Master Sergeant Hans Schultz of the old TV show “Hogan’s Heroes” is many things, but a Nazi isn’t one of them. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In one of his previous posts, this writer uses a mash-up image that combines an image of Sgt. Schultz with an image of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. In response to the image, one TMV reader responded, “Well you certainly put Ms. Wasserman-Schultz in her place – a Jewish lady in a German man’s Nazi uniform complete with helmet. And you did it all yourself you say? Nice.”
There is just one problem with the reader’s statement: Sgt. Schultz wasn’t a Nazi, and he never wore a Nazi uniform. Aficionados of the Hogan’s Heroes TV show know that Sgt. Schultz was an anti-Nazi member of the then-outlawed Social Democratic Party.
Thus, it seemed reasonable to this writer that an image of a Social Democrat be mashed up with an image of a Democrat Party official who won’t say what the difference is between a Socialist and a Democrat.
By the way, aficionados of the Hogan’s Heroes TV show also know that actor John Banner, who portrayed Sgt. Schultz, was an Austrian Jew who was a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp shortly after Nazi Germany annexed Austria. Banner was released from the camp, after which time he entered the USA as a war refugee. Sadly, his family wasn’t able to escape from the Nazis, and they all died in the Nazi concentration camps.
