    So I am beginning to lose track of the 2016 death count, it's feels like they are dropping like flies.

            A couple things I heard about the series a while back. One was that the actor who played LeBeau was the last survivor of the cast - I guess they were referring to the "everyday" cast, not including common guest stars (which would mean Major Hochsteader and General Burkhalter would be unknown status - although given the latter's age and build it would be safe to assume he's no longer with us).

            Another bit of trivia is that most of the actors playing Germans were Jewish (Col. Klink definitely - and a clause in his contract was that Klink would not be shown as anything except a bumbling idiot).

              General Burkhalter (Leon Askin) passed away June 3, 2005, and Major Hochstetter (Howard Caine) passed away December 28, 1993.

                IIRC Werner Klemper's contract didn't have that clause, but he deliberately played Col. Klink as a bumbler as he didn't want to glorify the Nazi's.

                IIRC John Banner and Robert Clary both spent time in concentration camps as well...

                It's odd like that. But during WWII this was the norm. Helmut Dantine was an Austrian who fled just after the Anschluss (Germany's takeover of Austria in 1938) with his family, only to play Nazi's during the war. And Martin Kosleck (an outspoken critic of the Nazi's) fled Germany just one step ahead of a Gestapo squad carrying a death warrant signed by Goebbels himself. He played Goebbels no fewer than five times, and when asked about it said it was good to be able to show the Nazi's for what they were...
