Hogan's Heroes Season 2 Episode 23, "Everyone Has a Brother-in-Law," finds Colonel Hogan and his team undertaking yet another mission to disrupt the plans of the Nazis. In this episode, the team must obtain a highly secret treaty that the Nazis are planning to sign with a neighboring country. The treaty would give the Nazis complete control over the neighboring country's resources and military forces.
To get their hands on the treaty, Hogan and his team come up with a plan to plant a spy inside the Nazi command. They discover that Colonel Klink has a brother-in-law who is a major in the Nazi High Command, and they decide to use him as their spy. However, the team quickly learns that the major is a complete coward and would never be able to carry out the mission. But, they soon discover that Klink's other brother-in-law, Hans, is a much better candidate.
Hans is a tough-as-nails fighter who has no love for the Nazis and is willing to do whatever it takes to help the Allies. Hogan and his team convince Hans to impersonate his brother-in-law and infiltrate the Nazi High Command. Although Hans is hesitant at first, he eventually agrees to the plan and gets to work.
Once inside the High Command, Hans discovers that the treaty is set to be signed in just a few short days. He also learns that the Nazis have a spy on their own team, and their true identity is unknown. Hans must work quickly to obtain the treaty before the spy can thwart their plans.
Meanwhile, Hogan and his team must distract Klink from discovering their plan. They come up with various schemes to keep Klink and his staff busy, including setting up a mock boxing tournament and planting fake stories in the newspapers, causing chaos within the Nazi ranks.
As the deadline for the treaty signing approaches, Hans has made significant progress. He has discovered the identity of the Nazi spy and has obtained the treaty. However, just as he is about to make his escape, he is captured by the Nazis and taken into custody.
With time running out, Hogan and his team must come up with a new plan to free Hans and obtain the treaty. They work together to create a diversion, allowing Carter to sneak into the High Command and retrieve the treaty. The diversion works, and Carter manages to obtain the treaty and free Hans.
The team is overjoyed when they realize they have successfully obtained the treaty and prevented the Nazis from gaining control over their neighboring country. They make their escape without being detected and return to their camp, where they enjoy a celebratory feast.
Overall, "Everyone Has a Brother-in-Law" is a thrilling episode of Hogan's Heroes that showcases the bravery and ingenuity of Colonel Hogan and his team. Through their teamwork and cunning, they are able to outsmart the Nazis and save the day once again.
