My favorite bit is how whenever Klink gets into trouble Hogan always finds a way to pin it on Burkhalter so he will clean it up lest he get sent to the Russian Front.
During my readings of WW2, a common theme was Stalin badgering Churchill to open a Second Front because he felt that Russia was fighting the Germans all by themselves. But from winter of 1941 on, those Russians were chewing the Germans up inch by inch.
Invading Russia was probably the biggest mistake Hitler made.
HH was the true genesis of the Hollywood “catch phrase”. From Schultz’s “I know nothing!”, to “Whatchoo talkinbout Willis?” to Joey’s, “How YOU doin’?”.
Sitcom gold.
