Wow! I never knew that. What an interesting ensemble for that show. I had a huge crush on Bob Crane when I was a youngster, but I was 6 so I have an excuse.

Werner Klemperer survived a concentration camp in his youth. The guy who played LeBeau was an Auschwitz survivor. (How he could stand to be around all those Nazi uniforms, I can't figure out.)
Werner Klemperer was the son of the famous classical orchestra conductor, Otto Klemperer. I believe the whole family left Germany in the 1930's for the US. Not sure whether they were Jewish, but I think they were.

Robert Clary aka LeBeau.

Klemperer's family escaped in the 30's - from what I was reading earlier, they were never held in a concentration camp. Askin on the other hand was interred in a detention camp, and managed to leave for the US in 1940.
