General Erich Von Klinkerhoffen is a fictional character in the BBC sitcom "'Allo 'Allo!", which ran from 1982 to 1992. He was played by the actor Hilary Minster.
The general is a very direct character. He often threatens his men with a trip to the Russian front, he doesn't really care about Gruber or Von Strohm and refused to pay their ransom when they were captured by the communist resistance. The General is later involved in a plot to kill Hitler. That said, he has even less of a liking for the Gestapo, and forced Herr Flick at gunpoint to release Von Strohm and his aide when under Gestapo detention.
Not a lot is known about the general, although he does like women quite a lot, he tried to seduce Maria when he found her in his chateau. In some episodes, he has caught the other officers "having a good time" with one of the waitresses. However, at one point he invited Lt. Gruber to a party at the Chateau, commenting there was no need to change his clothes. (Gruber was dressed as a lady at the time.)
His behaviour is also notable when Herr Flick and Von Smallhausen present a new way to gain entry to Cafe Rene without arousing suspicion (Pretty Maids All in A Row). This suggestion was to dress up as two French maids. He refused the proposal, however suggested they may like to stay for a drink.
