Movies Are Your Best Escape - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: When Schultz is talking to Hogan and Le Beau, the guard outside walks past. As he does, you can see three shadows from him revealing the studio lighting, rather than him really being outside.

Continuity mistake: When Schultz herds the men into the barracks, Hogan and Le Beau are about three feet apart. A second later, they are only about a foot apart.

Continuity mistake: Hogan takes the movie camera from Klink right side up. The next second, it's upside down. Then when Hogan goes to dunk the camera in the water, the lenses are pointing to his right. In the close up, they're facing his left.

Go Light on the Heavy Water - S1-E9

Go Light on the Heavy Water - S1-E9
Other mistake: After the smoke bomb goes off in Klink's office, there is a shot from the outside where the boys get a blanket to catch Klink. If you look at the window of the office behind them, you can see the smoke coming out in an up and down pattern, suggesting the smoke to be coming from a rig controlled by an out-of-sight crew member.

Visible crew/equipment: When the staff car entering the compound stops, you can see a reflection of the crew member stopping the car, the light rig, and the camera in the chrome.
Top Hat, White Tie and Bomb Sights - S1-E10
Audio problem: When Schultz comes into Hogan's office with the pie plate, he starts talking about Klink. As Hogan puts his hand over Schultz's mouth to stop him talking, Schultz is cut off mid-word. The sound he made is heard there, and again at Klink's office, almost like an echo, when everything else said is heard in real time. (00:08:40)
Top Hat, White Tie and Bomb Sights - S1-E10
Revealing mistake: When General Burkhalter has entered the camp and is stopped at the gate, the camera cuts to Hogan and the guys. Above the barracks, you can see the Desilu water tower. (00:15:30)
Top Hat, White Tie and Bomb Sights - S1-E10
Audio problem: As Schultz is complaining about Klink, Hogan puts his hand over Schultz's mouth, and you start to hear the canned laughter. When the camera looks at Klink, the sound Schultz made with the canned laughter behind it is repeated.
Top Hat, White Tie and Bomb Sights - S1-E10
Other mistake: When Klink is trying to demonstrate the automated gates to Burkhalter, Kinch makes the gates close, knocking Klink into Burkhalter. Before Klink tells Schultz to open the gates, they are already in motion.
Top Hat, White Tie and Bomb Sights - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: As Burkhalter talks to Klink, he raises his hand for emphasis on a point. When the camera cuts to a wide shot, you see his arm down by his side, much too quick without a movement to relax the arm.
Top Hat, White Tie and Bomb Sights - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Hogan is looking around as Klink is showing the gate to Burkhalter. Hogan's hat is up on his head in the usual position. After the camera cuts to Klink, then back to Hogan, the bill of his hat is down shading his eyes.
Happiness Is a Warm Sergeant - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When accessing the tunnel entrance, usually the spot is in the middle of the side board that is tapped. Newkirk slaps the corner and post of the top bunk.
Audio problem: Hogan knocks out his pipe against the Prussian helmet on Klink's desk. It makes a tinny, metallic sound. The Prussian Pickelhaube was made from compressed leather, not metal.
Continuity mistake: When Newkirk calls "Heil Hitler", everyone in the lobby salutes. A second later, in the closeup of Hogan and Newkirk, everyone's arms are suddenly back by their sides, much too quickly to be real.
Continuity mistake: When explaining the "experiment" Lebeau has going, the multi-chambered tube is on the left (from the camera's POV) and the long tube with the coil is on the right. As the men up to leave after Carter comes in, the tubes are reversed.
Continuity mistake: LeBeau and Newkirk are on a building roof and the Nazi flag is blowing in the wind with great force. In the next shot a guard tower is shown with a Nazi flag that's hanging straight down and not blowing at all. (00:01:00)
Continuity mistake: As Schultz is telling Hogan that he's a family man, the shot ends with Hogan starting to turn his head to the left. The next shot shows Hogan looking straight at Schultz, then turning his head. (00:15:25)
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.

It's widespread enough that Wikipedia has an entire section on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod#In_popular_culture
