Gerd Von Rundstedt many thanks for the explanation that is hilarious lol thank you again General Gerd Von Rundstedt
@@sammfiggy112284 the Kaiser was the leader of Germany before hitler
@@dwightstewart7181 The title "Kaiser" is a variation of "Ceasar"...
“Sometimes I wonder which officer is running this camp” Klink
“I do to” Shultz
Seems to be true XD
‚‚I am the colonel who will sign your transfer for the Russian front!''
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."

I don't get why Higan is in an enlisted camp.
@@brettknoss486 It's a TV show. Also, the show had no continuity which is a big part of why there was no final saying goodbye episode.
@@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.
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.
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".
Shultz only used the belly bump a handful of times but I laughed hard every time he did! They should have used that more often!
Like Friar Tuck in the animated cartoon "Rocket Robin Hood", lol.

One funny thing is a few times over the shows run, Banner lost weight and they had to pad his uniform to get him to look fatter.
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.
Love these show. RIP to all the Cast and Crew. Miss this Awesome show.

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!
Hypnotism really works, all Hogan did was swing the key and Klink was already under his spell.
It would be nice if Hollywood would make good tv shows again
Hollywood's make the show too?
All these reboots i think they have run out of ideas
They would make woke pc type show and ruin it
@@jeffgalus8454 Oh shut up incel.

This was a very well written series. Priceless when Hogan started waving the key in front of Klink.
When TV shows were actually good
been a long time
"Who captured him, the Kaiser?" 🤣🤣
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.
I freaking love Schultz. "What's your name...sonny?" And of course the belly bump.
What made this show so great was the writing brilliant
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.
2:35 i love how shultz keeps the same face still but his movements continue like saying::".....wait a minute "
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!
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.
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
Are you thinking this is a documentary ?
It 's the top secret OSS prototype from Kelly's Skunkworks.
@@SSN515 it was so early they hadn't even designed it yet
I remember that line. Spouts off the place and nearest safe company then details. Great old show.
Schultz and klink makes this show very funny
It's a shame they cut off Hogan's last line.
and what was it.. pray tell.. geesh
What was it?!
"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.
Shultz was always hilarious 😂.🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
3:33 Klink will truly always "know nothing, nothing"
So Hogan’s Heroes looked like it could be a dramatic show until you realize its a sitcom.
The best of television fun in my childhood 😀😀😀
when I was a little girl I would watch this with my brother . I never realized how funny it actually is.
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
this is comedy gold and fun to watch.
Subscribed and liked.
Richard Dawson at 0:10 is handsome. He was always very handsome but in that scene, his smile was infectious.
He was such an egotist in real life! He became unwatchable on "Match Game"!
Loved it as a kid and still to this day
The one time Schultz knows something lol
This show is hysterical.
I see the envy in Corporal Newkirk's eyes. As a professional con man, he is outmatched.
Karl
Schultz & Klink... the Jon Snows of their time^^
"Who captured him, the Kaiser?" Brilliant writing.
I love when Schultz kicked le beau with his stomach away and said Engländer instead of englishman
He’s Just like when Homer met him.
For the first time taking command here I want to know Nothing😂
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
I came in here and counted the prisoner: 1, 2, 3, 4, LeBeau, bum... So funny XD
My favorite part of the video :D

Awww now i've seen this clip.. i wanna know what happened..
Klink pulled a Schultz
also ironic that in the late 70's and very early 80's this was 1' of the top ranking viewd american TV series watched in Argentina and Paraguay

Great actors, just fantastic.
Some British actors including child ones moved to the USA for numerous reasons but mainly to not be turned into German collaborators or be arrested.
Got me how Schultz pushed LeBeau out of his way with his belly.
Back in Time ! Quality Entertainment !
Klink saved his life right there!
“WHAT IS THIS MAN DOING HERE?!” 🤣🤣🤣
That could be the first, and last time Klink used the escape clause of Shultz.
Klink's face at 3:17 after his little joke kills me
Interesting. I’m not positive, but I “think” that actor was in the Great Escape. So he was familiar with stalag tunnels
this were well made stand the test of time like kung fu series still hold up
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.
he was pushed
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.
Too bad that the C-119 Flying Boxcar shown at the beginning of the clip wasn't around until 1947...
Very interesting video !
Freakin hilarious
