This is the sixty-fourth item to be added to the museum and the fifty-ninth art piece. This is a piece that I'd commissioned 
drakefenwick to do for me when the original version of my yahoo group for Eva McEqqus had reached 300 members. For those of you with sharp eyes can see that behind Eva is a statue of Germania in her armor, as she holds her shield.

This is funny! I like this a lot!
I think that line coming from 'Valhalia' is from a pilot episode of a sitcom shown back in the late 70's (can't remember the name). I vaguely remember it, the comedy had something to do with a 'halfway house' between heaven and hell which had one of the Gabor sisters (I think it was Eva and not Zsa Zsa) as the propriator of this purgatory style realm. The line she kept using in the show "I am making apfelstredal!" which was some sort of punchline (I think). Trust me, it was a dreadfully aweful TV show that network producers wisely passed on.

No, the line came from a later episode of Hogan's Heroes. (I'd seen the pilot since I have the first two seasons, although I'd only gotten halfway through the first season, and that line was never used in the pilot.) The Eva Gabor was featured in Green Acres, which was also being shown on CBS, as a wife who moved to a country farm with her lawyer husband who wanted out of the city and moved them to Hootersville, and one of the running gags is that she was an awful cook. And, that show was set in the same universe as the Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and, believe it or not, Mister Ed, as the person who played Granny in BH made a guest appearance on that show as Granny. (I'd only found that out 2-3 years ago, when I saw the episode on This TV (which is still showing episodes). Green Acres was on TV for six seasons, and was in the top thirty for the first four seasons of its existence. The show went off the air, as did Hogan's Heroes, as part of what is now called the Rural Purge, where CBS, jokingly, removed every show with a tree in it, and went urban, to try and catch a younger, more urban demographic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Acres , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_purge , http://hh.wikia.com/wiki/Hogan%27s_Heroes .
Oh, almost forgot, the line was being said by Corporal Louis LeBeau, one of the prisoners, as he was getting Sergeant Hans Schultz's attention, via the aroma of Apfelstrudel, so that he could get some information out of him. I remember, as that was used in a commercial at a local UHF station when the series was in syndication in the 70s and 80s.
