From what I understand, it was shown in syndication years later in Germany and was indeed a very popular show

Ran for quite some time, too. I loved it. They did a great job with the German voices.

You’re in Munich, Fish Cheer? I’m Oberammergau. Small world.

Better Hogan’s Heroes question: Klink . . . Schultz . . . Which was the girl? Schultz was bigger but Klink had the higher rank. It is a puzzlement.

Thanks, Papermache Prince, for the info on the movie “36 Hours.” I gotta see that again sometime soon.

Fish Cheer, I remember hearing a radio news story on the surprising German popularity of “Hogan’s Heroes” a few years ago. IIRC, the voices of Klink, Schultz and the other Nazi characters are dubbed in stereotypical ways for various regions. Schultz, in particular, was given a very rustic accent… Bavarian, maybe?

Yes. Schultz’ voice definitely was Bavarian. Klink sounded like a Saxon to me (but could’ve been some other East German accent), and Burkhalter was Austrian. Great show!

As an aside, I just saw another WWII movie, The Young Lions, for the first time, and John Banner had a small part as mayor of a town near a concentration camp.
