Wasn't Benedict Arnold a colonel

 

He was a general when he plotted to give up West Point. I think he may have been a colonel when he saved Granny Gates' reputation at Saratoga, though.

Hogan and Klink.

 

Sometimes, I'm still blown away that a comedy partially about Nazis was not only made, but well-received.

Thing is all the Nazis were Jews -Klink. Schultz, Hochstetter (he was from Tennessee and a great banjo player), Burkhalter . Even LeBeau is a Jew. Robert Clary was in a concentration camp as a teen. he is the only major actor still alive (he's 91). Werner Klemperer said that if they wrote a script where Klink prevailed over hogan, he would quit on the spot.

What a great show that was. I still catch reruns from time to time. There's at least one good laugh in every episode, even after all these years.

Good point.

 

An earlier generation knew how to get through such unspeakable horrors, yet add normalcy/humor. Was there an outcry about the show or were people just not hyper sensitized?

Interesting!

Do Americans have a tendency to lump the German Army, Air Force, Waffen SS and Gestapo into the same category?

 

Schultz and Klink were nothing close to being Nazis.

Yes, pretty much.
