Have you ever seen Werner Klemperer in "Operation Eichmann"? He could play heavy roles too. John Banner has a small part as well.

Fun fact #1: Werner Klemperer agreed to play Colonel Klink, but only under the condition that Klink would be a fool who never succeeded.

Fun fact #2: The actors who played the main German characters were all Jews who had fled the Nazis, and later served in the American army.

Fact #3 (not so fun): I can’t watch the show. Even bumbling Nazis aren’t funny. But that’s just me. Your mileage may vary.
