ABOUT THE SERIES

Hogan's Heroes is a team of agents working for Allied Military Intelligence.

The group operates inside Germany during the Second World War, using as their headquarters a most unusual locale, namely a Luftwaffe Stalag prisoner of war camp. Their covert operations of espionage and sabotage and prisoner rescue starts in 1942 sometime after the American entrance into the conflict and continues well past the D-Day landing. The exact location of the camp is open to argument since numerous clues left place it near the North Sea (one statement putting it 60 miles away and another less than 10) while others have it near the cities of Dusseldorf and Hammelburg, both of which are quite inland,

The troupe was founded by American bomber pilot Colonel Robert Hogan who, after getting shot down during a raid over Germany was sent to Stalag 13, run by the officious and incredibly inept Colonel Wilhelm Klink. Hogan quickly saw how easy it was going to be to escape and likely take many of his fellow prisoners with them when an outrageous idea occurred to him. Since the prisoner of war camp was so poorly run that it was virtually a leaking sieve just waiting, why not use the facility as a staging base for undercover activity. The concept of housing a trained espionage team inside a Luft Stalag was so ridiculous, it just might work.

The primary mission of the team was to rescue fellow downed pilots and facilitate their return to England, using an impressive system of tunnels beneath the camp to get the men into the camp and then, when ready, back out again, all the while making it seem as though no 'official' prisoner actually escaped. This gave the camp a perfect record, something no other camp could claim, and making sure that the General Staff did not shake up such a perfectly run organization.

Robert Hogan was not only a skilled pilot, he was a tactician genius who routinely showed a phenomenal ability to think on his feet which enabled him to ad lib plans when situations changed. He was a glib talker and a natural conman who could be insulant at times, insouciant at others, and obsequious if need be. He was also a connoisseur of beauty women and seemed able to find such delicacies everywhere, despite being housed inside a POW prison.

Hogan has a trained team assisting him:

Corporal Louis LeBeau, a French citizen who is not only a trained gourmet chef but is also an excellent dog trainer. That results in the team eating particularly well and having the ferocious German Shepherd guard dogs far friendlier to the team than to the soldiers guarding them.

Corporal Peter Newkirk, an Englishman with a decidedly blue collar background. Newkirk is the team's chief tailor and makes sure all needed clothing is made to order whether it be uniforms or civilian clothing. He is also a highly skilled pickpocket, card sharp, safe cracker, lock picker, etc. If something the least bit illegal is called for, so is Newkirk.

Staff Sergeant James Kinchloe, an African-American communications specialist who not only makes sure that the wireless work with which Hogan routinely communicates with headquarters and often with a submarine, he has also wired all the major buildings in the camp allowing eavesdropping on the Commandant's office and quarters.

Tech Sergeant Andrew Carter, an American chemistry expert who can be relied upon to concoct any liquid tool be it knockout drops, truth serum, and high explosives.

From time to time other men are used as needed but for the most part, the rest of the men being help prisoner in the camp are just waiting for their turn to be rotated out back to base making room for newcomers. Just how much these others know is never stated but the team seldom worry about betrayal.

One other key person to mention is Sergeant Schultz, a large, rotund, cheerful non-com who is the senior enlisted man on the German staff and therefore in charge of all the guards. Schultz does not know about the actual activity of the team but he is sharp enough to know strange things are always happening and it is usually best to, as he routinely puts it, "I see nothing! I hear nothing! I know nothing!" putting extra emphasis on the 'nothing' and meaning it.

In 1965, CBS launched a situation comedy with an incredibly unusual concept of having POW's inside a WWII German Stalag operating a spy ring under the noses of the Germans running the camp.

While several sources list as contributing basis for the show being the 1953 movie Stalag 17 and even more so the 1963 epic The Great Escape, neither of these was in any way a comedy and neither had the idea of a spy ring purposely sticking around.

The show was most decidedly not Politically Correct (it was the 60's, you know) and though there was the inevitable cry of foul about making fun of a regime that did in truth murder 6 million Jews (and numerous millions of other non-desirables), the show proved incredibly popular. The fact that the two key German characters, Klink and Schultz, were portrayed by men of Jewish descent probably helped.

Note: the data for the times, people, and plots are taken from the excellent Wikipedia entry for Hogan's Heroes.

Two years after #8 came out, a #9 was released but it was simply a reprint of #1, albeit with 3¢ increase.

MY COMMENTS

I was a newly-minted teenager when this show came on the air and I never missed an episode if life allowed. Years later when the show had one of is many, many periods of re-runs in syndication, I watched again with all the same enjoyment I had back then. And then when the shows became available to viewing on Netflix, once again I was there. No doubt, I 'tolerated' the show repeatedly and affectionately.

It was ludicrous, of course. Wonderfully so. The Germans were never so inept. The concept was outrageous. Still, it was tremendous fun and made glorious fun of a very not fun subject.

This series belongs in this compendium because in addition to being a waystation for the Underground repatriation of would-be Allied prisoners, the team routinely did espionage work of all sorts as well as considerable sabotages and harassments of the German forces.

And it did so hilariously and within 30 minutes each mission, including commercial breaks!
