"Is that Mozart, by any chance?"

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Col. Hogan has two RAF fliers to send home (their names are Ritchie and Donner). General Von Kaplow arrives with a briefcase chained to his wrist. What would Hogan be doing now if he weren't a prisoner? "Oh, probably bombing your headquarters."

Col. Klink plays the violin at dinner. Hogan asks if he knows "Melancholy Baby". Klink replies, "Is that Mozart, by any chance?" Hogan says, "No chance at all."

Kinch announces Hitler on the PA system, Newkirk gives his speech, "Berlin is in ruins, Hamburg is a shambles," certain negotiations are in the works, "keep smiling."

Hogan tells Klink, "You don't have to worry about going to the Russian front. The Russian front is coming here."

The fliers are disguised as a German film crew documenting the camp. They drive out in a car ordered by Klink, with microfilm of Von Kaplow's attack plans for the 4th Army Group.
