If Carter had gone home ..
"Wouldn't that have spoiled Klink's record for no escapes and jeopardized the whole operation? How would it be explained. I know its just a tv show but still !..."
💡 Did You Know?
This was Cynthia Lynn's final appearance, after 22 episodes, as Col. Klink's (Werner Klemperer) secretary 'Helga'. However, she would make two more appearances in the show's latter seasons as uncredited characters. Sigrid Valdis, as 'Hilda', would take over the secretarial role from season two onwards.
