Werner Klemperer escaped N**i Germany, became a U.S. citizen, then won an Emmy playing one of television's most hated N**i characters. The son of a famous Jewish conductor spent his career turning the very ideology that forced him to flee into a target of ridicule.

Klemperer was born in Cologne, Germany, in 1920.

His father was Otto Klemperer, one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century.

But when the N**is rose to power, the Klemperer family became targets because they were Jewish.

They fled Germany in 1933.

Werner eventually came to the United States.

He served in the U.S. Army during World War II.

And he fought against the same N**i regime that had driven his family out.

After the war, Klemperer returned to acting.

He appeared in films including *The Desert Fox*, *Judgment at Nuremberg* and *The Wrong Man*.

But the role that made him famous was one he almost refused.

In 1965, Klemperer was cast as Colonel Wilhelm Klink on *Hogan’s Heroes*.

A N**i officer.

At first glance, it seemed like an impossible choice.

Why would the son of Jewish refugees play a N**i?

Klemperer agreed only with a condition.

The N**is could never be shown as heroic.

The joke had to be that they were incompetent fools.

And that became the entire point of the show.

Klink was arrogant.

Cowardly.

Obsessed with his own image.

He believed he was a brilliant military officer while constantly being outsmarted by Allied prisoners inside his own camp.

The character became one of television's most memorable villains turned comic figures.

Klemperer won two Emmy Awards for the role.

But he never forgot what the uniform represented.

He had personally experienced the consequences of N**i Germany.

His family had lost their homeland.

Millions had lost their lives.

And he was now using comedy to strip the regime of the power it once held.

After *Hogan’s Heroes* ended, Klemperer continued acting.

He appeared on stage and television.

He performed Shakespeare.

He also became involved with Holocaust education and spoke about his experiences leaving Germany.

Werner Klemperer died in 2000 at 80.

His life contained one of the strangest reversals in entertainment history.

A Jewish refugee from N**i Germany became famous for playing a N**i officer.

But the joke was never on the victims.

It was on the N**is.

Werner Klemperer lost his childhood home because of Hitler's regime.

Decades later, he put that same regime on television and made the world laugh at its arrogance.

He escaped the N**is.

Then he helped make them look ridiculous.
