    He was good comedic character actor. When you watch the old reruns from the 70's and 80's he shows up in a lot of stuff. RIP Larry Storch.

    I loved F Troop as a kid. Watching it as an adult, I prefer to view it as very silly satire.

    Just like Hogans Heroes. Let’s make concentration camps Campy and Nazis fun!

    The actor who played Klink was German. Would only play him if he was allowed to make him a clueless buffoon.

    Storch also played in a couple of episodes of one of my favorite sitcoms, Gomer Pyle USMC. He played Gen. Manuel Cortez.

    Re: RIP Larry Storch

    Totally random fact: Storch was the first person to imitate Cary Grant by saying “Judy, Judy, Judy”. As the story goes, he was doing his standup act at a club in Miami Beach, and while he was doing his Cary Grant impression, Judy Garland walked in. Without missing a beat, still in character as Cary Grant, he said, “Judy, Judy, Judy…I love you, I love you, I love you”. The crowd loved it, and he kept it in his act. Eventually it became the cliche way of impersonating Cary Grant for everyone; I remember Goober on “Andy Griffith” doing his own, very bad version of it.

    Klink, Schulz, and Burkhalter were all Jewish, I believe. HH was underrated. Gene Reynolds, one of the guys behind MASH, directed a ton of episodes. I was always surprised that many of the plots ended with Nazi's being killed, something kind of unusual for a half-hour comedy.

    And Robert Clary who played LeBeau was a survivor of Buchenwald concentration camp
