Colonel Wilhelm Klink of the
Luftwaffe. Character from the TV show
Hogan's Heroes, played by
Werner Klemperer (who sadly passed on, December 2000).
Bumbling commander of the
WWII German POW Camp known as
Stalag 13. His superiors think he's finally found his niche after being an unsuitable pilot. His record at Stalag 13 is excellent...he has never had a prisoner successfully escape. He is loved by the prisoners for his lenience which allows them to conduct
sabotage and
espionage using Stalag 13 as their base.
Klink wears a
monocle and has a weakness for attractive women. He is a "
cringing bootlicker" when
General Burkhalter or
Major Hochstetter is around.
Klink appeared as a ghost-character on the
Simpsons, as someone
Homer Simpson would recognize and revere (unlike
Isaac Newton, who Homer had never heard of).
