Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHeavy water and atomic bombs. Heavy water contains an isotope of hydrogen with an extra neutron, it was necessary for controlling U235 fission reactors. Those reactors were necessary to make the fissile plutonium isotopes used in atomic bombs. Famously, the world's whole supply of heavy water (just a couple hundred pounds) was smuggled out of Norway and into Scotland just before the Nazis invaded.
- GoofsIn order to set up the second scientist's escape, the prisoners cause a coolant leak in Hochstetter's car. In order to fix the leak, Newkirk asks for a hammer, which can be found in the trunk of the car. The scientist goes to get it, but, instead, crawls into the trunk. After the car is repaired, Schultz demands to know where the prisoner sent to get the hammer is. LeBeau turns up with it and gives the hammer to Schultz. The problem is that, since Schultz overheard the request for the hammer (as he was supposed to), he would also have overheard that the hammer was in the trunk. Therefore, the obvious next move for Schultz would be to put the hammer back in the trunk of the car - thus revealing the scientist hidden in the trunk.
- Quotes
Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: [trying to find the three scientist] I'll send to headquarters in Hammelburg. I will be here every single day until I find these men.
Col. Wilhelm Klink: I assure you I shall give the Gestapo my complete cooperation, Major Hochstetter.
Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Ja. Even that will not discourage me.
Featured review
Major Hochstetter is on the prow
Three atomic scientist, who have been working for the Nazis, make their way to Stalag 13 in an attempt to escape Germany. From an experience on the road, they believe that Hogan and his men can help them get out of the country. But before Hogan can act, the Gestapo alerts Klink to arrest the three men and hold them for Major Hochstetter.
But because Klink's calls were being monitored, Hogan has the upper hand and hides the scientist in the tunnel. Now Hochstetter is combing the prison camp in order to find the three men. The Major does not plan on leaving the area until the three turn up.
Even though the concept of how the three finally end up leaving the camp is utterly preposterous, it did the chance for Howard Caine (Hochstetter) to perform his usual greatness as the stubborn and pompous Major. The way Mr Caine plays the role always makes for an comedy filled show. There is some good moments in the show that make for an enjoyable time. Good watch.
