I'm trying to explain what I heard about *why* the cast did Hogan's Heroes.
I understand that and I don't want to leave the impression that I was bashing you. I saw an interview with Werner Klemperer discussing his experiences growing up. It was obvious he was mocking the nazis. (I think on that show he sang a duet, in German, with Jon Banner too)
The intent of my comment, about the former POWs, was that the scars ran too deep to find humor anywhere in that environment.
