Oh please. In the TV show, Hogan and his men had a fully equipped war room under their barracks, complete with state of the art (for the time) radios and other electronics. They had nicely finished escape tunnels that could take them to any point in Germany, that would have taken hundreds of man-years to construct. And that's just scratching the surface.

I don't take anything away from ther men who spent time in the German POW camps, but Hogan's Heroes was so far removed from reality that you would have to be pretty stupid to believe this was how life really was for them, and to say that the show does POWs a disservice is just insulting. It's like saying that science is harmed when the Professor on Gilligan's Island builds a nuclear reactor out of the guts of the transistor radio and couple of coconut shells.

"...when the Professor on Gilligan's Island builds a nuclear reactor out of the guts of the transistor radio and couple of coconut shells..."

Oh, Christ. Please don't tell me he really didn't do that.

I have spent the last 30 years of my life trying to replicate that feat, and now you tell me it is no more real science than cold fusion...

Feh. Chuck Norris could make one out of just dirt.
