War sometimes makes toymakers into philosophers. And jawohl, we always knew that he knew if not everything, at least most of it.

What a beautiful piece. Stories from Schultz's view are few and far between, but this is one of the best ones I've read. Your natural narrative voice is absolutely gorgeous, and I loved how you gave each of the boys a short moment with him. Each one was perfectly in character. Thank you for sharing this with us!

An emotional and thought portrayal of Schultz. Nicely done. A lot of historical references to last months of war. Fear of Russians, food shortages, the Allied raids going unanswered by the Luftwaffe. Klink's pacing and Hogan's fatigue fit very well. I like how you made LeBeau older than Hogan. (actually 2 years if you count the actors ages). Welcome to our fandom! Brava!

Very powerful portrayal of Schultz here- you really brought his character to life. Some of your dialogue could be lifted right from the series. If Hogan's Heroes ever had a proper series finale, this would have fit right in.
The paragraph about Colonel Klink pacing his office was so descriptive that I could see it happening. I like how Schultz seems to exude respect and sympathy for Klink. I wished the respect happened the other way around.
Your description of Hogan being weary and tired is also vivid- I can easily visualize the 6th season Hogan. I have to wonder if there is more to Hogan's weariness than worry about future with Hilda and missing Kinch- possible knowledge of some other thing like the Holocaust or other WW2 horrors, maybe?

You brought Sgt. Schultz to life. Enjoyed how you revealed so much more of the man we came to love on the show. The toy-maker without guile.
This was delightful.

This is the essential Schultz, a decent man with his own share of foibles and his own share of regrets, facing a very uncertain situation with understandable trepidation. But he still shows concern for others, and above all, hope for the future. No wonder we love him! Very nice job.

That was a very lovely story that made me smile. It was melancholy and hopeful at the same time. Thank you.

This is excellent portrait of a pensive Schultz, looking out over the camp and across the years. You captured every one of the prisoners perfectly, down to the small gestures - Carter's sloping grin, Newkirk's hand to the heart. Beautiful work - brava!
