-		+	* This episode appears to take place in mid-[[Wikipedia:1944\|1944]], not long after the events depicted in [[Hogan's Tucking Service … We Deliver the Factory to You]]. The ramp-up of [[Wikipedia:Sabotage\|sabotage]] activities by the [[underground]] implies a post-[[Wikipedia:Operation Overlord\|Normandy]] date, given similar actions by the [[Wikipedia:French Resistance\|French underground]] in real life. The 1944 date is also confirmed by the mention of the secret [[Wikipedia:Rocket\|rocket]] [[Wikipedia:Fuel\|fuel]] [[Wikipedia:Storage tank\|tanks]] that were destroyed by the underground. [[Wikipedia:Nazi Germany\|Germany]] began using rockets against [[England]] in 1944.
-		+	* [[General Albert Burkhalter\|Burkhalter]] observes that one of [[Wilhelm Klink\|Klink]]'s former classmates (at University?), [[Wikipedia:General (Germany)\|General]] von Roeder, has died from a case of "a sudden transfer to the [[Wikipedia:Eastern Front (World War II)\|Russian Front]]. There's a lot of that going around."

Klink requested a temp six days ago from Burkhalter, who has yet to act on it. This is as close to an official confirmation as we can get, within the context of the series, to [[Helga]]'s departure. Given the timeframe, Helga should have been available to fill in for Hilda. Since she is not, then she stopped working at [[Stalag 13]] not long before the events in this episode take place.

The first episode in [[Wikipedia:Chronology\|chronological]] order in which our heroes carry out an act of sabotage appears to be [[Anchors Aweigh, Men of Stalag 13]], which appears to take place in early [[Wikipedia:1943\|1943]].

	*This appears to take place a few weeks after [[An Evening of Generals]]. During that episode, [[Wilhelm Klink\|Klink]] mentions that he is going to be busy "for the next few weeks."
