Evening Marc. He sounds like a great medieval character and I love reading about these extraordinary people and the times in which they lived.
Watched Stalag 17(1953)Timeframe : Battle of the Bulge
-
The movie mentions some of the events/problems of the BotB
Freaky Flashbacks
- Didn’t recall that Stalag 17 had a Sg. Schultz
-
-
- Wonder if that is where they got the Sgt. Schultz idea for the Hogan’s Heros TV series. –"I know nothing! I know nothing.!"
-
- Also noted a mousey German Private with spectacles in a coupla scenes.
-
-
- Anyone recall Arty Johnson of the TV series Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In fame. He occassionally portrayed a WWII German Private whose main comment vas, “Veeeery interesting!” This is the character I believe he based his Nazi on.
-
- Peter Graves, the second leader of the Mission : Impossible IMF(Impossible Missions Force) was the the sneaky Nazi spy in this movie. I wonder if it affected his career. I do not recall him in much of anything else between S17 and M:I.

I have this movie. Its got alot of the same characters from the show. Its quite funny as well except when the Nazi informant gets shot by the Germans by accident.
I like Hogans Heros better i got seasons 1-4 on DVD
-
Seen it many times. I do believe that I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that the show was based on this movie, at least in part.
