Ho--GANN!! It's more of Season Four:
- LeBeau "escapes" to allow Hogan to go "capture" him, so that they can sabotage a Nazi war plant in "Man in a Box". The result is Schultz tailing Hogan, and Klink tailing Schultz--all in trench costs. It's like an episode of Get Smart.
- Hogan has a plan to kidnap Burkhalter and then trade him for an underground agent prisoner. Unfortunately, it all goes wrong, and Klink becomes the prisoner--he's "The Missing Klink"! There's several great scenes with Askin and Caine--they are rarely together without Klemperer.
- Klink's getting an award for his great work as a Kommandant, and he's getting it from a British defector. Unfortunately, Hogan has orders to take out the defector. Klink wants to know "Who Stole My Copy of Mein Kampf?" The defector is played by Ruta Lee. She's worked in TV since an episode of "The Adventures of Superman" in 1953, and was just on Days of Our Lives.
- A beautiful general's daughter (what else?) is also an underground agent, and wants Hogan to get "Operation Hannibal" plans to the Allies. Jack Riley (Mr. Carlin on the Bob Newhart Show) has a minor role. The only memorable thing about the episode is the poor art direction. There's a shot of an estate that is a photograph with the "Ken Burns" effect, and on multiple shots behind Crane at the Stalag, the background is clearly a painting.
- Klink and Schultz try to set up Hogan with a Baroness in order to get his secrets. Of course, he's not fooled--he uses her to fool Hochstedder with fake invasion plans. He's "My Favorite Prisoner". John Orchard plays a British agent--he played three roles on the series, and later was "Ugly John" in the early episodes of M*A*S*H.
- We're back in generic sitcom territory--Burkhalter's sister is back, and Hogan has to help Klink get out of marrying her. This time, however, she is played by Alice Ghostley. She was a staple of 60's TV, appearing on Get Smart, It Takes a Thief, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and most importantly, Bewitched. She played Esmerelda, they shy witch / babysitter.

He guest starred on many TV shows from the 1950's (My Little Margie), 60's (Beverly Hillbillies), 70's (Lou Grant), and 80's (The Incredible Hulk).
