I used to watch Hogan’s Heroes every day after school. My dad would come in and watch a few minutes with me as he would find something to putz around with in the TV room (he worked from home).
At the next commercial he would leave and EVERY time would chuckle and say “Oh those crazy guys.”
That’s all he would say - he was a WW II vet. Looking back I appreciate that. I would have probably explained to my kids how bad the NAZIs were, told them about the concentration camps, etc.
Stalag 13 was not a concentration camp, it was a POW enclosure. The two things are not the same in any real way.
General Burkhalter (Leon Askin) lived right across the street from my elementary school in the ‘70s, and I used to see him walk his little dog almost every morning on the way to school. Sometimes my friends and I would hum the HH theme song when we saw him and he’d smile and wave.

Why?
Why fill kids head with that? Just let them watch the show.
I watched hogans heroes as a child, and as an adult I understand war. I’m just happy I was allowed to be a kid and watch funny show.
That’s because virtue signaling and Nazi cards weren’t in use back then ironically by folks who’d actually lived it
Unlike today where folks run anything through such silly prisms
Without looking it’s a good bet that show was produced by Jews
Most sitcoms are
Colonel Kline and Schultz were both Jews too btw.....
If they weren’t hand wringing over Nazis why should you
Hattip The Producers....another era again....Jews...a very funny one having a light go at nazis
Considering the enemy our nation and culture is facing from within we damn sure better quit worrying about 70 year old bigot bait
It’s got our hands tied behind our backs
