Viewers did not know that Werner Klemperer was a Jewish refugee whose family had fled Germany to escape the regime he was being paid to mock. Klemperer’s condition was absolute. Colonel Klink could never succeed. He could never appear intelligent, competent, or admirable. The Nazis would lose every time. If the scripts drifted toward dignity or threat, he would walk.

Also, John Banner (Schultz), Leon Askin (Burkhalter), and Howard Caine (Hochstetter), were Jewish refugees who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II.
