Yep. Still haven't found the promo for Hogan's Heroes that a local station in Boston did when they set it to the rap/song De La Soul's "Me Myself and I" (which itself is based on The Funkadelic's Not Just Knee Deep). #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
After the series ended, he only reprised the role once more - in an episode of the Simpsons as Homer's Guardian Angel... #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
He accepted the part only on the condition that Klink would be portrayed as a fool who never succeeded. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
When it came to his role as Colonel Klink on Hogan's Heroes, Klemperer was conscious that he would be playing the role of a German officer during the Nazi regime. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
Klemperer's Hogan's Heroes co-star, John Banner (Schulz) would also play a few Nazis in his career and was also Jewish. He also lost a large number of family members in the Holocaust. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
Ken Burns in his documentary about this very issue that came out a few years ago and some of the documentaries on Anne Frank detail this effort. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
They failed in their efforts to bring Anne and her family over even though the family, especially Otto Frank, met the immigration requirements of that time. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
Something that the aunt and cousins of Anne Frank that were living in America were all too familiar with. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
He tried to get other members of the family out but was unsuccessful and many of them died in the Holocaust. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
His father was renowned orchestra conductor Otto Klemperer, who managed to get his family out of Germany in 1933 and thru luck was able to remain in the United States, where he secured a job with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
Werner Klemperer, playing one of a number of Nazis he would play in his career, was actually Jewish. German Jewish, he was born in Cologne. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
Belsen...where Anne Frank and her sister Margot were sent...and where they died. They could've been one of the bodies they bulldozed into the mass grave. #OscarsGoToCourt #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
We’re attacking Iran right now so., see all you cool cats later.

So Hollywood gave the Academy Award to the actor defending Nazis instead of Paul Newman or Spencer Tracy?
Well fuck me.

I guess it’s appropriate to watch this as a new war is popping off. #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
34th Academy Awards in 1962 was the shit, every nominee had a legitimate claim to the award. Fantastic.
Exhibit A through D.

Based on their only on-screen pairing in Judgment at Nuremberg, Marlene Dietrich and Spencer Tracy displayed a compelling, subtle chemistry that suggests they could have been a fascinating—if perhaps complicated—pair

Richard Widmark is always so intense in his work.

Widmark’s got the best dialogue. #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
Montgomery's performance is so profound. 😓❤️ #JudgmentAtNuremberg #TCMParty
Never the same after the car crash at Liz Taylor’s house.
One of my mom’s and grandmother’s favorite actors.

Omg, Montgomery Clift breaks my heart. #JudgmentAtNuremberg #TCMParty
I always thought the scene in the kitchen with the German couple was so exemplary of so many Germans after the war. #JudgmentAtNuremberg #TCMParty
So it looks like Christine Vole beat the murder rap. #OscarsGoToCourt #WitnessToTheProsecution #31DaysOfOscar #TCMParty #JudgmentAtNuremberg
The first Nazi camp liberated by US forces was Ohrdruf, a subcamp of Buchenwald on April 4, 1945. Following his visit, General Eisenhower cabled General George C. Marshall, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, describing his trip to Ohrdruf:
