So last night I was researching where some Nazi Brass might have been manufactured (yes the SS marked brass). So backtracking it looks as though it would have been manufactured at the ammunition plant at Buchenwald which used slave labor from the concentration camp to manufacture it. Brass with two bad stories attached potentially. So in researching the layout of Buchenwald I come across famous people who where held there. Guess who is on the list. Robert Clary (Cpl. Louis LeBeau). So I pulled up his Wiki biography. Now I know why when he would say "I hate the bosch" and spit, it was so convincing. Pretty amazing he would do a comedy about a Stalag or Concentration camp. Louis always came off as somewhat of a tuff little shit. I guess he is actually a lot bigger and tougher than most. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Claryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchenwald_concentration_camp

I heard this some time back about Clary. I always wondered how it must have been a challenge to make jokes about the people who had slaughtered your friends. I also have wondered how it was for Audy Murphy to make "To hell and back". Another tough little shit.

I love Hogan's Heroes. Werner Klemperer's family moved to the US from Austria in 1935. His father was Jewish. Klemperer was an entertainer in the army during WWII https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_KlempererJohn Banner escaped the nazis and he served as a supply sgt. in WWII. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Banner#World_War_IIBob Crane was too young for WWII Leon Askin (Burckhalter) was also an Austrian Jew and served in the US Army in WWII https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Askin

John Banner a supply Sergeant. That explains why our troops lost weight. The shipments were being taste tested reroute.
I need to look into up Hochstetter. I saw him in a couple of old movies and he always played a guy who had the wrong answers at the right time. Typecasting. The movies were quite a bit older than the series.

Imagine trying to sell a Nazi Comedy TV pilot in this day and age. Be like pitching a comedy about slavery. (In his prime, Chapelle could have probably pulled that off.) One thing the Jewish actors agreed on was that the Nazi's would have to be portrayed as bumbling idiots and would be outsmarted in each episode.

Cool info I did not know about Clary. Thanks for sharing.
In 1972 I had history teacher with a last name of Moskowitz. I assumed he was Jewish because he stated on more than one occasion that he did not approve the Hogan's Heros because they did not portray how evil and sinister they actually were, and he'd lost some relatives to the ovens. He was the right age, about 50 years old in 1972.
