| 2. do you know of his father? |

Otto Klemperer is considered one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century. He was Jewish (ironic for Col. Klink) and fled Germany and then had a tragic life after that. Check out his wikipedia bio. I have several old records of him conducting.

| 3. I woulda been a Klemperer fan just for the camp value... |

...but his bio, and alleged stance on playing Klink, make him something of a hero.

| 4. I saw him in person once, at the symphony |
|
He was doing something called "Egbert" and he walked on stage, looking EXACTLY the same as when he was Colonel Klink, and shouted out, "EGBERT!!!!" I forget what it was even about!
