They should show the fully restored video somewhere. Years ago, when high definition was brand new, The "Hogan's Heroes" films were digitized. Bing Crosby had the foresight to film the shows in widescreen format and then cut it down for TV. The original film is so much sharper than what we saw on TV originally. Directv had a channel just for HD content almost 20 years ago and showed the restored video. You could see things that were off screen back in the 60s, and the picture was sharp enough for you see the individual hairs on peoples' heads.

I thought about a real ending for Hogans Hero's and thought the way to end it was reveal that Schultz wasn't so stupid, he knew what Hogan was doing but did nothing because he hated the Nazi's and it was the perfect cover for his work smuggling Jews into Switzerland. Of course with Germany collapsing and the SS just killing random people he needs Hogans help to hide all the extra jews he is moving, Hogan is worried about all the prisoners getting shot and Klink is more worried than normal about getting shot! This only ends when Patton's tanks arrive.

Wokeness does not approve

[@RonalDreaman]

@@Lerxstification that’s a stupid comment. It has nothing to do with wokeness. Some people don’t find humor in facism, a war that saw millions of Jews exterminated, or that the NAZi’s were these bumbling idiots. My Grandfather was a displaced person from Austria in WW1 and enlisted during WW2. He was a translator for the USA and it’s how he earned his citizenship. He became a raging alcoholic to try and forget the horrors he saw. He would “drink himself sober” buying a bottle of whiskey and a case of beer. He would drink the whiskey first (Corby’s) He would spill some on the kitchen table drawing patterns, he would tell us grandkids to watch, take his zippo and ligut the whiskey on fire, then light a cigarette (camel filter less) from that. We would ooh and aah when he did that. In his heavy accent he would then say in like a chant, “Andrew, Jaucqe-wa, Jim Gobolabbi” We never knew what it meant as kids but we would repeat it back which brought a tear to his eye. They were his buddies from the war we later found out and he was toasting them. When he finished the whiskey he would start in the case of beer. By the time he finished that? He was sober. My Uncle fought in the Mediterranean campaign against Mussolini and his Fascist regime. When Italy surrendered he and some of his buddies “borrowed” a German PT boat and took a bunch of girls and Italian wine to celebrate iin the Mediterranean. Nearly got themselves blown out of the water by the Navy. When the MP’s caught them they spent the rest of war in the brig unti Japan surrendered and the war ended. Another Uncle in the Pacific campaign, before he passed away he and my Dad went to an air show. There they had a Douglas C-47. He said to my Dad “you know I took off and was flown in that plane 6 times? But I never landed in one!” He was a parachutist. Two of those times his plane was hit and they had to jump early, landing in the middle instead of behind enemy lines. The first time he and 2 others were the only survivors and had to sneak they’re way back. The second time he got picked up by a patrol. One of the guards fell asleep duting the night watch. He escaped and again snuck back through. He thought they would give him a leave after that. But because she now knew the terrain so well they sent him again. None of these men found humor in Hogans Heroes. So STFU, because you don’t know shit.

Yet, political satire often gives way to comic cruelty.” By being afraid to laugh at Nazis you grant them to much Power and make them out to be more than the jackbooted Thugs they were.

Apparently the Jewish man who played Col. Wilhelm Klink only took the acting part if he could make the character extremely incompetent and fail at everything he did. Guy who played Sergeant Schultz was an Austrian Jew. And guy who played Corporal LeBeau was a Jew that actually spent time in a concentration camp and the Nazis killed 10 of his siblings.

If Schulz's company was the biggest in its industry in the entire country, he probably wouldn't have been serving as an NCO...he would've been given an officer's commission like so many other industrialists were.

The defending general, was far better prepared, and even predicted the allied moves. The allied attacked the city of Sofie Bulgaria, then thought they would do it again in two weeks, but that time, the German's had their Messerschmitt in action, in November, 1943, and shot down a bomber, shooting into the fishbowl front, killing Lt. Charles Graham. The things practically had a fishbowl on the front, and now, they were getting attacked from the front, not from behind. It was a disaster.

Loved this show when I was a kid Schulz was my favorite

[@vadouis-rt3of]

I lost it when the Luftwaffe General said: "The what is what?"

[@jumbles1957]

Schultz is my favorite character

[@janetcraft]

Classic show for sure. I'm laughing all the way :)

But the black algemeine ss uniform was put away for the duration of the war... Should be grey

Not decisive for the show.

It's a fucking comedy. Chill out. Out if respect, many motion pictures will not wear the right credentials. It's actually illegal for the Hollywood to use exact accurate u.s. military uniforms.

How is the coloration on this so perfect? 5:00 St Paul Minnesota KSTP channel 5 for a long time this was the go-to show, as an American Jewish kid some relatives bristled at this show normalizing Nazis not behaving like beasts.

[@RJSRdg]

Actually all the Nazis in HH were played by Jews!

I still don't know what to make of this very strange tv series some 55 years later.

Watch laugh, enjoy

Clink was the only one who got an Emmy

[@normbograham3]

To have your cast considered for an Emmy, your show has to pay a fee (or someone has to pay), to be considered. At $250-$300 per category. So, nothing about the awards a real. It's like a beauty contest for the best actor, whom had the fee paid. In fact, Michael Richards(Seinfield), paid his own fee, at least the first time. that's over $1,000 for 4 submissions.

[@brianhoward9217]

Just genius . . . just TOOOOO funny! God luv 'em all, they were simply amazing, all of them. Oh, for simpler times.

[@GeorgeSemel]

My favorite episode, sucking up on Shultz for a job.

[@MrPatrickworthington]

Klink realized at that moment he had misjudged Shultz all along. Far from being a nobody he could bully, Shultz was a very wealthy and important man.

[@phaedrabacker2004]

The war is back on! 🙌

[@mike9347]

" Shultz, close the gates. The war is back on" ! 🤣😆😆😂

[@jonathanbair523]

I am shocked that no one left the camp.... I could see Schultz walking down the road with a few of the allied guys.. The first check point the got to would be so confused..

[@RJSRdg]

I think Hogan had put all the regular prisoners under instruction not to leave. Klink was so malleable that they didn't want him to get the sack (or worse).

[@RossMunro-mf6ez]

Frank Marth played the German officer at the end.He also had small parts in the Honeymooners.

[@stvdagger8074]

In addition to playing Inspector General Busse in this episode, he was in 4 other episodes as : Colonel Deutsch , Lt. Vogler, Capt. Milheiser & Count von Waffenschmidt .

"Der Krieg... ist zu ende? DER KRIEG IST ZU ENDE! DER KRIEG IST ZU ENDE!!!"

[@CM26617]

Damn, THIS should have been the way the series ended; events juuuust narrowly coinciding with that week of May, 1945.

[@FrederickFokker]

"The war is back on!" Too funny

[@StephenDonnelly-u9c]

This show reminds me of dads army

[@HiVizCamo]

A prison camp...run by a guy named Klink. Brilliant!👌

[@jarrettpage4009]

3:30 kinda weird timing for a laugh line 😅

[@carlosschroeder3638]

When a war is over, both sides celebrate.

[@marcushinton772]

Loved watching this as a kid, Private Schultz - I see nothing, nothing at all!

[@illletmyselfout.8516]

Close the gates the wars back on lol😅

[@RayOyler-lo6xc]

We watched Perry Coma ,he was catholic and the church said to watch it.

[@dwaynetucker7635]

" The What,is What!?"😅😅

[@leoh1191]

Funniest show ever

[@jamespeddycord4705]

That show was hard sell at the time...I wasn't allowed to watch it at first. Dad was a ww2 vet and those folks didn't see the humor in it. In time I watched it and had the lunch box. But I do see dad's point and I can understand the dislike.

[@charlespeterson778]

My uncle died in a pow camp. It was his fault though, he got drunk and fell out of a guard tower

[@RaimoHöft]

Ah, that never gets old! 🤣

[@mikekaatman3194]

😊 Brilliant.

[@bobmalack481]

So he was an American POW but fell out of a German guard tower? Something doesn't add up. Were you stoned when you posted this? LOL!!

[@luislaplume8261]

In real life John Banner could read German. He was born in Austria and Austrians speak German as does Switzerland and Lichtenstein.
