Nice photo of Herr Klink, some uniforms worn on the show were real German surplus and some were obvious Hollywood humped up fakes. there are a few threads here on the forum with one I remember as being a great thread pertaining to Hogans Hero's.
Thanks for sharing.

Still my favorite show. The jacket Col. Hogan wore was the same one worn by Frank Sinatra in Von Ryan's Express.

trivia
The camp from the show was also used in the notorious death camp exploitation film, "Illsa, She Wolf of the S.S.", including two dead and nude women hanging upside down outside of Klink's office.General Burkhalter's awards are: Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords, A World War I Iron Cross First Class along with a 1939 First Class Eagle Spange, and an Infantry Assault Badge in silver.Major Hochstetter's awards include: The German Cross in gold (should be silver), a Gold Nazi Party Badge, an Iron Cross First Class, and an SA Bronze Sports badge.Col. Klink is supposed to be a coward, yet he wore decorations on his uniform to the contrary. He wore the W.W.I Iron Cross 1st and second class for bravery, and the W.W.II Eagle Spanges which showed he had won the Iron Crosses again in the second world war. He also wears the 1936 pattern Pilot's Badge and the Luftwaffe ground combat badge (this is a major mistake, for this award wasn't presented until late 1942 and was given to Luftwaffe officers who participated in at least 3 ground combat actions). Sgt. Schultz's helmet is not correct. During W.W.II Germany produced 3 styles of helmet: models m-35 (a Luftwaffe eagle on the left side and a national color shield on the right), m-40 (only the Luftwaffe eagle decal), and the m-42 (rough finish, and (by Hitler's order) no decals-All decals must be removed from existing helmets). Sgt. Schultz's helmet is a m-42, yet in the show it has a smooth finish and two decals.Ivan Dixon directed many episodes of Magnum PI.Sgt. Schultz isn't a Sergeant, but a Master Sergeant (Hauptfeldwebel).General Burkhalter's car isn't a Mercedes, but a 3-axle Maybach Zeppelin, with a Mercedes-Star on the radiator.Major Hochstetter is supposed to be in the Gestapo, yet Gestapo men did not wear a uniform. (Gestapo men did not wear uniforms in the early episodes. This was added as Major Hochstetter became a regular on the show)The Waffen SS often is compared to the GeStaPo, which was the secret police in Germany, comparable to the StaSi in the GDR. But this is a bad goof. The GeStaPo was a political underground police, which usually arrested Jews for the KZ's and so called "bad political elements". The Waffen SS was an army, which was comparable to some kind of "army of the party (NSDAP)".The setting of Hogan's Heroes, is VERY bad! Hammelburg, where a LuftStaLag did exist, is in Bavaria. Duesseldorf is 250 km to the Northwest and Berlin is more than 360 km to the Northeast, but on a sign they said: Duesseldorf 20 km, Berlin 30 km!It's 380km to Hamburg where there's a nice harbor (but too dangerous to use), and 420km to the nearest open sea, yet the show had the Heroes using a Submarine as a ferry!In Germany, the Program is called "Ein Kaefig voller Helden", meaning "A Cage Full of Heroes".In Brazil, the Program is called "Guerra, Sombra e Agua Fresca".In France, the program is subtitled "Papa Schultz".The small trucks sometimes shown in the show (either as ambulance or as truck) are American models, these kind of trucks were never used in Germany, at least not by the German army.Colonel Klink's car is an Mercedes 540 SS. Built in the early 30s, Adolf Hitler had a similar one: a Mercedes 540 SSK - a kind of "sports" car.Although Schultz's first name is Hans, on some occasions of the German dubbed version the name Georg is used.Although the show is set in Germany, the vegetation is the brush hills and eucalyptus trees of Southern California.Comment

The only real and very rare item was the Mercedes G4. Not a Zepellin Maybach as described before.Comment

I had the opportunity to do a hands on examination of Col Klink's Luger before Stembridge Gun Rentals disposed of much of their firearms inventory several years ago. This pistol was actually a 1920 DWM export model in 30Luger. It was marked Germany on the frame. Unfortunately there was no opportunity to take pictures.

Oh Dear,
We in the UK were subjected to the "humour" of "Hogan's Heroes" when I was a child.
I am afraid that British humour and US humour sadly do not mix very well.
Even as a child I found this very infantile, and lacking in any form of irony at all.
Sorry guys, but to me this was particularly bad kids show.
As the bloke in the German steel helmet used to say, (as he appeared through the potted palm plant) on another American show.... "Very interesting...but stupid!"
I guess UK and US humour will never mix
Best wishes,
John.

John. Yeah, Benny Hill, Monty Python, and The Young Ones is much more sophisticated humor!
I'm kidding, of course. I watched and loved all three.
I don't think anybody is suggestion HH is good TV. In fact, I think it was voted one of America's top 10 worst shows. But as you say, for those of us who grew up watching it and didn't know any better I think it remains at least "sentimentally good."
HH was so bad, it was good!
