Cpl. Peter Newkirk: Sir, I think this time we've bit off more than we can chew.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: All we've gotta do is get Klink to believe there's a rocket gun factory in England, get him to pry the location out of Carter, then he notifies the Luftwaffe, they send over their bombers, our anti-aircraft knock 'em off, and we've relieved the pressure on London. Simple.
Col. Robert E. Hogan: [looks from one silent POW to the next] You know what? I think we've bit off more than we can chew.
Carter is suppose to bait Klink into calling for a local General where the location of the fake plant will be revealed. So when General Von Lintzer arrives at Stalag 13, the General wants to take credit for the information leaving Klink on the sidelines. But little does Klink know, the sidelines is the safest place.
The only thing that seemed incorrect about the story was how foolish the writer made Carter. I feel sure they felt like it would provide some comic value to the script but all it did was make one of our heroes look like a idiot or shall we say dummkopf. There is some good lines in this episode but they are few and far between. After some really entertaining shows this seemed like a let down.
