“No, I won't tell you. Once in a while, I have to be on our side.” – Schultz, Hogan's Heroes
The '60s WWII comedy, Hogan's Heroes, took on one of the greatest horrors of modern times with levity. The show's characters were largely screwballs, including the Nazi officers who ran the POW camp. Schultz, for instance, buried his head in the sand, despite being clued into what Hogan and his crew were up to. Although the subject was heavy, the characters were endearing and basically made Hogan's Heroes the success that it was.

AAn armed guard
-
BThe prison camp's commander
-
CA crewman

ARussia
-
BItaly

-
AStaff Sergeant
-
BPresident
