(29,046 posts)1. Col. Klink is gay, and has a massive crush on Hogan that makes him so helpless against Hogan's charms and manipulations. Hogan knows this and has this secret in his back pocket to blackmail Klink if necessary (but he doesn't want to). In my world, the pickelhaube Klink has on his desk is from his dead lover from WWI, which is why Klink is so protective of it. (yeah, I'm one of "those" women). In the backstory, Klink and his lover were WWI flying aces, until his lover went down in flames, and Klink never got over it, and is a shell of the man he once was. Yes, I've spent wayyyy to much of my life on this show. But I'm happy with my life choices, haha!
2. General Burkhalter has always hated Hitler and the Nazis and is an inside saboteur. He knows exactly what Hogan is, although he can't acknowledge it. That's why he keeps giving Klink important assignments that he knows Hogan will thwart.
3. Major Hochstetter is a Jew, who infiltrated the Gestapo. He also "somehow" keeps bungling his job as well.
In my fantasy world, everyone is a good guy!
Haha!
