Starring: Bob Crane, John Banner, Robert Clary, Werner Klemperer
Other mistake: In the movie, as the jeep comes up to Byron Buckles' plane, the jeep rolls through previous tracks from previous takes.
Other mistake: Usually, the picture at the podium has the microphone "bug" for Hogan, and it's blatantly obvious, except to the Germans. This time, there is no bug, but an extra picture that the boys can take the eyes out of and listen in.
Trivia: During WW2 Robert Clary, who played Louis LeBeau, had been imprisoned at Drancy internment camp in France, and at Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp where he was tattooed with the number "A5714." He was the youngest of 14 children. Twelve members of his immediate family were sent to Auschwitz, and perished.
Question: What exactly is the "cooler"?
