My grandfather was a POW in Germany, and he HATED Hogan’s Heroes.

I knew a German POW who was held in the US, and stayed after the war. He also hated Hogans Heroes. He was a proud German and couldn't stand the portrayals of the oafish Klink and Schultz.

I guess the show had something for everyone....

I had an uncle that was an enforced guest of the Reich for a little less than a year.

He said that the sets on Hogan's Heroes were spot on. Rest of the stuff? Not so much. But the buildings, camp layout, and so forth, were correct.

Someone consulted on that show, that knew what they were talking about. :-)
