Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In the White Room, Pad Leader Guenter Wendt proudly wears a 'Col. Guenter Klink' helmet while presenting Apollo 14 Commander Alan Shepard with a white cane labeled 'Lunar Explorer Support Equipment'. The fictional character, 'Col. Wilhelm Klink', was the incompetent Commandant of a German POW camp in a popular TV comedy of the time, 'Hogan's Heroes'. Col. Klink was played by Werner Klemperer. The cane is a reference to the fact that, at 47 years of age, Shepard was soon to be the oldest person - by far - to walk on the Moon. 31 January 1971.
