As Dean and Stuart stepped off the plane in Germany, they couldn’t help but notice that everyone was staring at them. They had traveled to the country for an airline hockey tournament, but they were quickly getting the feeling that they were in for something far more exciting.
As they made their way to baggage claim to pick up their suitcases and hockey equipment, a German man approached them. “Excuse me,” he said, “Can I have your autograph?”
Dean and Stuart were surprised and confused. “Why do you want our autographs?” they asked.
The German man explained, “We watch your show on TV every week. It’s called Ein Käfig voller Helden.”
Dean and Stuart had never heard of this show before, but they soon found out that Ein Käfig voller Helden was German for Hogan’s Heroes. The German man had mistaken Dean for Sgt. Schultz and Stuart for Col. Klink.
Not wanting to disappoint their new fans, Dean and Stuart went along with the charade and started signing autographs and taking pictures with their newfound admirers. Everywhere they went, they were treated like celebrities. They were even given carte blanche at all the best restaurants in town.
The tournament was a great success and Dean and Stuart were voted MVP’s of the tournament. They had a great time in Germany and they never forgot the time they were mistaken as celebrities.
As they boarded their plane back home, they couldn’t help but feel a little sad to leave their new-found fame behind. But they knew that they would always have the memories of their crazy adventure in Germany, where they were mistaken for Hogan’s Heroes. The end
