Sgt. Schultz is a fictional character from the television series Hogan's Heroes, which aired from 1965 to 1971. Portrayed by actor John Banner, Schultz is a bumbling but good-natured German sergeant in a World War II prisoner-of-war camp. He is known for his catchphrase, "I see nothing!" which he often uses to avoid dealing with the antics of the prisoners. Despite his role as a guard, Schultz is depicted as somewhat sympathetic to the prisoners, particularly Colonel Hogan, the leader of the escape attempts. His character adds a comedic element to the show, highlighting the absurdity of the situation while providing moments of levity amidst the wartime setting.
