Separated at birth

 
[Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Werner Klemperer) and Rudy Giuliani.]

I saw the colonel (from Hogan’s Heroes) while flipping channels. And having seen the resemblance, I cannot unsee it. I hope you can’t too.

Spooky...and not just the resemblance.

Beautiful: fictional fascist, nonfictional fascist. Although, the older Rudy gets, the more he reminds me of Nosferatu.

Nosferatu! Now I can’t unsee that one.

Pete said...

You’re welcome.

The only thing is... Werner Klemperer was Jewish and played the part because it made Nazis look like fools. So it makes me sad to see him juxtaposed with Rudy G.

I know — his family fled Germany. I really think of it as Klink and Giuliani. Klemperer in real life looks (to my eye) very different. Giuliani looks like (ugh) Giuliani. A fictional fool and a real fool.
