Go To

Hogan's operation is threatened by the arrival of two German officers with grand plans: one officer is interested in transforming the camp into an officer's retirement home, and the other plans to use it as a base for interrogating local citizens.

Tropes:

  • Butt-Monkey: Colonel Klink finds himself in the unenviable position of being ensnared in the Interservice Rivalry between General von Kattenhorn and Colonel Feldkampf. Near the episode's end, even he considers a transfer to the Eastern Front a better fate than dealing with von Kattenhorn and Feldkampf.
    Colonel Klink: [glumly] "Yesterday, I was only worried about the Russian Front. Today, it looks like paradise!"
  • False Flag Operation / Dressing as the Enemy: As part of their plan to rescue Greta and deepen the feud between General von Kattenhorn and Colonel Feldkampf, Hogan and his men dressed themselves as Wehrmacht soldiers following von Kattenhorn's orders when they hold Feldkampf and the Gestapo at gunpoint and steal his car.
  • Interservice Rivalry: Exploited by Colonel Hogan and the Heroes as they pit General von Kattenhorn of the Wehrmacht and Colonel Feldkampf of the Gestapo against each other.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Greta from the Hammelburg Underground gives this to Hogan at the episode's beginning when the Heroes' widespread sabotage activities has brought the unwelcome attention of the Gestapo to the area.
  • You Look Familiar: Colonel Feldkampf of the Gestapo is played by Howard Caine who would return in a reoccuring role as Major Hochstetter.
