Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the song that LeBeau was singing in the show 'Alouette', the literal translation of 'Alouette, Gentille Alouette; Alouette, Je te plumerai' is 'Lark, Nice Lark; Lark, I am going to pluck you'. 'Je te plumerai la tête' means 'I will pluck your head.' 'Je te plumerai' means 'I will pluck you' or 'I will fleece you' or 'I will take you for every cent you have'. While he was singing, LeBeau was sometimes making a plucking gesture.
- GoofsAfter Hogan meets with Klink to discuss the party (where Klink says it might become quite a diversion), there is a fade out/in to meeting with Hogan, Newkirk, LeBeau, and Kinchloe at the corner of Barracks 2. LeBeau says, "I will personally hold him spellbound with my repertoire of songs, dances and snappy patters." As LeBeau is saying this, Kinchloe has a pencil in his right hand, writing some notes on a sheet of paper he has in his left hand. There is a cut to a side view of the four men, and now Kinchloe has the end of the pencil in his mouth.

Featured review
German war games goes terribly wrong.
At the beginning of this episode we learn that the SS is having some war games near the prison camp. The camp is visited by a ruthless SS Colonel named Deutsch. Deutsch has one of these personalities where dark cloud seem to gather wherever he wonders. Nevertheless, the uncaring Colonel is placed in charge of the war games and Hogan now has an idea about helping the war games play out to the Allied advantage.
If only Hogan and his men can get some live ammunition mixed into the fake games ammo then it will cause havoc among the SS troops and even delay or prevent the unit from being deployed. In order to get the live rounds into the games Hogan is going to need a diversion. And it just so happens to be Klink's birthday. Hogan has an idea.
This is an amusing story as the gang will put on a show for the Commandant's birthday. We get in on the song and dance show as the Heroes do their best as a diversion tactic. The story seemed fresh as the show was a new angle on causing problems for the enemy. It's nice to see the writers try new material that enhances the experience for the viewer. In this episode the material made for an entertaining show.
