Once again, I found this to be an entertaining episode with some inconsistencies. In passing, I'll mention the blooming flowers in winter, a recurring gaffe throughout this series. More to the point of illogic is the parachute spy. Nobody, including Klink, knew that Hochstetter and Schlager were coming to the Stalag. Thus, the spy would have arrived at a point well before Schlager and had nothing to do with him. The other option would be that the spy parachuted from an aircraft overflying the camp in broad daylight at a time when extra security was patrolling the compound. That option is completely unreasonable.
Then when the Heroes finally open the briefcase and discover the counterfeiting plates, it was suggested to destroy them. Hogan rejects that solution saying that the engraver would just manufacture another set. Then Hogan sets about the time-consuming task of altering the plates to include the effigy of Hitler and a swastika. This, of course, would only end the same way as destroying the plates. Why waste the time and effort?
My final beef is the grenade thing. There is no possible way that a prison guard would ever carry grenades in the compound. There is no logical use for them unless a prisoner got a hold of one. It is unlikely that they would even be included in their weapons cache. That one SCENE is the only time that Schultz, or any other guard, has ever carried grenades in this entire series thus far.
