* YouLookFamiliar: Howard Caine played a couple of one-off German officers, the above Feldkamp and Major Keitel (commander of an anti-aircraft gun battery), before settling in as the recurring Major Hochstetter. And since he played Feldkamp almost exactly like Major Hochstetter, it can become a bit confusing.

* TheCreon: While Sergeant Schultz isn't the second-in-command of the camp, being the senior noncom makes him Colonel Klink's main aide, and a few episodes mention that he could potentially take over the camp one day. This horrifies and exasperates Schultz, due to his laziness and his realization that whoever is Kommandant of the camp will constantly be manipulated, humiliated, and exposed to great danger because of Colonel Hogan's machinations. Of course, the one time a reluctant Schultz is forced into temporary command, he still gets DrunkWithPower.
