After Burkhalter role I elevate Caine in his role savy..."Baahhh!!"

No one is getting dragged off to camps or arrested for racist or sexist rhetoric. Not to mention that you say that nationalism and nazism are different, yes that's true but nationalism is still problematic at best. It claims primacy of nation regardless of reality and encourages an uncritical praising of the nation and its actions.

Hochstetter is one of my favorite characters, he's so emotive and usually so frustrated. Even though he's evil (unless he's secretly Nimrod, which I still think is the best theory), it's fun to see him bounce between extreme emotions and go from contrite to boastful. And of course Klink deflates so well. Good simple character work that is exactly what the scene needed.

@Perryinjax Studios It was a TV show. Bing Crosby used what was available to him. Most all the vehicles used in Hogan's Heros were owned directly by him or by his studio. Bing owned several Mercedes himself, and was quite an avid collector of Mercedes and Rolls Royces he insisted everything used in the show actually ran and drove. That Phantom was used in several episodes. And it was not out of the realm of possibility either as the Nazi's confiscated many private vehicles in Western Europe for their own use. So it is not too far out there to have a German general using a confiscated Rolls as their staff car.
