How Well Do You Remember the Classic Sitcom ‘Hogan’s Heroes’?
The idea sounded crazy: a World War II comedy about Allied airmen held in Stalag 13, a fictionalized Nazi POW camp in Germany, who devise elaborate schemes to sabotage Nazi plans and save other prisoners. Hogan’s Heroes ran from 1965 to 1971 and it turned out the TV audience loved watching clever prisoners, led by American colonel Robert Hogan (Bob Crane), consistently outwitting the inept commandant Colonel Klink (two-time Emmy winner Werner Klemperer) and his dimwitted aide Sergeant Schultz (John Banner). Hijinks ensued.
Colonel Klink, the balding, monocled Col., was rather tame as Nazis go — but then again, the sitcom aimed to find the funny in a WWII POW camp. But do you remember Klink’s first name? Take our quiz and find out!
