When camp security is raised, Hogan uses a phony Hitler (Carter in disguise) as office of a hoax designed to smuggle secret film out of camp and to the Allies.

Plot Details [ ]

Information technology is late at dark at Stalag 13 and the Heroes are preparing to leave camp for a new mission. A plainclothed Newkirk makes his way out of camp, to be joined by LeBeau, Carter, Kinch and a German uniformed Hogan respectively later on a few minutes in betwixt. Hogan reiterates the mission to the Heroes and stresses that everything must go perfectly. They are going to "infringe" plans for the German coastal defences off an officeholder passing through town, photograph them and have the photographs sent to London without raising any suspicion. Hogan explains that a local clandestine agent, Christina will assist them by stopping the officer's car. Carter questions whether Christina will exist able to terminate the officer, but Hogan assures him she tin can, with LeBeau characteristically piping in that he himself would give her no problem if it were him. As LeBeau is sent out of camp, Kinch wonders what they volition practise if Klink or Schultz tries to make a surprise inspection during the dark, but Hogan reveals that he padlocked the barracks door as "nosotros're entitled to some privacy."

Former later at a German tavern, two bartenders are cleaning upwards and are drawn to the back door by Kinch and Carter who prompty incapacitate them. Meanwhile, a beautiful young adult female (Christina) waits by the side of a "broken downward" machine. Correct on time, the German officer, Major Krantz arrives and taken past Christina's charms, offers to let her expect in his auto every bit his commuter fixes hers. Christina however directs Krantz to the nearby tavern, who agrees to have a drink, seeing as they "might equally well be comfortable" leaving the driver to do the hard work. When the two arrive, they are greeted by Newkirk and LeBeau, dressed as waiters. Newkirk seats them at a table and offers to take Krantz' coat, who declines and instead hands over his briefcase for him to put away. Newkirk rushes off to get their drinks and mutters to LeBeau that the plans must be hidden in Krantz' overcoat, given how he refused to permit it be taken. They are soon met by Hogan who pretends to recognise Krantz as a different human being. Christina suggests Hogan join them, and though Krantz doesn't seem to like the idea, he grudgingly agrees. Hogan distracts Krantz with a conversation while Newkirk spirits the coat abroad to the back room. True to his suspicions, the plans are indeed in Krantz' coat, and Kinch begins photographing them. The chore is before long finished and Newkirk returns the glaze and plans to their proper place. Hogan apace but unobtrusively leaves the conversation, challenge he has to depart, leaving Newkirk and LeBeau to play bartender a little longer.

The next morning, Hogan is summoned to Klink's function. The Kommandant speedily declares the he knows "everything that happened last night." The shocked Hogan asks how Klink found out, with the Prussian colonel pointing out that General Burkhalter told him. Fearing the worst, Hogan asks more and somewhen learns that Klink is non referring to the Heroes escapades, simply rather, i escape attempt from Stalags 5 and 9 each which occurred at nearly the exact same time. Klink feels that it is part of a larger plot for a coordinated escape attempt to tie downward German forces, and as such, he is having the camp's guard doubled. Hogan protests this every bit a violation of the Geneva Convention, simply Klink does not budge. He mentions to Hogan that Burkhalter is due to make an inspection and he hopes to requite him a perfect prove, musing that his men will accept to work an extra shift. Hogan points out that the idea might non be taken well in Berlin, given all the extra overtime that will take to exist paid, to Klink'southward bewilderment.

That night, Hogan discusses the next step of their functioning to LeBeau: he is to see with Hugger-mugger amanuensis Karl outside camp and hand over the photographs to him so they tin be sent to London. The recognition code volition be iii random first names, which Karl must answer "yeah" to, followed past the name "Karl" which he must answer "no" to. Equally LeBeau prepares to exit however, Kinch spots Karl being arrested on their outside periscope. Hogan takes a look and bitterly remarks that he thought Klink was backbiting about the doubled patrols. LeBeau and Kinch advise they brand a rescue try, just Hogan declines, stating that since the Germans have cypher on him, he will exist released unharmed. Their next pace is to get the photographs to Christina, to which Hogan declares he will work on Klink and become him to driblet the patrols outside campsite. LeBeau wonders how Hogan volition exercise this, to which the American colonel replies "past squealing on yous guys" to LeBeau and Kinch's horror.

Hogan meets with Klink and Schultz to talk over an escape try he has "learned of." The prisoners program to have one man distract the guards past going over the fence while the others hotwire Klink's car and crash through the military camp gate. Klink asks how Hogan came about the information, to which Hogan replies that the escape committee reports all impending attempts to him for approving. Hogan also explains that he is reporting the matter and so his men won't be harmed. He suggests Klink pull some of the patrols inside the camp to discourage the prisoners, and Klink seemingly agrees, before angrily declaring the entire story to be a lie. Klink then guesses that Hogan's proffer was to divert his men for a real escape and though he doesn't know the real reason behind Hogan's programme, he has hit the nail on the caput, enough for Hogan to be genuinely shocked. Klink declares he volition send for reinforcements from divisional headquarters and sarcastically invites Hogan to speak with him once more before leaving. The bewildered Schultz wonders aloud what simply happened, and the every bit bewildered Hogan declares "I think I'yard losing my bear on."

Some time afterwards, Newkirk enters the barracks and asks Carter for a cigarette. Carter (who was combing his hair) puts the rummage against his lip and mimicking Hitler, declares that "the Fuhrer does not share cigarettes with anybody." He so "graces" the Heroes with his Betty Davis impression, which Kinch sums upward with a review of "don't call us, we'll phone call yous." Hogan before long arrives and relays his failure to the Heroes. Carter takes up the role of Hitler over again and declares that he volition get the picture out camp as "I Adolf Hitler, am basically a loveable person." The act backfires however and angers Hogan who declares it to be "not all that funny." After a few seconds however, Hogan looks at the act in a new light and asks him to do information technology once more, but likewise to walk similar Hitler too. Afterward a quick review, Hogan declares "it merely might piece of work."

A niggling later, 3 prisoners, Mills, Foster and Greenberg are presented to Hogan in the German uniforms of a colonel, major and brigadier general respectively. Hogan explains briefly that only 1 of them should speak. Foster volunteers for the speaking portion of the mission and is instructed to speak only little, but very arrogantly, and stay away from the guards in case they recognise him. Newkirk soon joins them and calls for attending equally he introduces the newly annointed Adolf Carter-Hitler. Carter (now with a false moustache, dark hair and Hitler-esque suit) does a short walk across the barracks drawing praise from all the Heroes. His transformation into Hitler is first-class, with LeBeau declaring he could fool Eva Braun. Hogan explains to Carter that he is to travel with his three "staff members" by car into army camp when the evening baby-sit shift changes, and then make his way out of camp with the photographs on him. Carter mentions that he is scared that he will be unmasked and shot, merely the Heroes requite him a Hitler salute which he responds to, before wondering why he "went to those news reels."

LeBeau watches from the barracks periscope every bit "Hitler" and his staff enter camp. The guards practically fall over themselves trying to run to Klink's part to inform him of their new guest, while Schultz rushes out to meet him. He takes one look at "Hitler" and gives him a specially fearful salute before receiving an earful from "Hitler" near his hatred of sergeants ever since his ain days in the German Army. Schultz cheers Hitler for the "compliment" as Klink rushes out. Unlike Schultz, Klink has no idea of his guest, and berates "Major Haputmann" (aka Foster). Foster introduces himself as a fellow member of "Hitler's" staff, and Klink sarcastically asks why he didn't bring Hitler with him. Foster indicates "Hitler" and Klink's bravado vanishes as he gives a breathless salute. "Hitler" takes one look at Klink and declares "we volition win the state of war anyhow!" Foster claims that they were on their style to Dusseldorf when "Hitler" decided to brand a surprise visit, with "Hitler" affirming the claim. Hogan meanwhile worries that the operation is taking besides long and the risk of exposure is mounting, thus he goes out to straight traffic. Klink is busy toadying upwards to "Hitler" and recalls a time he was presented to him before the state of war. At that, "Hitler" declares there was nada before the war, and there will exist zippo after information technology, before seeing Hogan. Afterward a brief introduction, "Hitler" requests to speak with Hogan alone for a infinitesimal. Hogan gets to the betoken, Carter needs to take off and exit lest he is discovered. Carter agrees, simply as they are talking, General Burkhalter arrives for the surprise visit Klink mentioned earlier. Klink quickly greets Burkhalter and informs him of "Hitler's" visit. Burkhalter apace moves to greet him, simply "Hitler" (in a genius move on Carter's role) angrily declares that the reason he is losing the war is because of his generals. He also specifies that one of his generals "looks similar a stuffed goose" and that "one day the goose volition hang loftier by his caput!" Burkhalter immediately realises that "Hitler" is referring to him, and deems it unwise to speak with the Fuhrer at the moment before speedily leaving. "Hitler" as well decides to leave, and declares that he enjoyed his visit, too as praising the camp's barbed wire earlier leaving. Schultz and Klink run into "Hitler" off with an elongated Hitler salute earlier the latter sings praises of Hitler to Hogan. In addition to being "a wonderful human existence" and "a slap-up soldier" according to Klink, Hogan also adds that he is "a pretty good actor" with the two Germans wondering what Hogan is talking about.

The next day, Hogan meets with Carter in the cooler and is informed that the photographs were safely delivered to Christina and are on their style to London. Hogan quickly reminds Carter that his story for beingness outside the camp was that he tried to escape during "the Fuhrer's" visit. They are soon met by Klink and Schultz with the erstwhile handing downward a punishment of thirty days in the cooler and thirty days without privileges thereafter. Carter protests the penalization, and Hogan comes to his rescue past musing that he will write to Hitler most information technology, challenge he was asked to write to him. Fearful of the repercussions, Klink agrees to suspend Carter's sentence before leaving. Schultz releases Carter, and asks why Hogan is smiling. The American colonel replies "I think I've got the old touch back" as the 3 go out.

Story Notes [ ]

• This is the 40-seventh episode produced in the series, but is the forty-fourth episode to exist shown on tv set and is the 12th episode for the 2d season.
• The Academy Award aka "Oscars" are mentioned in this episode.
• This is the 2d time that Carter impersonates Hitler. Information technology is too the first time that he does it, in a major way, to aid our heroes. Carter kickoff impersonated Hitler in The Informer, where he only did the hair-and-rummage bit. He will use his incredible Hitler impersonation to help our heroes on subsequent occasions, such as Heil Klink and The Meister Spy.
• Carter is shown to the prisoners every bit "Hitler" and the Heroes end the scene past giving him the Nazi salute. Robert Clary, due to his history every bit a prisoner at Buchenwald concentration army camp, gives the salute with the wrong paw (his left) and with his fingers crossed.
• The episode title is a reference to a catchphrase on the long-running TV game show, To Tell the Truth. In each segment of that show, three guests would come out and innovate themselves to the panel and audience with the same name and occupation, and sit down; the four regular panelists would then take turns asking them questions, to try to determine which of the iii was actually who he/she claimed to be. At the stop of the questioning the panelists would state their choices, and and so the host would request: "Will the REAL [person'southward name] please stand?"
• While first introducing Carter dressed every bit Hitler Newkirk declares "Heil Schicklegruber!" This is a reference to the fact that Hitler's last name was originally Shicklegruber, but before he was born his father had it changed. Information technology is actually a misspelling of Heidler.

Timeline Notes and Speculations [ ]

• This episode takes place earlier Heil Klink because this is the kickoff time Carter uses his Hitler impersonation to aid our heroes.
• This episode probably takes place before Happy Birthday, Adolf, given the context.
• We larn that Klink had the honor of being personally presented to Hitler at a rally in Munich soon before the war. Given Klink's penchant for exaggeration, he is probably making more of this effect than it actually was. There is a stock picture ofttimes seen in Klink's part that might show this issue. Not surprisingly, Klink is nowhere to be seen. In all likelihood, he would most likely exist 1 of the officers in the background. In real life, Klink's presentation to Hitler might accept taken place at Mecklenburg, at a presentation of German aircraft prototypes by Reichsmarshall Göring (head of the Luftwaffe), shortly before the Rally of High german Art 1939 in Munich. Klink was a Heinkel pilot at the time (Don't Forget to Write) and may have been involved in the pre-war testing of the Heinkel He 111 East. He would have been ane of many pilots "personally presented" to Hitler on this occasion ... in other words, simply another face up in the crowd (as the pic seems to imply).

Trivia [ ]

• A poster in the tavern reads "KOLN VERKEHR TAGUNG SCHAUR." This translates as "Cologne Transport Meeting" -- Schaur is a German language surname of East Prussia origin.

Quotes [ ]

Bloopers [ ]

• At the get-go of the "tag" sequence, a few seconds of footage is recycled from the Flavor two episode The Schultz Brigade - of Schultz singing happily to himself as he marches back and along outside the entrance to the cooler ("When the soldiers march through the boondocks...").
