<DIV><TT><SPAN class=968562319-25082005> </SPAN>And what I<BR>remember of
the show, I don't think they tried to emphasize Klink as the<BR>stereotypical
German who ordered everyone around, he was a foolish<BR>character who
sometimes would feel like he should be sterner with the<BR>prisoners but it
usually wouldn't last, he was so completely in awe of<BR>Hogan's American
self-confidence and glibness.<BR><BR>Although, Klink did have a monocle, which
is the classic Anglophone<BR>trademark of a German officer. Is it so for
Germans, as a classic mark of a<BR>Prussian officer, I
wonder? <SPAN class=968562319-25082005><FONT face=Arial
