The only situation comedy I’ve ever seen where good outsmarted evil every week.

IIRC Werner Klemperer insisted that Klink was never allowed to win, not even once.

The few times he "won" it was simply to keep his incompetent ass in place, so the leads could keep doing their thing.

There's a really great fan theory that Klink was actually a allied spy who was intentionally fucking up every week to try to help the POWs escape without letting on that he was helping them.

I don't like that fan theory, but it is funny to consider what that would imply.

Klink would have been pulling what's left of his hair out as day after day he weakens the security of his camp to allow the prisoners to escape, and instead not a single POW escapes the entire war
