Synopsis

Hogan's Heroes is an American television sitcom that ran for 168 episodes from September 17, 1965, to July 4, 1971, on the CBS network. The show was set in a German prisoner of war camp during World War II. Bob Crane starred as Colonel Robert E. Hogan, coordinating an international crew of Allied prisoners running a Special Operations group from the camp. Werner Klemperer played Colonel Wilhelm Klink, the commandant of the camp, and John Banner was the inept sergeant-of-the-guard, Hans Schultz. The series was popular during its six-season run. In 2013, creators Bernard Fein through his estate and Albert S. Ruddy acquired the sequel and other separate rights to Hogan's Heroes from Mark Cuban through arbitration and a movie based on the show has been planned.

This is a comedy about a POW camp in WW2 Germany. Hogan is played by ill fated Bob Crane, who wise cracks his way through the series, making fools of the Germans. To be honest, this series is very racist against German (pale, fair haired, European) males, while being accepting of German females. That was the standard racism and neo Nazi Hollywood ideology of the seventies. The show actually paid homage to Adolf and Eva by declaring women to be fair and blond, while sending German males to die in war. That was the American ideology of the late sixties up through the eighties, and it's not possible to watch movies or TV shows from that era without noticing it. This particular show was boring when I was younger, but actually had some wit to it that is noticed more by older people. It helps that every episode is totally ridiculous and can't be taken seriously.
