Ah, Major Hochstetter. Howard Caine had the best role in the series, the small yet menacing Gestapo officer who spewed threats left and right ("Heads vill ROLL, Klink"). Angry, ineffectual, and just plain brilliant.
Caine passed away not long ago; I recall a thread here where he was discussed. Born in Nashville, he was an accomplished folk musician and won dozens of awards for fiddle and 5-string banjo. A southern, banjo-playing Jew - wearing a gestapo uniform! Not even Spock would've dared to estimate the odds of *that* happening.
