Hogan's Heroes - Maj. Hochstetter Dances With LeBeau

[@Trucker1957]

So Funny!

[@HorrorLover98]

"May I cut in?" "The next dance will be yours, General. GENERAL!!!!"

[@dzabageo]

So funny haha

[@take942]

Given Hochstetter's serious dedication to the SS, that dancing scene was one of the funniest scenes in the series!

[@jenniferclark9842]

I wonder how many takes it took until they got it right, or at least without breaking into fits of giggles. I'd love to see the outtakes from that episode.

[@take942]

Probably took quite a few times for them to be able to look at each other while dancing without cracking up. I know that I would not have been able to keep a straight face if it was me. @@jenniferclark9842

[@AlbertEinsteinSpock]

@@jenniferclark9842 I've seen some outtakes from other episodes through an Internet search, including a home film that Sigrid Valdis (Patricia Olson) released not long before she died kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIrJpp-wnM2UasU

[@gigantor6519]

yes

[@genki2genki]

"Nice to see you, General," says Hogan, as if they were at a luncheon somewhere. Love it.

[@lauchlinyurchuk1301]

I just love how the general waits until the perfect moment to make himself noticed

[@bobmalack481]

Duplicated in an episode where Klink is in a ski chalet lodge dressed in civilian clothes puttering about Burkhalter to a desk clerk, suddenly Klink turns around, guess who?...LOL!!

[@3OCALM1]

Laughed my ass off the first time I saw Hochstetter (of all people) dancing with LeBeau.

[@johnbowen35]

Howard Caine, who played the Major, was from Nashville Tennessee, born into a Jewish family, he served in the United States Navy in the Pacific theater during WW2, fighting the Japanese. He was an American hero.

[@unstepintime]

Klink (Werner Klemperer) was also Jewish (Fled from Germany with Family), fought in WW2 for the US. Schultz (John Banner), also Jewish in Australia. Fought in WW2 for the US. Leon Askin, General Burkhalter , Austrian Jew. Escaped after being beat by the Nazi's, Parents murdered. Also in WW2 for the US.

[@upthedownescalator630]

So what the hell is age restricted about this? This is a freakin' G-Rated show!

[@saagabragi6938]

[@darkhunter5293]

He is about as graceful as a football player in a skating rink.

[@one-eyed-jaxbehind-the-duc9720]

One of the funniest series ever. Who would have thought a program about a Nazi POW camp would be a hit?

[@epaminon6196]

It's a good thing this wasn't about an Eastern Front POW camp...

[@richardgadberry8398]

"May I cut in?" "The next dance will be yours, General. GENERAL?!"

[@ozneroll2132]

"MAY I CUT IN" ? LOL

[@jenniferclark9842]

If only Hogan had a video camera, he would have had perfect blackmail material.

[@misscrouch]

Its so sad that there are not many outtakes! I would LOVE to see the ones when they were dancing! :'D

[@jenniferclark9842]

1:29 It reminds me of a couple of brothers teaching each other how to dance.

[@mcfrdmn]

Excellent episode of Hogans Heroes.

[@chrisgerardy2877]

The all time favorite "Melancholy Baby"!

[@bobmalack481]

Always hilarious with the threat of the Russian front from Burkhalter...LOL!!

[@marcieswanson3107]

Haha, I forgot about this one! Thanks for posting!

[@BETTERWORLDSGT]

The funniest General Burchholder Episode was when The General was in the Shower and the water stopped, and He Yelled "KLINK". I could almost hear those orders for the Russian Front being Initiated!!!

[@joeylawn36111]

I'd argue it's when Klink was at the mountain chalet trying to dodge Burkhalter, but Burkhalter shows up at the chalet.

[@diosoth]

Considering Leon Askin's history with the gestapo(of which gave him that scar), this scene of his character making a gestapo officer nearly have a heart attack in fear was probably a very rewarding moment.

[@philosopher1a]

freaking hilarious... Hochstetter dancing with leBeau

[@hansvonschlader8227]

Watched this as a kid late 60's early 70's, still great entertainment. Simple and funny, not the crap they have on now like Big Brother and all those bullshit shows

[@tracysimmons3860]

chris musclow Amen Brother!

[@Doctor699]

Big brother would have been something if they had put in thoughtcrimes, and eviction led to the ministry of love kind of thing. A dark kind of entertainment that makes you think. Oh well.

[@Doctor699]

@Nathan Morrow I like the shows about the families too from the 1990s and early 2000s, but yeah today it's just soulless garbage. You're not allowed to have fun anymore. I'm a millennial myself and find this kind of thing from decades back so much better. Even Gomer Pyle or Frank Spencer.

[@maxfrankow1238]

An SS major dancing with a French resistance fighter...

[@RookitMaster]

Max Frankow ahahahh i know right🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@VideoAmateurLuxembourg]

He wasn't a French resistance fighter. He was in the regular French army who were defeated by Germany.

[@Jess-hg6ro]

Both of the actors were Jewish anyway

Maybe the funniest episode of Hogan's Heroes.

[@gaius_enceladus]

Heh..... "Which would you prefer, Klink? An engagement with a beautiful fraulein or a chess game with a General who can transfer you to the Russian Front?" :D

[@thomasskodzinsky3255]

"White for you sir?"

[@greenwich1754]

The Russian front jokes never get old.

[@HB-pg9sc]

Howard Cain who played Col. Hochstetter was my favorite character of this show the thought of a short always suspicious and angry ss officer was funny I guess he was always angry because Hitler kept them looking 4 the boogie man so much he never had time 4 a woman.😂😂😂😂

[@jenniferclark9842]

Hochstetter had it out for Hogan. He was convinced Hogan was a spy and saboteur but couldn't prove anything, which drove him nuts.

[@Envy_the_Darksider]

@@jenniferclark9842 Love how Hochstetter branded Hogan as the "Most dangerous man in all of Germany."

[@michaelwbaird4600]

This is Hogans Heroes. WHY THE HECK IS THERE AN AGE RESTRICTION?

[@gomenos54]

I love this show but Helga is absolutely sensational in her red and black attire!!

[@LordZontar]

That's Fraulein Hilda (Sigrid Valdis). Fraulein Helga (Cynthia Lynn) was Klink's secretary in season one.

[@coralroper6876]

Whaaaaat???? Totally OOC moment for Hochstetter, in my opinion

[@howardrichards4618]

That, of course, is part of what makes it so funny.

[@AlbertEinsteinSpock]

Hochstetter was always kind of nervous, out of character around Burkhalter. Especially in the Nimrod episode (I forget the title). Although Hochstetter never acted nervous around other generals (he frequently told them off), he knew Gen. Burkhalter was very high up in command - a personal friend of Himler. Burkhalter put him in his place more than once, bailing Klink out. What a great show.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

James Gemmell.... I think General Bulkalter was at the top of the Luftwaffe, under only Hermann Goering himself. I believe there was an episode where that was established when Goering was supposed to come to the camp and Hogan talked Shultz into playing the part of Hermann Goering. You didn’t get much higher than Goering was. He was right hand man to Hitler for most of the war. That would have made Bulkalter pretty untouchable, at least up to the point that Hitler began to suspect his own generals of plotting against him. You’re right though, General Bulkalter did seem to be the only character on the show that Hochstetter seemed terrified of. I think there was an episode where Hochstetter had Klink nailed to the cross, but Klink had General Bulkalter come in and arrest Hochstetter, getting him out of an otherwise, no-win-situation. This was one of the most original shows on TV. Who would think a sitcom based on a WW2 German POW camp would be so funny? The writing was second to none and they made the Nazis look like complete idiots.

[@LordZontar]

@@AlbertEinsteinSpock The one time Hochstetter tried to throw his weight at the general, Burkhalter coldly shut him down by telling the major he personally answered to the Fuhrer, not to the Gestapo. Burkhalter coudn't be intimidated and he was obviously protected so Hochstetter knew to keep his place.

[@AlbertEinsteinSpock]

@@LordZontar In the episode where Hogan's Heroes kidnap Burkhalter's sister, Gertruda, Burkhalter tells Hochstetter to go ahead with what the kidnapper wants: a swap (return) of Burkhalter's sister for the woman spy the Gestapo captured. When Hochstetter refuses, saying the woman is an enemy of the state and, therefore, it's a Gestapo matter. At that point, Burkhalter gets in Hochstetter's face and tells him to do the swap or he'll be forced to call his friend Himler. When Hochstetter says he's not intimidated, Burkhalter picks up the phone. At that point, Hochstetter relents.

[@mikedemaria3695]

I don't know how those guys said their lines with a straight face.

[@garyharrall4002]

General burkhalter has a point. Klink is the one in charge...except when the Gestapo shows up. That I'm sure was really true. The gestapo was something not to cross.

[@ericpmoss]

Dancing With the Enemy. Haha.

[@MrsStrawhatberry]

So intersting to watch it in English. Le Beau sounds so much more French in the German DUB, his accent is more dominant. On the other hand Burkhalter sounds exactly the same, I wonder whether the actor dubbed himself in German. For some weird reason Newkirk stutters in the German version and Klink constantly talks about his housekeeper Kalinke.

[@dagmarkiontke]

The german voices are by german actors. The german writers thought, there ist more fun, if Newkirk stutters and there is a "Putzfrau Kalinke". They thought, germans could not laugh at the same jokes than the americans. I like the english version better.

[@saagabragi6938]

That's possible because his actor Leon Askin was Austrian.

[@pugspugsley2906]

why is the sound so bad lately - are you on an austerity budget?

[@joeylawn36111]

Knowing Gen. Burkhalter, he would have instead taken Klink's Girl....

[@StephenElk]

Minor difference. Major Hochsctetter is with the Gestapo, not the SS.

[@DerKaktuszuechter]

Wurden nicht alle Folgen auf deutsch synchronisiert , die Folge kenne ich nicht ?

[@AlbertEinsteinSpock]

Supposedly, the episodes were translated into German or voiced over with German accents. Klemperer, who was born in Germany, actually speaks fluent German in a couple episodes.

Even so... I still say Hochstetter was Nimrod.

[@GingerGilligan]

This was literally the most unrealistic show in the history of television. (And I'm including sci-fi, fantasy, etc.)

[@juliebyrne9131]

that was the point of it!

[@bornyesterday21]

... but it's funny.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

Of course it is, that’s the humor. If the Nazi were half as stupid as they’re portrayed in Hogan’s Heroes, the German army would have been defeated by the French when they invaded. We all wish they were that dense, but it makes for good comedy and a way to satirize the Nazi army while simultaneously making the US POWs look like heroes. First off, any Luftwaffe POW camp at that point of the war would have been predominantly British officers captured. Instead of being the single Brit in the spy ring, Newkirk would ave been the leader and 75% of his heroes would be British pilots. Hogan and Carter would ave been in the minority and Kinch would have been in a separate camp from the white officers, if they would have taken him alive at all. This are the sad reality, but that wouldn’t make for a funny TV series.. after all, this wasn’t a documentary... you do realize that?

[@kendallrivers1119]
