ME-TV has some of the better old ones. I watched a bit of Hogan's Heroes tonight.
I always thought Hogan’s Heroes was campy because Hollywood didn’t really know about the carnage and horror of World War II. Turns out, the Germans on Hogan’s Heroes were all Jewish (Gen. Burkhalter and Sgt. Schultz were both imprisoned in Concentration CAmps for a while, while Cpl. LeBeau survived Auschwitz), while Col. Klink was the son of a famous Socialist conductor who had a Jewish wife. All the “Germans” served in the U.S. Army during World War II. They made the Germans buffoons because that was their way of getting back at the Nazis.
