| abstract | - Captain Ferguson is a fictional character who appeared in the Hogan's Heroes episode, Cupid Comes to Stalag 13. He was played by George Tyne. Captain Ferguson is an American commando who has been dropped into enemy lines on a mission to pick up maps from the German underground depicting the location of important military installations. He hides out for a time with Hogan and his men in their secret tunnels under Stalag 13, from where he is eventually to be spirited off to England with the maps. Unfortunately, his stay is unexpectedly prolonged by a distressed Kommandant Klink roaming the camp grounds after hours, unable to sleep first because he fears he will be transferred to the Russian Front, then later over General Burkhalter's plans to match him up with his ghastly sister Gertrude Linkmeyer. Only thanks to Hogan helping him out of his predicament does Klink finally get a good night's sleep, enabling the Heroes to sneak their "guest" out of the camp undetected, although Ferguson has been clearly enjoying his time there, eating, relaxing, and reading pin-up magazines!
