[@monstrok]

The palm trees next to the water tower certainly gives away the non-German location! A huge running blooper is the persistent green foliage that surrounds the camp even with the "snow" covered ground and buildings while all of the characters are bundled up for the "cold."

[@lawrencejohanson5178]

In some episodes you could hear the crickets chirping at night. I don't know what country crickets would come out in the winter time, but all episodes had snow on the ground.

[@33VMUH]

I'm trying not to nitpick, but technically the American" tank" used in the episode "Hold That Tiger" is not a tank at all. It's a self-propelled artillery piece. It merely resembles a tank because it has tank treads and a large caliber gun. Officially, it is a M7 105mm Motor Carriage. Its nickname is the "Priest" because of the circular machine gun ring on its right side. A tank is heavily armored and is designed to fight other tanks to exploit a breakthrough with its high velocity direct fire anti-tank gun using armor piercing ordnance. The Priest is intended to be used just behind the front lines, indirectly firing high explosive ordnance with its howitzer. It has very little crew protection. The Priest has very thin armor to repel small arms fire (pistols, rifles, light machine guns, etc.), but no more. To allow room for its howitzer and the crew to operate it, the Priest has no roof or cover. Its howitzer and crew are exposed to the elements. Finally, a Priest appeared in German markings (probably the same vehicle used in "Hold That Tiger") in the Season Five episode, "One Army At A Time."

[@canuck_gamer3359]

In hindsight I wonder what their best option would have been to use in production for this episode. Clearly using a Tiger tank would not have been an option, so they would have to either build something or substitute using a different vehicle. If a film on the scale of "Battle of the Bulge" could get away with using the same tank for both German and American units, surely we have to allow a sitcom some leeway. I think any actual tank would have looked better than what they used, which was as you mentioned a self propelled gun, not a tank. But what the hell, it was a comedy after all and they did do a decent job with the paint scheme so I give them a pass.

[@ricknineg]

I think what they used was perfectly fine

[@rickyjoejohnson4886]

@@canuck_gamer3359 They could have done as hollywood has done in all WW2 movies and use a Pershing tank.

@@rickyjoejohnson4886 My thought exactly.

[@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont]

On "Rat Patrol" there was a German dual-axle "command car" painted yellow with a black cross that looked a lot like General Burkhalter's gray command car. Of course, Howard Caine (Major Hochstetter) also showed up at least once as a British officer on "Rat Patrol". As Sgt. Schultz would say, "you can't be in two armies in the same war. This is regulation!" I wonder how many times surplus military equipment was painted and repainted for those 1960s shows?

[@robertzip49]

Leonard's glasses in Big Bang Theory didn't have lenses either

[@truckermikemct1]

There was no contunuity in the show. This explains why the steps returned to wood.

[@MGower4465]

The parachute drop appeared repeatedly, a person becomes a box and sometimes lands as a person. Probably hard to get a good focus shot with the smoked lens cover that creates the pretense of it being night.

[@earlsreid4130]

My dad was a WWII vet, served in Italy and France from '42-45. He was in a tank those years and loved this show. He'd point out the bloopers since he knew the military inside and out. He always commented he'd like to have a gun that would shoot 12 times without reloading if it was a six shooter.

[@mrweeby1961]

Sort of like the tank, Schultz had up close scenes with his rifle, which would have been a Mauser but they used a side loading U.S. 30-40 Krag. Same thing with some German trucks, they were actually Dodge M37s or similar.

[@garycorbin2789]

If I recall the premise for the tank , was experimental and the heroes were to get intelligence and schematics on it , and at the time most Axis armory was sub headed as tiger as it was the most famous class and well known by everyone . As a Royal Armoured Corps Driver's Grandson , I was told about the blooper by Grandad as he was a fan . He loved the show and that episode in particular . What they could have used is a Challenger which was similar class to a Tiger .

[@warp9p659]

I can't name the episodes at the moment, but I've noticed while watching the show that Major Hockstetter's rank insignia on his uniform is sometimes different in various episodes, although he is always called Major (except the one early episode where he played a different character, a Colonel Feldkamp).

[@joeylawn36111]

And Gestapo officers didn't wear SS Uniforms....

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

I think that was Gavin MacLeod with the no glass glasses. More a filming technique than a blooper. Another scene you showed had the power lines clearly in the background, but no mention of them.

[@seamusnalaoch6409]

[@SallySallySallySally]

You see the same thing in the opening credit scene on Leave It To Beaver in its last season when Ward is backing out the car toward the camera. Beaver and Wally are looking out the back window of the car which obviously has no glass.

[@GarretGrayCamera]

When I light people for interviews I really wish they didn't have lenses in their glasses. We always ask them if they can take them off. And you're right, glass throws up reflections and is annoying to the camera, there's a shot in an episode of Knight Rider where I noticed KITT didn't have a windshield in during a wide shot!

[@ronokoren8101]

In many shots, the reflection is very visible in Klink's monicle.

Also note: Season 3, Episode 8. Tech Sergeant Carter is wearing a wedding ring. The character Sergeant Carter is single; but the Actor (Larry Hovis) is married. Larry Hovis would not dishonor his marriage and remove hos ring; even while shooting Hogans Heros. This is why you see Sgt. Carter almost always wearing gloves.

[@dianemaher3538]

I enjoyed this video. I have noticed the use of stock footage throughout the series. I didn’t know about the tiger tank and the glasses. Of course, don’t forget those palm trees in the last blooper. Have you ever noticed when they use the night filters when they aren’t shooting the scenes at night?

There's an episode from season 3, episode 13 called "An Evening of Generals". In the syndicated version, the laugh track is left out. In the home video version, it is included. If you have ME TV on your local cable, that episode airs tonight (August 28, 2020). It is really strange to watch this without the laugh track.

The name in "Hello, Zolle" is pronounced "Zolly"; the episode title is a play on words and a nod to "Hello Dolly".

[@iduswelton9567]

I am a long time fan of Hogans Hero's and I've one question-why was it wintertime during the whole filming of the entire show series? It's never spring or summer or autumn just winter LMAO

[@retrozetti]

FYI, the stock footage of the man parachuting was used, throughout the entire series, as the stock footage for every parachute drop of people and/or supplies. Similarly, virtually every time they show a train exploding, it's the exact same stock footage. These aren't so much bloopers... they're basically budget constraints for a weekly SitCom that doesn't need so much accuracy. Did you notice the snow on the buildings, fixtures, and vehicles is simply white paint sprayed on from a spray can?

[@pl5624]

Hey there Rick, great job as always! I really enjoyed this one and I just wanted to help you out with #3. You mentioned that you couldn't pronounce the name, well it's actually (I think/assume) that it's a play on words with a popular song/musical/film from the mid-60's "Hello Dolly", so if I'm right the intended pronunciation would be like the name Dolly but with a Z at the start. The character's name was "Major Zolle" but I have no idea if that's an actual German name and if so, how it's pronounced. But I'm quite sure the intention was to have it sound like Dolly :)

[@doughansen8982]

I love this stuff! Keep up the great work! I would love to see you explore the following oddities from Hogan’s Heroes. In Hogan’s barracks, to the left of the main door, we sometimes see lockers and sometimes a sink. The sink is usually substituted when it is needed in the plot to look outside through the pipes in a kind of periscope. Is it possible that there are two almost identical sets used? The Commandant’s main office is directly across the compound from Hogan’s barracks from the outside. But often, when looking out the barracks door we see another barracks building. When looking from the compound into the secretary’s office, we often see just a blank wall and a room with no furnishings. I’ve seen several times when actors have left Klink’s office and then immediately turn left to exit even though the door is straight ahead. I suspect that that part of the secretary’s office on the sound stage is open to the camera since it is rarely shown. In one episode, Klink jumps out of his office window. From outside, the window is located on the far left side of the building, but the entrance to the secretary’s office and then straight though to Klink’s office would put the office on the right side of the building. Of course there are many oddities that just make the show ridiculously silly, such as a helium filled volley ball that flies away, etc. But I find the above things interesting because they hint at how the show was put together. Have you noticed that in the entire series, we never see a prisoner, bathroom, shower, or see them eating a meal in the canteen?

Toothpaste wasn't invented until after the War. According to wikipedia, it was invented in 1955. The Tiger Tank kept breaking down and couldn't go over smell hills. I do find it very funny about the Palm trees in Germany by the metallic water tank. Each episode has a production number when the music is played at the end of the episode. "The inspector General" is the real second episode that was filmed. Off the point, I would like to see "Lost in Space" the third season per episode as by the end of that episode. Sometimes they're on a planet or their in outer space. It's like seeing "Star Trek" based on the stardate.

In the second blooper... There is another one. If you watch the way they are holding the gold bricks and only one person is holding them with tongs while they are being dipped in the red pain...
