Story Notes

 * This is both the one hundred and fifty-fifth produced episode of the series, but is the one hundred and fifty-second to be shown on television, and is also the eighth episode shown for the Sixth Season.
 * A Hall of Fame baseball player is mentioned in the episode: Ty Cobb.

Timeline Notes and Speculations

 * This episode takes place sometime in early to mid-1944. It is a Hochstetter episode, and the Russian Front appears to still be in Russia.  A mid-1944 date is more likely given what Hochstetter says about Martin.  If he "loses" him, his career will be in jeopardy.  He does, and this proves to be part of that steadily growing, Hogan-built snowball that will flatten Hochstetter and have him hauled away to Berlin by the end of the year.

Quotes
Hochstetter notices that Schultz is staring rather intently at his map of sabotage activities around Stalag 13.


 * Hochstetter: "Is there anything that interests you, sergeant?"
 * Schultz: "The lines make a wheel. You draw very nicely, major."
 * Hochstetter (looking disgusted): "Danke." (He turns to Klink, pointing at Schultz) "He is not adding anything to this meeting."
 * Klink: "Except weight."
