Character Information

Oberst (Colonel) Wilhelm Klink is a character from the comedy series Hogan's Heroes. In Hogan's Heroes, Klink was portrayed by Werner Klemperer and was an old-line Luftwaffe officer of aristocratic descent, as well as a social climber.
In The Simpsons, Klink (voiced by Klemperer) appeared in "The Last Temptation of Homer". In the episode, Homer was knocked unconscious and his conscience appeared to him in the form of Isaac Newton. When Homer didn't know who Newton was, his conscience became Klink. Klink shows Homer what his life would have had he married Mindy Simmons and not Marge, revealing it would be great for each party. Klink is not really Colonel Klink, merely part of Homer's imagination, so can not confirm if the 'real' Kilnk received any of Homer's letters, nor does he care when Homer tells him that "Hogan had tunnels all over [his] camp." However, when Homer leads pleads that Klink has "foresaken" him, Klink reappears and seems genuinely concerned when Homer tells him "Kinch had a radio in the coffee pot."
