Nimrod had to have access to the outer office and more than likely be able to be seen there without being noticed. Nimrod must also be an agent with access to German secrets. Schultz, Helga and Klink are not good suspects because they are at the camp 99% of the time, so they can't have access to German secrets unless it's through another person. Burkhalter and Hochstetter on the other hand...so my bet is one of those two.

Burkhalter more likely. Hochstetter was WAY TOO hostile towards Hogan and always trying to expose him somehow. Burkhalter only did it once or twice but almost all the time he is bringing German plans to Stalag 13 just to get it sabotaged. He keeps doing this even though all the plans he brings there end in failure. Also, in this episode, he had the supposed secret plans and he is a Luftwaffet General. The plans were for an Me262 jet, which the Luftwaffet would have. Plus, he has seen Hogan and his antics but lets him off the hook almost all the time, like when they were filming a German propaganda and "accidentally" blew up a vital bridge or when a gestapo agent was about to arrest everyone including Burkhalter but Hogan gave the agent a pen that was a bomb and the car the agent was in blew up right in front of Klink and Burkhalter's eyes.

Leon Askin lost family members in the Camps. Robert Clary was in a concentration camp, and lost family members and only survived by entertaining Family Members. John Banner also lost family in the Camps. Klemperer was in the US Army in WW2. Askin, Banner and Klemperer only agreed to play Germans once they were assured they would be complete idiots. Ironically, Colonel Klink is a terrible violin player while Klemper is a trained Classical violinist who has performed with Symphonies around the world.

Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht camps were usually staffed by Older officers and soldiers, like Klink and Schultz. POWs in German camps had it much better than those in Japanese Camps. There are stories where a Luftwaffe POW camp commander refused to hand over Jewish POWS to the SS because it was a violation of the Geneva convention and sometimes resulted in Armed stand offs between the Germans. Not one German camp commander was ever charged with a war crime.

There was even one case of the Luftwaffe rescuing airmen from a concentration camp. The airmen had been kept in hiding by Belguim citizens, but when they tried to arange their escape, each of them were betrayed by the same double agent (who posed as an super agent for the resistence). On the train they had tried to escape by tearing up the floorboards of their rail car and laying on the tracks until they could roll out between the wheels. They couldn't wait for the whole train to pass over because the Nazis had placed a net of barbed wire under the cabose. Their attempt was uncovered and the Nazis almost had them all gunned down, going so far as to stop the train and line up all the prisoners in front of a machine gun. The airmen all agreed that they would rush the gun when it started firing in the hope that at least one of them would survive long enough to reach it. That ended up not being necisarry and the train conintued on to Buchenwald. There were other airmen already there (a total of 168) and they all made sure to stick together to survive. The ones who did survive were saved when a Luftwaffe officer visited the camp. One of the airmen who spoke German approached him, saluted and informed in that he and other airmen were being kept in barbaric conditions and demand to be treated as prisoners of war. The officer listened and most of them were relocated.

@canalesworks1247 3 ай бұрын

If Oberst Klink is really Nimrod then he would have made sure that Schultz was taken care of one way or the other. Schultz owns the Schatzie Toy Company, so Klink would have made sure that the allies gave him his factory back. Schultz would have learned Klink's true identity and offered him a position at the company. They would have stayed in post waf Germany and lived a pretty nice lifestyle.

That's exactly how I wanted the show to end. In the last episode the remaining Nazi brass are going to shoot Klink for failing so much, and the allies are right outside the camp. And Klink is freaking out. Then Hogan and the others take Klink and Shultz into a tunnel and help them defect.

It's a nice idea, but there are continuity problems (not ones a comedy couldn't over come). There was an episode whose leitmotif was that Hogan convinced his captors the war was coming to an end soon. It was then revealed the Schultz, despite being a bumbling sergeant, was in fact in charge of a major German toy company pre-war, which (or so the premise went) could be expected to resume after the war. Klink, of course, was currying favor with Schultz to get a job. So, at least in the actual continuity, that would be the "expected" result -- though of course in the non-comedy version, the factories are presumably converted to a war footing and thus destroyed by the allies. But hey, this is comedy, so the factory survives, right?

Don't forget D-Day at Stalag 13, covered in the fanfiction "Now What Have They Done?" - Klink couldn't straighten out the confusion after the episode the way it shows Burkhalter doing it, even as Hogan causes Burkhalter to feel he is trapped in an American Vaudeville skit as he tries to find the commandant. Plus, even if you discount someone else's idea that was borrowed of the camp being established over an old mine, Burkhalter could easily have found Klink and Schultz specifically for that camp. I could believe Klink as an associate, the Burkhalter would be the one either way who steers all those people towards Stalag 13, because he knows Hogan is there and so is Klink and therefore he doesn't have to get his hands dirty and arouse suspicion.

Schultz is absolutely the best suspect, if we assume the bumbling was all an act. That said I've always felt like Klink did know *exactly* what was going on and kept his mouth shut because he knew that Hogan was also protecting him from being sent to the Russian front (By not doing anything that would overtly come back on Klink) since Klink's replacement would probably be more competent.

I loved Schultz. 'I know nothingk!' when he obviously knew everything. So long as Hogan didnt get Klink and himself sent to the Eastern front Schultz was perfectly prepared to do what it took to actively ensure whatever the prisoners got up to was ignored. He'd worked out how the whole business was going to go, and was damned if he was going to put his life on the line for some jumped up corporal from Austria. Stalag 13 let her m ride out the war looking ng like a Patriot while doing the least harm and pulling off some good. Was Klink as stupid as he seemed, or was he in on it with Schultz or independently working the same scam? I dont know. However Schultz was very determined neither of them were going to the Eastern front and he had willing allies in pulling off that goal in Hogan and the Prisoners.
