Where Was Hogan Supposed to Bunk When Crittendon Was There?


If Hogan's room was supposed to be the Senior POW Officers office, where was Hogans supposed to bunk when Crittendon was a Prisoner at Stalag 13?

In "Hogan, Go Home" Klink told Hogan to get his stuff out of his room for Crittendon but we never really saw where Hogan was supposed to move because he spent the night in the cooler.

Please don't look for literal execution of real life situations. Not only is the show a comedy, it is also a brilliant example of the theater of the absurd, and as such, petty details like where he sleeps are irrelevant.

Try not to overthink details or apply your (likely young) logic to a satire written 50 years ago about events 70 years ago. It just doesn't matter.

I'm sure they probably had a spare bunk for him somewhere. If not, then Fraulein Hilda might have made some room in her quarters.

In the episode 13 Mar. 1970 "The Merry Widow" Countess Marlene tells Klink she would likd some caviar. Klink goes to ges some caviar and Countess Marlene goes to climb out the window with the Heroes help. Hogan says "Schultz is coming, they hide around the corner. Schultz ask Countess Marlene what she is doing, she says she is waiting for him. Schultz says "Don't start without me". Schultz sits in the chair Countess Marlene was sitting in and she says to Schultz "Close your eyes and pucker up". Countess Marlene climbs out the window with the Heroes help just as Klink is coming back into the room "talking to Countess Marlene". Schultz hears Klink and runs out of the room before Klink sees him. Hogan puts Countess Marlene in her transport car and the car leaves. Schultz then comes running out the front door of Klink's office building and Hogan says, "I was hoping it would last".
