I DEFINITELY remember seeing this when I was little! (On WMAR-TV 2 at that time)

I like this classic special feature on television from the late 1960s. The special feature was only on Hogan's Heroes Special Features Videotapes, not on Season 2 Disc 5 DVD. The musical episode was from Season 2 Disc 3 Episode 5 DVD Praise the Fuhrer and Pass the Ammunition.

THANK YOU!! I've been searching for this episode's details for the better part of two hours. And the disc number, too? You are doing the lords work.

BEST SHOW EVER ❤

This. Is. The. Greatest.

Have you ever noticed not once was a Jew brought through to help escape ? Why is that ?

That's true, but it's fascinating that the show's producers cast Jewish actors to portray Schultz, Hochstetter, Burkhalter, and Klink (Werner Kemplerer being half-Jewish). Plus, LeBeau, i.e., Robert Clary, is still alive. He is Jewish and actually endured two concentration camps at a young age.

@@pnelson1432 I wonder how the four Jewish actors felt when they had to do the Hitler greeting and salute.I'm Jewish myself and it was probably very tough to do so.

@@georgemaster689 Pardon this long note. I'm in a chatty mood. Yes, I imagine that it was very tough. Plus, all the symbols of Nazism. I figure that the actors had some kind of comfort or release via those times in which the salute was half-hearted. There are episodes in which Klink is saying something like, "yah (jah), I know, the salute to ____." However, I know that there is one particular episode in which he scolds a visiting officer for forgetting the salute. But it's done jokingly, with the real Kemplerer knowing that he's glad for any time that the tyrant is overlooked or joked about. I'm still getting used to my new knowledge about the cast. As a kid when I'd watch reruns of "Hogan's Heroes," I just always knew that the good guys were always the winners. Some time ago, I read about how Kemplerer only signed on b/c he was guaranteed that the Nazis would never win. It wasn't until later that I realized all the very, very subversive stuff about the show, e.g., African-American Kinch often used to impersonate a German officer over the phone. BTW: I've recently read that Richard Dawson was very much a part of the civil rights movement for racial issues in the US. I kind of think that Crane was, too. I like the respect and rapport that Hogan and Kinch had...though obviously LeBeau and Carter got most of the comedic lines over the years, plus Schultz et al. Whatever the case, I know that the actor who played Kinch was the leader of an organization that sought to have positive roles for Blacks on television.
