Family Ties That Bind

Barry's uncle has his own opinion about his upcoming trip to Buchenwald. He wouldn't mind going along but hasn't been invited. Guess the telepromters take up too much room!

He's the uncle that Barry said helped to liberate Buchenwald . Problem was, he never discussed it with said uncle or he would've known it was a subcamp that he helped liberate. Seems Barry's parents liked to embelish  stories they told. I guess you could also say after you lie about something, the truth gets lost. Anyway, they aren't close but do chat if they're in the same room.

And there's definitely no shame in liberating a smaller death camp. His descripotion of it is terrible, as expected. He did an interview for a German magazine.

    Was Arte Johnson copying Sergeant Schultz on Hogan’s Heroes, or the other way around?

  2. According to what he said it came from a movie called Desperate Journey with Errol Flynn and Ronald Reagan. They play pilots shot down during WW2 and go across Germany without speaking German and their interrogator doesn't believe their story and says....very interesting!
