Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA previous post said there was no laugh track at all, which was refuted by a critic here. There is a very faint laugh track on the MeTV rerun of this episode. However, it was so quiet that it barely registered on the show.
- GoofsWhy would the guards be playing cards in the banquet room? They should be standing at the door guarding the room.
- Quotes
Col. Wilhelm Klink: [reading a list of invited people to the meeting] It doesn't have the name "Colonel Klink" in there. Probably an oversight at headquarters.
General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: I consider it the perfect oversight.

Featured review
CBS experiment soon discarded
As television was developing in the mid-to-late 1960's, the three networks did a good bit of experimenting with show formats, story lines, novelties, special effects, and backgrounds. In the 1967-68 series, One of the things that CBS decided to try was elimination the laugh track on a comedy that was considered to be "intelligent." "Hogan's Heroes," which was a comedy with serious elements, fit the bill as well as any other on the air at the time, so the network decided to eliminate the laugh track during one episode to see if the comic element could stand on its own merits. Ratings showed that the laugh track was needed, and it was used thereafter, although CBS did lessen its use in certain situations, such as the operating-room scenes in M*A*S*H after the first two seasons.
The story itself is well-done here and is a cut above most in the series.
