Subject: Obit: Leon Askin-Hogan's Heroes
No musical content mentioned but thought many mudcatters might remember actor Leon Askin
Askin was best known for his role as the Nazi Gen. Burkhalter who constantly threatened to send the POW camp's inept commander, Col. Wilhelm Klink to the Russian front because of his stupidity. Askin died in Vienna, Austria at age 97.
