Set in a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II, it became one of the most daring and beloved sitcoms in American television history. The show's most remarkable backstory: three of its main cast members — Werner Klemperer, John Banner, and Robert Clary — were Jewish actors who had personally fled Nazi persecution and, in Clary's case, survived 31 months in Nazi concentration camps. They chose to play Nazis and their prisoners on television as an act of defiance — and humor. Sixty-one years later, this Hogan's Heroes then and now 2026 video honors every member of Stalag 13's unforgettable crew. "I know nothing! Nothing!" — Sergeant Schultz may have known nothing, but the cast of Hogan's Heroes left behind a legacy that speaks volumes. Share your favorite episode or memory in the comments.
