General Hans Stofle

Generalleutnant  Hans Stofle is a fictional character who appeared in the Hogan's Heroes episode, Hello, Zollie. He was played by Gilbert Green.

General Stofle is one of Colonel Klink's old friends from the Academy, one year below him, and has apparently given Klink his dueling scar (it is not known exactly where the scar is, as it has never been mentioned before the episode or since). Klink's nickname for him is "Hansy", while Klink's is "Putzig", most likely due to some in-joke or incident at the Academy. After General Stofle is captured by the Gestapo, who believes him to be an Allied spy, it can be assumed that his friendship with Klink ended.
