Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the second of two episodes of the 168 in which Newkirk does not appear (with actor Stewart Moss standing in for him here). The other is The Crittendon Plan (1967).
- GoofsJohn Doucette's character is called Colonel Leeman throughout the show, but in the credits, he is listed as Major Leeman. This, however, may have been done to indicate an off-screen demotion.
- Quotes
Col. Wilhelm Klink: I distinctly saw Colonel Hogan watching the planes when they flew over the camp.
General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: Klink, do not try to explain this incident to him. If he asks questions, do not act as if you know anything. You know nothing! You are ignorant!
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Yes, sir, I'm ignorant. I shall do it right away.
General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: I have every confidence in your ability along those lines.
- Crazy creditsDuring the show, actor John Doucette plays a German colonel. Everyone calls him "colonel." He even calls himself "colonel." Yet, the closing credits have him as a major, "Maj. Richard Leman."
Hogan knows the problems that this will cause the Allies so he has a mission also- to destroy all the RAF planes. But it will not be an easy task as the planes are heavily guarded and General Burkhalter is on hand to assist in any need. Hogan is going to have to have some help from the underground in order strike back at the Germans.
This is a straight on story that well written and well performed. There was also some funny lines in the script with Klink and Burkhalter always having an interesting and humorous discussion. One notable thing about the show was the absents of Richard Dawson. Not sure the reason but it would have made a tighter script if the British officer was present when the Germans were flying British planes. However, the episode was still entertaining and made for an good watch.
