Hogan's Heroes

Hogan's Heroes was an American television situation comedy that ran from September 17, 1965 to July 4, 1971 on the CBS network for 168 episodes. Starring Bob Crane as Colonel Robert Hogan, the show was set in a German prisoner of war (POW) camp for Western Allied prisoners during World War II.

The show took place at Stalag 13, a POW camp located near the town of Hammelburg, and run by the Luftwaffe for captured aviation personnel. Although there was a real-life Stalag 13 near Hammelburg (formally known as Stalag XIII-C Hammelburg/Mainfranken), Hogan's Heroes was entirely a work of fiction.

The show's premise was that the POWs were actually active war participants, stationed in the camp and using it as a base of operations for allied espionage and sabotage against the Nazi war effort and could leave and return at will. The prisoners operated a secret network of tunnels that led outside the camp and had constant radio contact with Allied command. They were aided by the fact that the camp was overseen by the bumbling Colonel Klink and his aide, Sergeant Schultz.

Hogan would routinely manipulate the simple-minded Klink and Sgt. Schultz into creating ideal situations for the secret operations conducted by the men at Stalag 13.

Many have also seen the interaction between the prisoners as being at least somewhat inspired by the 1953 feature film Stalag 17, a World War II Prisoner of War film, released by Paramount Pictures, the same studio that currently owns the DVD rights to Hogan's Heroes. This movie even had a Sgt. Johann Sebastian Schultz, who appeared genial but was actually in league with the informant implanted among the prisoners. The producers of Stalag 17 later sued the producers of Hogan's Heroes for infringement.

As noted previously, there was a real-life Stalag 13 and an Offlag 13 (which held officers) located near a real German village of Hammelburg. The senior American prisoner there was a Lt. Colonel Waters, son-in-law of General George S. Patton. In April 1945, Patton sent a task force on a raid to rescue the prisoners of Stalag 13. The task force got in, but all its vehicles were destroyed in getting out, and few of the soldiers managed to make it back to American lines. The Stalag was liberated about a month later. Books written about this effort include Raid!: The Untold Story of Patton's Secret Mission and 48 Hours to Hammelburg.
