Hogan's Heroes - Klink Knows Nothing

The Safecracker Suite

[@darthroden]

I have a feeling that the actor who played Klink loved saying that line for once.

[@Boskov01]

The actor's name is Werner Klemperer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Klemperer

[@andrewstackpool4911]

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.

[@dagmarkiontke]

@@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.

[@MaruArts10021]

Everyone else appears to be telling you who the actor was, so I'll just say you're right, he did sound enthusiastic about it

[@daniellafferety4025]

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. Doing the exact 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.

[@Boskov01]

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.

[@Carandini]

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.

[@Carandini]

Correction. It seems Klemperer didn't go into combat, but was with Special Services entertaining troops in the PTO.

[@WintersWar]

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.

[@darkhunter5293]

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.

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.

Alfred Burke did a great job as "Alfie the Artists". He's an excellent character actor.

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.

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.

[@kurtsnyder4752]

"attempted" halfheartedly, only because he was irritated.

Hypnotism really works, all Hogan did was swing the key and Klink was already under his spell.

"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.

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.

[@MarionStevensJr]

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.

[@MGower4465]

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.

[@markforster6457]

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.

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. That is a tough thing to do in a full length movie.
