Title: Hogans Heroes (not BB related)
Post by: Irongrip400 on April 28, 2022, 08:01:36 PM
So, I’m aware this was a show but never watched it. I’m now in my hotel and it’s on, and I watched an episode, and I can’t believe this was on, and less than 20 years after World War Two. Crazy that someone thought to make a comedy out of this. Was the holocaust not a thing yet that had been “uncovered”?

Wrong, Hogan's Heroes is bodybuilding realted as I watched it twice a day every day when training for my first show (which is did not win).  For some reason it worked out with my training schedule.

No. People were just more sensible then
 People understood what a joke was and , in fact, understood that a way of coping with shit was humor.

Political Corectness (the grandfather of woke ideology) ended humor. And now everybody takes everything too seriously.  So no more jokes.

Somehow western society has determined that one of the most important things is the "feelings" of societies most sensitive people. And 'offending ' someone is the gravest of sins.

Most of the main production staff and the lead actors were Jewish. The Nuremberg trials happened. Franz Stangl, Adolf Eichmann, and a bunch of other Nazis were caught, or being chased around the globe. It was a different time, people worried about actual things, not SJW goofiness.

Werner Klemper was Jewish

They were making fun of the Nazi's
That was back when American's agreed that Americans were better than Nazi's

The film "Stalag 17" was the inspiration/model for "Hogan's Heroe's".  Bob Crane ("Hogan") was apparently a total pervert and died a horrible death, being bludgeoned to death in an apartment in Arizona.

Better to die relatively young by a violent death as a total pervert than live to a ripe old age surrounded by family and friends after having accumulated life's rewarding experiences.

If you watch the first season, Werner played the Klink Character with a lot more "Miltary Bearing" than later seasons.

Werner's Dad...



In the 1930's Otto Klemperer saw what was coming in the 1940's and wanted to get the "Fuck Out Of Dodge"...He accepted a job with the Los Angeles Philharmonic just to get out of Europe...This is how Werner got to Hollywood.
