Pretty sure this show would have sunk without Werner. Hard to imagine someone portraying a German officer in such a lovable manner barely 20 years after the end of the war. His portrayal was always spot on.

I always liked how Klink was Hogan's foil, but he was never the villain. He wasn't the bad guy. He was someone doing the best he could in a situation that he wanted no part of. All he wanted to do was safely ride out the war in command of Stalag 13 and remain as far away from anything resembling fighting as possible.

Werner Klemperer had a lyrical way of saying his lines that was hilarious. He almost "sang" the punchlines. He was a great actor, and deserved his Emmy awards.

Fun fact Klemperer was actually in the us army and probably didn’t need the paper hogan gave to him for the violin, he probably knew it from heart

I just love how Hogan tries to string Klink along (even in the face of Klink's mounting suspicions and anger), but bring up General Burkhalter and BOTH of them are instantly on the same page!

All the cast members had one job to do, and that was to make you laugh, and forget about the Vietnam Conflict....of which they all excelled at. My youthful days were spent laughing long and hard at all those great TV shows of the sixties. What a time it was!

Werner Klemperer was the fulcrum of the comedy of this entire show. He was genius in his role, and it was hilarious when Leon Askin (Gen. Burkhalter) made an appearance to contrast Klink's role.

A fun little fact about Werner (may he RIP), was throughout the series, he was portrayed as a horrible violinist, but in real life he was actually a classically training concert pianist and violinist, as he came from a known musical family.

The on-screen banter between Klink, Hogan and Schultz is sheer genius.

My favorite line by Colonel Klink was about his staff car. "How can I get it back sooner than I think, when it's already later than I thought? Great line

Although Hogans Heroes was far fetched there was a grain of truth to it. The character of Colonel Klink was that of a rear echelon officer who was given a low profile command that he couldn't screw up. The best officers were either on the General Staff or on the front(s). In the story line Colonel Klink was supposed to have been from an old aristocratic family who rose to the rank of Colonel because of his family rather than because of his accomplishments. Not that that ever happens in real life (ha ha). Hogans Heroes was classic comedy which never received the recognition that it should have.
