Col. Robert Hogan leads his fellow allied POWs in the Nazi camp, Stalag 13, as they orchestrate anti-German operations right under the noses of the Gestapo. Easily manipulating the camp’s incompetent first sergeant, Shultz, and camp kommandant, Col. Klink, whose priority is to maintain the “spotless” record of never having a prisoner escape, Hogan and his “heroes” come and go from the camp as they please using an underground hideout that get s more elaborate as the series goes on. An endless supply of German uniforms, high tech gadgets and often an unwitting Col. Klink himself aid Hogan’s Heroes in their weekly mission.
