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.
