who played major hochstetter on hogan's heroes?
howard caine
caine is most commonly remembered for his recurring role (37 episodes) as major hochstetter on the 1960s sitcom "hogan's heroes" (1965-1971). prior to that he appeared on that show in two other roles, in the season one episode "happy birthday, adolf" and the season two episode "the battle of stalag 13". the major hochstetter character first appeared later in season two. hochstetter is a feared gestapo officer who strongly suspects the prisoners, particularly colonel hogan, are engaged in clandestine activities, but he is never able to confirm his suspicions and usually ends up getting his comedic comeuppance. hochstetter had several catchphrases, including (referring to hogan) "who is this man?" and "what is this man doing here?", and "i will surround this camp with a ring of steel". he would also shout "baah!" when frustrated by the camp’s incompetent commanding officer, colonel klink. the major self-identifies as a gestapo agent but dresses in the uniform of the ss, schutzstaffel.
