Will the Blue Baron Strike Again? - S4-E12
Factual error: The "Blue Baron" tells the dancer that the Kaiser gave him a certain medal. In fact, the medal he points to (and the girl fondles) is a WW2 repeat badge to the Iron Cross first class, instituted in 1939 to denote presentations of the Iron Cross first class to personnel who had already received it in WW1. He may have received the original Iron Cross from the Kaiser, but by the time he had a chance to receive that repeat badge, the Kaiser was long through handing out medals. (00:15:10)

Will the Blue Baron Strike Again? - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: At the airfield, Carter and Newkirk go to move, Carter steps left, and falls into the water. Newkirk takes a step, and leaps into the water, losing his hat, and trying to make it look like Carter pulled him, but you can see him looking to the way he falls. When the camera angle changes, Carter is splashing about, and Newkirk walks up to him from the left without having gotten out from where he fell. And his hat is on, despite losing it from jumping in.

Will the Blue Baron Strike Again? - S4-E12
Revealing mistake: When Hogan, Newkirk, and Carter are at the Blue Baron's secret airfield, Hogan opens the barrel and stuffs in a rag and lights it so it will be a flare for the Allied bombers. The flight line and the planes on it are an obvious cutout. The fire couldn't have spread to the surrounding ground like it was shown. Also, when the bombs were going off on the airfield, you can see that the explosions are very small charges behind the cut outs.
Will the Real Colonel Klink Please Stand Up Against the Wall? - S4-E13
Continuity mistake: In Klink's quarters, Schultz stops Hogan from disturbing Klink. When he does, Schultz's arm is across his chest. When the angle changes, his arm is at his side.

Will the Real Colonel Klink Please Stand Up Against the Wall? - S4-E13
Visible crew/equipment: When Hogan opens the window, there is a reflection of the studio lighting on the top pane.
Factual error: When the safe doors blow, we have another case of a fuse still burning after the charge blows. Since the charge blows when the fuse is burnt up, that's literally impossible. (00:20:00)
Visible crew/equipment: As the car with the kidnapped Klink takes off, the Stalag 13 buildings are reflected in the windows, along with the camera equipment and lighting. (00:01:20)
Visible crew/equipment: As Hogan and Carter approach the staff car, the crew and film equipment are reflected on the chrome of the lights and radiator.
Other mistake: Carter said the plans and note were in the box that was supposed to contain a model of the Hindenburg. However, the box he's building out of has "STUKA" on the side.
Continuity mistake: At the end, Hogan has the note from Nimrod in his right hand. When the shot changes, it's in his left hand.
Who Stole My Copy of Mein Kampf? - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: At the end, Colonel Sitzer pushes Hogan away, calls for music, and puts his left hand over the microphone, with his right hand hanging by his side. A second later, his right hand is mid way up the stand.
Who Stole My Copy of Mein Kampf? - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: When the staff car with Leslie Smyth-Beddoes pulls in, Hogan opens the window to see who it is. As you look past Hogan, instead of a daytime backdrop, there is a black backdrop, and the wooden shutters are lit up as if it were daytime.
Factual error: The cover of the plan for Unternehmen Hannibal is marked "SEHR GEHEIM." That phrasing does not exist in German. The correct term would be "streng geheim".
Continuity mistake: As Newkirk says he volunteers, he straightens to attention, hands by his sides. A second later, his hands are in front" holding a bit of laundry.
Answer: Nimrod's actual identity was never revealed in the series. It was only known that he was a British intelligence agent. Nimrod was not Colonel Klink. Hogan had only implied it was him as a ruse to get Klink returned as camp commandant, not wanting him replaced by someone more competent who would impede the Heroes war activities. The term "nimrod" is also slang for a nerdy, doofus type of person, though it's unclear why that was his code name.

"Nimrod" is originally a king and hero mentioned in the Tanach and taken into the Bible and the Koran. His name is often used in the sense of "stalker," "hunter," and sometimes figuratively as "womanizer" as in "hunter of women." I've never seen it used to denote a nerdy person, and although I cannot disprove that connotation, I think given his role, the traditional meaning is more likely the intended one.
