General Burkhalter Is Dead

This just in...This just in...

Nazi General Burkhalter is dead. Burkhalter who amongst other duties was in charge of the famous prisoner of war camp where allied war hero Col. Hogan was held. Burkhalter often pushed a harder line than camp commander Col. Clink.

FYI...actor Leon Askin who played Burkhalter in "Hogan's Heroes" passed over at the age of 97. Did you know was born into a Jewish family in Vienna and fled to the US to avoid Nazi persecution?
