Hi MaW...

PLEASE don't take offense to this - I realise Englsh is second language for you, and you write very well.

But whenever I read your posts I always get a picture of Sargeant Schulz from 'Hogan's Heroes' in my head!

:beer: :beer: And he was a very funny man!

"I know noooooozinnnkkk!" :) :)

Actually... just found this on a website about old Schultzy... kind of an interesting character in real life too!

 

John Banner is perhaps best remembered for his portrayal of the Luftwaffe prison camp guard Sergeant Hans Schultz in the TV series "Hogan's Heroes" (1965-1971). But there remains a certain irony: He was Jewish.

 

John Banner was born in Vienna on January 28, 1910. Because of his accent, this Austrian-Jewish actor spent much of his Hollywood career playing Nazis, starting with the propaganda drama "Seven Miles From Alcatraz" (1942). He acted in a dozen American films---both comedies and dramas--before landing the role of Sergeant Schultz.

 

In 1961, he portrayed Nazi leader Rudolf Hess in the gritty film "Operation Eichmann," which starred future "Hogan's Heroes" colleague Werner Klemperer. In 1968, Banner, Klemperer and Bob Crane co starred in the Hoganesque comedy flick "The Wicked Dreams of Paula Schultz." John later starred as Dean Jones' lovable, goofy Uncle Latzi in the short-lived CBS sitcom, "The Chicago Teddy Bears" (1971).

 

Another bit of irony, besides John Banner being Jewish and playing a guard in a POW camp... is that like his co-star on Hogan's Heroes, Robert Clary.... John Banner was in a concentration camp prior to his release and travel out of Nazi Occupied Germany (in the early part of the Nazi control of Germany, a trip to a concentration camp was not an automatic "death sentence"). So John Banner was lucky to leave just before the Nazi policies changed.

 

Sadly, he died of abdominal hemorrhage on his birthday in 1973 in his native Vienna.

This reminds me of a recent thread where P127 compared Old Hippie to Norm in "Cheers", FlyP! :D It seems the knowledge about these great series is plenty on this board!!!

 

I have not seen many episodes of "Hogans Heroes", but I loved "Fawlty Towers"... "Allo Allo"..and too many more to mention. Am I the only one who found "Mr. Bean" boring but "Black Adder" hilarious?

 

Cheers! :beer: (had 4 of them)!

I thought both Bean and Black Adder were great. Black Adder a lot more subtle, but still very funny.

Old Hippie=Norm in Cheers? Not sure about that one.

Maybe Belgian Boy is our very own Rene out of 'Allo Allo! :D
