It made it down to the dominions, but i can say i only remember it as a re-run. Too young:) I really enjoyed it.

Yes, definitely. Probably just before your time though..........early seventies.

I'm sure it will be on one of the digital channels as a repeat sometime - worth a look :)

Now I remember hearing a long time ago when Bob Crane was still alive that Werner Kempler (Col Klink) was a real prison camp commandant during the war. Anyone else confirm this?

Ok, found this on a H.H. fan club site:

"Werner Klemperer was born in Cologne, Germany, on March 22, 1920. The son of renowned German-Jewish conductor Otto Klemperer, he and his father fled Germany after Hitler came to power in the 1930s."

I also saw him in a US Navy training film as a U-Boat commander.

Bob Crane was murdered in 1978 by yet unknown person or persons.

A movie was made about Bob Crane and the murder: "Auto Focus" in 2002, starring Greg Kinnear.
