      ADD TRIVIA
      • Despite Colonel von Zeppel's Prussian background, F Troop's resident German, Trooper Hoffenmueller, does not appear in this episode. Edit
      • The opening scene in this episode showcases Ken Berry's talent for physical comedy with an extended sequence where he reads a letter while obliviously going around, through and over hazards in his path. Edit

      ADD NOTES
      • Ivan Bell (Duddleson) is uncredited. Edit

    • Quotes

      ADD QUOTES
      • Col. von Zeppel: This fort lacks dicipline. In Prussia, things are different. If I order my men to march off a cliff, they march off a cliff! Parmenter: Isn't that hard on them? Col. von Zeppel: It's harder on me. I have to keep training new men. Edit
      • O'Rourke: I'm glad they settled their differences like men -- in a poker game. Agarn: Yeah, but I still say the Colonel cheated. I don't see how three kaisers can beat a royal flush. Edit
      • Col. von Zeppel: (at duel) Vat is your choice of veapons? Capt. Parmenter: How are you at arm wrestling? Edit

    • Allusions

      ADD ALLUSIONS
      • The colonel's name, von Zeppel, is a reference to German airships, Zeppelins, made by the Zeppelin Company and pioneered by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. The most famous of the Zeppelins was the ill-fated Hindenburg, which burned up while landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey in 1937. Edit
