I always wished there had been a concluding episode that went this way: Stalag 13 gets word that American forces are approaching the camp. Klink resolves that he will stay on and deliver his prisoners to the Americans. The prisoners and staff of the camp line up as American forces enter. A jeep rolls up carrying an American general. The prisoners are surprised to see the high ranking officer. The general announces, "I am here because I have the great honor of meeting a top secret operative working for Allied intelligence who has done more for the war effort than anyone I know. That man, at great danger to himself, turned this camp into a base of operations behind enemy lines that carried out many vital operations. I will now proudly bestow this medal..." Hogan puts on his "Aw shucks, I was only doing my duty" smile, expecting to receive the award. "...on Colonel Wilhelm Klink." The prisoners react in stunned disbelief as the General pins a medal on Klink's uniform. Klink turns to Hogan and, with a sly smile, states, "You didn't really believe I was that dumb did you?" Camera shows the faces of the Allied prisoners as they realize Klink was the mastermind behind their successes.

That would have been an outstanding & hilarious ending! Not nearly as good, but you made me think of it with the fact that Hogan, his men, and we all thought of Hogan as the great mastermind but then it was really (haha) Klink: so imagine a slight variation on your ending and it turns out that not just Klink but Burkhalter and Hockstetter too were allied agents, a fact known only to each individual! Not that we'd want the joke to be on our gutsy and brilliant POW's, but imagine if all 3 of those Krauts were working for our side the whole time. Or maybe, better yet, not quite the WHOLE time...

After all, how’d Hogan and his men would have got out of troubles without getting sasses?

Something that English speakers take for granted is how many actors - quite particularly on this TV show - worked and worked very well in languages that were not their mother tongue. John Banner (Schultz) and Leon Askin (Burkhalter) were both native German speakers. Robert Clary really was a Frenchman. Werner Klemperer, born in Germany but raised in the US since the age of 12, one might note, was very well spoken. This is impressive.

Hogan's Heroes-wasn't supposed to be cancelled--in fact all the cast believed there would be a seventh season--however CBS decided to cancel a large part of their lineup (Beverley Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, Hogan's Heroes" etc) in what was called the "rural purge"--the network was going after a younger demographic audience and the decided to completely revamp their programming to do that. What I have always wondered is why another network (ABC, NBC) didn't pick up the option to keep producing Hogan's Heroes? it was being done at that same time for Get Smart which switched networks. Its also interesting that most of the writers for Hogan's Heroes went right over to work on MASH not that many years after Hogan's Heroes was cancelled--their creativity also made MASH a hit

I told him I loved the improv they did.... he didn't get mad but he did sort of yell at me stating that every word that was said was written by Mr. Allen... no improv!

So here's my imagined made-for-TV episode. It's 25 years to the day after the end of the war, fade to ritzy restaurant in NY, Klink is the maitre d, barking out orders, sucking up to customers, and immaculately dressed -- a job tailored to him perfectly. LeBeau is the chef, and standing over him salivating over his latest culinary delight is, you guessed it, the owner, Schultz. The name of the place, Tunnel 13. You get the idea it's a special night, a private affair, and one by one in walks the crew: Americans, French, English, and even a few Germans, older and so glad to see each other. At some point the doors are closed, the curtains drawn, and everybody is seated. First, the toast to those departed, a solemn moment, and then the "remember when" begins. Fade back to camp. Hogan gets word the Russians have joined the hunt and Germany will soon be lost. German camp personnel are ordered to Berlin for the last stand, Klink and Schultz are beside themselves with fear. Papa Bear orders Hogan to evacuate the camp in one mass escape. Knowing that Klink and Schultz face certain death or worse, imprisonment by the Russians, he invites them into the barracks, shows them the tunnel, hands them both civilian clothes, and says nothing as he and his men file one by one down the ladder for the last time. Schultz starts changing immediately, Klink soon follows. Down the ladder, through the tunnel, and out the hollow stump. Allies are waiting to haul them all to safety. Burkhalter drives into camp, it's empty, he stands there confused and lost. His driver encourages him to get in the car so they can get out before the Allies and Russians take control. Back to the restaurant, dinner's over, the real party has started, in walks Marya Parmanova. "Hogan Dahlink. You are having a party and not inviting me? And I thought we had something special."

Hochstetter should be dealt with. I imagine it going down like this ... Hogan busts into Klink's office to get him out. Hockstetter screams "Vat is this man doing HERE?!" as usual. Followed by the sound of a silenced pistol shot. Pan to Hogan holding a smoking gun and saying "Colonel Klink, the Russian Front or come with me? Which will it be?"

I recently watched the series from start to finish (over several weeks, no binge watching for me lol) and what I found most remarkable was how strong the series ended! I always had the impression that Ivan Dixon left because he felt his character had been taken as far as it could and that the series was growing stale. But if you do watch the entire series, it can easily be argued that the final two seasons are the best! It's easy to look back and wish it had ended differently but this series really deserved a finale. The best part is that the material is all there for the writers, imagine the final season with the war coming to an end, how Hogan and his men can aid the liberation of the region, Klink and Schultz in a constant state of near panic, the chaos that characters like Burkhalter and Hochstetter would be facing and on and on! It seems it would have been a natural!
@rkiry4 жыл бұрын
You're correct about Ivan Dixon. It's been stated that he left because he felt the writers started giving too much attention to Newkirk/Carter comedic scenes -- because the two actors (Dawson and Hovis) played so well off one another. Dixon's character was left with fewer scenes. Also, it's also been stated that the entire cast was getting tired of John Banner's scene stealing. There was even an episode (Season 5, episode 1, "Hogan Goes Hollywood") that parodied this. In reality, Dixon was a talented actor and director who was involved in numerous projects at the time. He just simply was too in demand to hang around as a minor character on HH. It's too bad his character was always overshadowed. The "Kinch" character was Hogan's reality check and, as such, he kept the show from being too absurd.

(He spent more than a month being moved from safe house to safe house by the Underground, with a cover of being a deaf-mute, trying to get to a pick-up point for an Allied sub. Someone in the Underground was a rat and contacted the Gestapo.) That said, the show is still very funny.

I always thought a twist to the end would have been the camp was in East Germany, and Hogan would have smuggled Schultz and Klink to Allied lines with a made of story of how they were behind the shenanigans that Hogan's crew performed which Klink would have to admit to.

Werner Kemplerer (Colonel Klink) was an accomplished violinist. He even played in the first violins section of the Philarmonia Orchestra under the direction of his father the great Otto Kemplerer. A video of Werner playing with the Orchestra (Beethoven’s Ninth) can be seen here in KZbin. No, he was not wearing the monocle there.....

Hogan's Heroes is a show that should not have worked but it just did, I watched it endlessly as a kid and it really is to bad the show got cancelled so abruptly, maybe it was made at a time when series finales were not thought of as such a big deal but a show like that deserved a proper goodbye - I would of loved for the finale to be Stalag 13 gets liberated, Major Hochstetter gets arrested for war crimes, General Burkhalter flees to South America, Hogan shows Klink all the tunnels and Klink say 'I knew about them all along, what did you think I was some kind of idiot? I was on your side' then Hogan and his men, Schultz, Klink and Hilda go into town have a few Beers and toast to the end of the War.

Few people know: General Burkhalters scar was from WWII. In real life when he was beaten up by the SS while tied to a chair. Lebeau was in a concentration camp, The last time he seen his Mother is when he was pulled off a train from her. Her last words to him were "Do what ever thay say" he was a wise guy and she knew that they would kill him. Sgt. Shultz's parents were murdered in a concentration camp. Col. Klink is Jewish. Awesome cast.

I remember listening to a podcast about the creators of Hogan's Heroes. Apparently when Fein and Ruddy pitched the show the executives at CBS were appalled "You want to set a sitcom in a concentration camp??" "No, No No, a POW camp." Apparently they had to clarify the distinction to executives at CBS and Bing Crosby Productions over and over and over again. (But had none of them seen William Holden's Stalag 17?). It helped immeasurably that Fein, Ruddy, and, of course, all the actors playing Klink, Schultz, and Burkhalter were Jewish and had been anti-Nazi refugees.

Still snow on the ground, proving Summer never came to Stalag 13! 1971 was the year that Pat Buttram of Green Acres (which, unsurprisingly, got canned) famously commented that CBS "canceled every show that had a tree in it- including Lassie." Yes, including Hogan's Heroes.

In real life, Klemperer was from a Jewish family (his father was the famous orchestral conductor Otto Klemperer) and found the role to be a "double-edged sword"; his agent initially failed to tell him the role of Klink was intended to be comedic. Klemperer remarked, "I had one qualification when I took the job: if they ever wrote a segment whereby Colonel Klink would come out the hero, I would leave the show."

Production of TV shows had become sort of mechanized: some over-worked editor sees a 'night time' scene filmed outdoors, they throw in crickets songs because, well, it's night!
