The above panel truck had many uses on HH. Most commonly it was used by Oscar Schnitzer to ferry dogs to and from the camp. Schnitzer was a collaborator with the Heroes and would often smuggle people, messages and other items into and out of the camp. When used on HH as a dog truck, the truck had his name, "Oscar Schnitzer" and "Tierarzt" painted on the doors. Tierarzt translates, literaly, "Animal Doctor" or Veterinarian. This screen cap does not appear to have any writing on the door. The paint job on the Tierarzt truck was not as shiny as seen in this cap either. But the roof rack is unmistakable. It is likely the same truck used for Oscar Schnitzer, just repainted. |

In this Hogan's Heroes scene, an underground agent is being transferred to the custody of the Gestapo. Unknown to the Nazis', the 'Gestapo' agent who arrives as a passenger of this truck is not Gestapo at all, but another underground agent. The excuse for the Gestapo arriving in this truck is that the Gestapo car has broken down. One can reasonably assume the driver of the truck is in on the ruse. It could be Oscar Schnitzer and his Tierartz truck in disguise. |

Five of the main characters, Corporal Lebeau, General Burkhalter, Colonel Klink, Sergeant Shultz and Major Hochstetter were played by Jewish actors who along with their families had either escaped the Nazis or had served in the Armed Forces or had even been placed in one of the Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War: John Banner (Sergeant Shultz) - Emigrated to the US after the Annexation of Austria (known as Anschluss) by Germany in 1938, served in US Army Air Force as a supply sergeant from 1942 to 1945 in which he posed for a recruitment poster. Most of his family died in the Holocaust. Werner Klemperer (Colonel Klink) - Emigrated to the US with his family in 1935, served in the US Army Entertainment Branch, the Special Service and spent time entertaining the soldiers in the Pacific Theatre of the Second World War. Leon Askin (General Burkhalter) - Emigrated to France after the Anschluss in Austria in 1938 and then the US in 1940 after the Fall of France and the Nazi Occupation of Paris, served in the US Army Air Corps as a staff sergeant from 1943 to 1945. His parents died at the Treblinka Extermination Camp. Howard Caine (Major Hochstetter) - Born Howard Cohen, served in the US Navy in the Pacific Theatre of the War from 1944 to 1946. Robert Clary (Corporal Lebeau) - Deported to Poland in 1942 and placed in a concentration camp at Ottmuth before being sent to Buchenwald Concentration Camp until the camp's liberation on the 11th April 1945. 12 members of his immediate family died at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. After the Second World War, Clary returned to Paris and was reunited with six of his siblings and several nieces and nephews who had avoided being deported and survived the Vichy Regime in France. That and in the episode with the mini remote-control tank, there was a scene where the tank arrived at Stalag 13 on the trailer. The trailer had a 1963-68 series gold-on-black California trailer number plate. -- Last edit: 2024-09-22 03:42:12 |
