Chapter 18: The Next Day….

Hogan, our mysterious Papa Bear, whistled as he made his way to Kommandant Klink's office. He had gotten rid of Crittendon and Marya in one fell swoop, and Hitler, though now extremely depressed, had finally kicked his pothead ways. Also, he was almost guaranteed no more trouble from Hochstetter. He strolled nonchalantly into the foyer.

"Guten Morgen, Frauline-." he stopped, realizing the secretary before him was not his Helga, who had been cold and distant as of late.

"Hilda," she finished for him.

"Oh. I'm here to see the Kommandant. Is he busy?"

"Yes."

"Oh, okay then." Hogan walked into Klink's office. 'A whole new beginning!' he thought to himself.

Hogan walked in to find Klink, Frau Linkmeyer, General Burkhalter, and Hitler saying their good-byes. Hogan joined in, saying, "Good-bye all! Me and the guys go over the wire tonight."

"Hogaaaan," Klink growled.

"Just kidding, Kommandant. I wouldn't ruin your perfect record…I wouldn't be able to sleep at night!" quipped Hogan.

"Then what are you doing here?" asked General Burkhalter.

"I heard shooting."

"You heard the hunters. It's rabbit season," said Frau Linkmeyer.

"It's duck season," argued the General.

The door opened. "Stop fighting!" said the newcomer.

"Franz!" cried Frau Linkmeyer, running into his arms.

"Gertrude! Where were you?" asked Franz. "I've been looking for you since you I got home," he added.

"Who are you?" wondered Hogan.

"This is General Franz Linkmeyer," said Burkhalter, "and my brother-in-law." With that, he got in on the hug. Klink looked so happy, he could have started doing cartwheels.

And so, we leave our heroes and their adversaries. They all live happily ever after, 'til the end of the war.

A/N and Disclaimer: We don't own the Russian movie "The White Sun of the Desert" or Bugs and Daffy. Also, to reiterate: we don't own (in order of appearance): Hogan's Heroes, Hitler, "The Lion King", "The Princess Bride", the Beatles, any of the Beatles' songs or movies, "My Fair Lady", Russian fairy tales, the Hammelburg Hotel, Lenin, Star Wars, pot, "Father Goose", Roald Dahl, Stalin, "Young Frankenstein", Zaika Mya, The Series of Unfortunate Events, Commander Windgate, Anna Karinina, "The White Sun of the Desert", or Looney Tunes!

We don't intend to undermine Hitler (or Stalin, for that mater) and his terrible regime. But remember, Hogan's Heroes in and of itself is a spoof. It pokes fun at war movies. Hitler was terrible, but if you separate him from his beliefs, fascism is very laughable, as a philosophy (at least in our opinion). Adolph Hitler was an awful mad man. Thank you for reading our story. And So Long, Farewell, Auf Weidersehn, Good Bye! Adieu, Adieu to you and you and you! Doot-de-de-doot-de-dooty

The End

(Don't own the movie, "The Sound of Music", nor the song, "So long, fair well…" Dang, now that's stuck in the Midget's head!)
