My father, a WWII Ardennes infantry vet and POW, hated Batlle of the Bulge with a passion. Between that cheesy movie and Traitor Jane, Henry Fonda was never forgiven by my old man.
He also despised Hogan’s Heroes, but he thought the set was perfect.
Movie producers agreed the set was very good. They liked the Hogan's Heroes set so much they used it in another WW2 film.
“He also despised Hogans Heroes, but he thought the set was perfect”
Knew WWII survivors who despised “Hogans Heroes” too. The cast actually included a death camp survivor. The guy who played the Frenchman was a French Jew
