“Sometimes, this war is so exciting, I can hardly stand it.” – Colonel Hogan, Hogan's Heroes

"If you like WWII, then you'll love Hogan's Heroes!" That's what a tagline for this comedy series read when it came out in the '60s. Only two decades after the end of WWII, the show took off, bringing comedy to the most unlikely of subjects. Though the theme was controversial, much of the cast had either served in WWII or were victims of it.
