Hogans Heroes
- Thread starter tlyle
- Start date
Schultz would return to being the CEO of the Shotzi Toy Company (his company had to shutdown for the war effort). Ironically, Klink would be an employee of the Shotzi Toy Company. I know that Sgt. Kinchloe worked for the phone company. Corporal LeBeau would become an gourmet chef in Paris. As for Hogan, Newkirk and Carter..... who knows.
Sgt. Shultz, a toymaker before the war, goes back to his old company and eventually retires as Vice President of Product Development after a long and prosperous career. He dies after choking on large quantities of apple strudel.
Col. Klink resigns his military commission and takes a job as floorwalker in a large Hanover department store. He never marries.
Col. Hogan returns to the States, resigns his commission and becomes a partner in a Florida land development company. His body is later found in a seedy Orlando motel with a fish wrapped in newspaper on his chest.
Gen. Buchalter retires to his estate in East Prussia and lives with his spinster sister Gertrude. He dies at age 93 after consuming three liters of beer and a dozen sausages at a local beirgarten. His sister remains on the estate still searching for a suitable husband.
Maj. Hochstetter immigrates to Argentina where he becomes chief of security at a large bank. He dies young after a series of strokes caused by continuous rage.
Sgt. Kinchloe returns to the States and resumes his college education which was interrupted by the war. He graduates with honors and becomes a senior engineer at Bell Labs where he is instrumental in the development of microwave and satellite communications. He marries his high school sweetheart and they eventually have seven children, one of whom is a published poet and another leads a medical team which pioneers open heart surgery. Several years before his death Kinchloe writes his memoirs which include "How To Make A Shortwave Radio Out Of A Coffee Pot and Ordinary Tableware".
Sgt. Carter returns to his midwest hometown, lives with his widowed mother and becomes a pharmacist. After his mother dies he marries a widow with three children one of whom blows up a federal building.
Cpl. Newkirk returns to his native England but work is hard to get so he immigrates to the USA where he makes his way to Hollywood and becomes a game show host. His most notable achievement is "the survery says!".
Cpl. LeBeau returns to his native Paris and becomes a gormet chef in a famous restaurant. Unfortunately his career is cut short by an outbreak of salmonella and is forced to become a ships cook in the Japanese whaling fleet. Tragically he dies falling out of an apartment window after entertaining his boss's wife.
Hilda returns to her native Munich where she marries early and often. Comfortably wealthy she retires to a seaside estate in the Greek islands.

Oooohhh...Fanfic invades Radio-Info.com! At least nobody made the obvious joke about Hogan becoming a producer of adult films.
My guess on Newkirk: He was somehow mixed up in the Great Train Robbery of 1963.
Now, how about Colonel Crittendon? He must have gotten some sort of civil service job in the UK, and since he was a pretty silly chap, maybe he was the first director of the Ministry Of Silly Walks?

Kinch was the original McGyver 20 years ahead of his time.
Newkirk tried to patent kissable lip balm but the Chapstick people have blocked his efforts to this very day.
And Major Hochstetter also tried the game show route, using his rage to host "WHAT IS THIS MAN DOING HERE???" Alas, despite stunt-guesting from Col Hogan and the Stalag 13 guard dogs, the series was cancelled after just 9 episodes when the entire sound crew sued him for loss of hearing.

Col Crittendon and his business partner, Samantha, a blonde woman who claimed to have supernatural witchy powers and wrinkled her nose alot, formed their own company called The Dr. Bombay Company, selling furniture and home goods. Samantha left; Darren, the VP of Sales, was replaced by someone who looked almost exactly like him; and the name changed to Bombay. Sadly, the company closed for good a year ago.
Col. Klink is tried at Nuremberg as a Class "B" war criminal, much to his vanity's chagrin, and serves three years at Bad Mondorf. Following his release, He tries and fails at several jobs, Marries a matronly seamstress who is good natured and has the patience of 10 saints, then finally succeeds when he develops Germany's first background music service for businesses, elevators, and telephone hold systems.
Sgt. Schultz goes back to his toy company, only to lose control of it once again when the East German government nationalizes everything. He manages to defect to the West, and becomes a successful insurance salesman.
Col. Hogan is assigned by the Air Force to be an Intelligence Training Officer. After much red tape, he marries Hilda. In an odd twist, Hilda is the unfaithful one and after divorcing Hogan, marries an official in the Eisenhower administration, and hosts many Washington DC parties for the social elite. After Hilda's new husband pulls political strings and has Hogan assigned to meaningless duty at low end bases, Hogan retires from the Air Force and becomes Director of Corporate Security for Sears & Roebuck in Chicago. He re-marries and has four children.
Sgt. Kinchloe returns to the phone company. After years of job boredom, in 1962 becomes Chief Engineer of a new UHF station in San Bernardino, Ca.
Sgt. Carter returns to the drug store as a pharmacist. After several years of saving money, he opens his own drug store in Las Vegas, where he develops a gambling problem. After selling the store and going through Gambler's Anonymous, he meets a slightly older female pharmacist from Bisbee, Arizona, they marry, and relocate there to run the local pharmacy.
Cpl. LeBeau decides to relocate to New York in 1949, and opens his own successful French restaurant. He hobnobs with the rich and famous, buys several rental properties, and becomes a Lower East Side slumlord.
Cpl. Newkirk becomes a professional magician, marries a four-alarm blond who also doubles as his on-stage assistant, and they host their own children's show on British TV. In 1956, his wife is kidnapped and held for ransom. She ends up falling for her abductor, divorces Newkirk, and marries her kidnapper, who at her appeals to the authorities, never serves any prison time. Newkirk then hires and marries a new assistant, a buxom brunette.
Gen. Burkhalter, after spending years threatening Klink with being sent to the Russian Front, is employed by the East German government as a liason at the East German Embassy - in Moscow. He buys all of his suits via mail order from a Sears & Roebuck catalog that he always keeps handy.
Major Hochstetter becomes a policeman in Dusseldorf. He spends the rest of his life hoping that Der Fuhrer is in secret hiding, preparing to reclaim leadership when a super weapon is finished.
Col. Crittendon starts his own company that manufactures aluminum slides for parks and schoolyards. As his way of giving back to the community, he starts a new charity: Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches For the Poor.

...hmmm...and all this time I thought Hogan became Ed Wood's preferred cinematographer ;D ...
Shultz drops the extra weight, emigrates to the United States and becomes a body builder - then an action movie star by the 1970s, starring most notably in the Death Wish series of films. He then becomes Governor of California in 1975, succeeding Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, since he was not born in the US, he cannot become President, (his ultimate ambition), but is appointed Secretary of Defense by President George HW Bush.

Better him than the guy who's Guvnor now.
This from a lifelong California resident.
I can just see his press conferences now: When there's a state budget crisis, like there is every year, Schultz would approach the podium with the forest of mics in front of him and say, "I KNOW NOTHING!"
Sgt. Schultz becomes a kids' TV show host-complete with farmer sidekick, puppet rabbit who takes Schultz's carrots, a puppet moose who drops ping-pong balls on Schultz, and a talking grandfather clock. I always thought John Banner-at least with hat on-bore a rough resemblance to Bob "Captain Kangaroo" Keeshan. Also, Burkhalter tries to marry his sister to Hockstedder, who tries to refuse, but Burkhalter insists they marry each other.
