The inmates of a German World War II Prisoners of War camp conduct an espionage and sabotage campaign right under the noses of their warders.

Customer Reviews

A campy, okay, a Stalagy comedy series

Based loosely on the movie Stalag 17 (1953), Hogan's Heroes (1965 TV series) (1965-1971) The general overall scenario is that of a prisoner of war camp in 1942, Germany. Our cast of characters includes but is not limited to: Col. Robert E. Hogan, played by Bob Crane. Col. Wilhelm Klink, played by Werner Klemperer (Known for Judgment at Nuremberg) also the son of conductor Otto Klemperer. I have a few of Otto Klemperer’s recordings. Sgt. Hans Georg Schultz, played by John Banner, also played a German sergeant in This Land Is Mine (1943). Helga / Eva / Girl at Party with the Baron (24 episodes, 1965-1971) played by Cynthia Lynn, originally named Zinta Valda Smilies Hilda / Gretchen played by Sigrid Valdis. Sigrid and Crane were married on the set of the show. This program series starts with campy, over-the-top skits. Each episode has just enough time to set up a ridiculous task, executing it in a uniquely outlandish way, in the process, something always goes wrong, and is adjusted for the last minute.
