Brian, would a piece of strudel help to get anything out of you, just like it did with Sergeant Schultz?

I adore Apfelstrudel, but it's so bad for my line, I'm totally incorruptible

Maybe aye, maybe och aye!

Thanks for the run-down on the show. I think I have seen about 5 minutes once or twice.

I will watch this space...

The star of Hogan's Heroes, Bob Crane, who was murdered in 1978, is the subject of a 2002 film called "Auto Focus", and which is an interesting insight into what happened to him.

John Banner, who played Sgt Schultz, and who passed away in 1973, had a long film and TV career between the early 1940's until a year or two before he died. There are 149 references to films and tv shows he appeared in at this site:

On links to that site are a couple of other tidbits about Banner, not the least of which is the fact that he had been a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp in Germany, but was released and escaped to America, early on.

Quotes from Banner:

On his ironic casting as Sgt. Schultz: "Well, who better to play Nazis than we Jews?"

"There is no such thing as a cuddly Nazi. Maybe Goering was cuddly to his wife. He wasn't cuddly to the city of Rotterdam. Schultz is not a Nazi. I see Schultz as the representative of some kind of goodness in any generation."
