List of Hogan's Heroes episodes
Hogan's Heroes is an American television sitcom co-created by Bernard Fein and Albert S. Ruddy. The show is set during World War II, and concerns a group of Allied prisoners of war who use a German POW camp as a base of operations for sabotage and espionage purposes directed against Nazi Germany. It ran for six seasons, with 168 half-hour episodes being produced in total. The show premiered on CBS on September 17, 1965, and ran until April 4, 1971. The pilot episode was filmed in black-and-white, but the entire ensuing series was filmed in color.
Background
From the beginning the show's producers decided that Stalag 13 would always have a snowy winter. Beyond recreating an extreme or adverse setting, this was to prevent problems with continuity and to allow the episodes to be shown in any order.
Like most sitcoms of its time, Hogan's Heroes was not serialized, so the episodes generally have no relation to each other, except for two composed of two parts: "A Tiger Hunt in Paris" (1966) and "Lady Chitterly's Lover" (1970).

Episodes
Pilot episode
The pilot episode, "The Informer", filmed in early 1965, aired on September 17 that year. The episode's plot centered on two new prisoners entering Stalag 13 (in this episode, referred to as Camp 13), Lieutenant Carter (played by Hovis), who escapes into the camp, and Wagner (played by Noam Pitlik), who is actually a German spy posing as an Allied prisoner. Wagner attempts to expose Hogan's operation to General Burkhalter (here known as Colonel Burkhalter), but Hogan and his men are able to discredit the spy. As punishment for his outlandish claims, the spy is sent to the Russian front.[1]
Although the series remained true to the pilot in most respects, there were some changes. Some of the prisoners' luxuries, such as an underground steam room, were eliminated to make the situation marginally more plausible. The character of Colonel Klink was made more of a fool than a villain, while his sharp accent was toned down. Klink's walk had less of the distinctive stoop. He also does not carry the riding crop he often affected during prisoner roll calls in other episodes.[1]
The major difference was that only the pilot was shot in black-and-white. After the series was sold to CBS, the network announced a major push in color programming for the 1965–66 season, and so the rest of the season (and the series) was filmed in color.
The character of Vladimir Minsk, a Soviet POW played by Leonid Kinskey, was intended to be a series regular. However, Kinskey declined to continue with the series. Stewart Moss, who played an American POW named Olson in the pilot, also declined an offer to become a series regular. Larry Hovis was intended to be a guest star in the pilot only. However, producer Ed Feldman was impressed by his performance and, after Kinskey and Moss declined to take part in the series, was offered a regular role. Hovis's character was changed from a lieutenant to a sergeant. According to Hovis, Feldman chose to do this because "sergeants are more sympathetic." Although Hovis's character had escaped at the end of the pilot, Feldman did not see this as a problem because he believed "no one will care".[1]

It is late at night and Hogan is having some alone time with Hilda in Klink's car. He witnesses the Gestapo pull into camp. Major Stern awakens Klink and tells him that he is there to arrest two recent staff additions, Captain Metzler (Noam Pitlik) and Sgt Holtz. Hogan and his men are eavesdropping on the conversation. Klink tells Stern that Holtz is on guard duty and the Metzler is on leave and will be back in three days. Hogan looks through the sink periscope and witnesses the Gestapo gunning down Holtz in the compound. The next day, Lebeau and Carter procure the personnel files of the two men and Baker takes pictures of them. It turns out that both men are radio communications specialists and were both assigned to the same headquarters in Berlin. The men learn from the Underground that Metzler is at his girlfriends apartment in Hammelburg. Hogan goes to see Metzler and Maria (Barbara Babcock), but Metzler is reluctant to reveal any information. Newkirk and Underground agent Luisa (Sabrina Scharf) come by to say the Gestapo are going through town looking for Metzler. Metzler still does not completely trust Hogan and wants proof that Hogan has connections in London. In exchange, Hogan also wants a little information. Metzler tells him that he was part of a group installing the most important communications center in the world. He can describe it and tell how it can be sabotaged. A few days later, Hogan gets Metzler the proof he wants. Hogan finds a way to get the Gestapo out of Stalag 13 and he brings Metzler and Maria back to camp. At camp, Metzler gives Hogan the rest of the information he needs. The men prepare Metzler and Maria for their trip to London. Note: This episode dramatizes the series' only killing. | ||||||

Hogan is picnicking with Underground contact Rhona (Victoria Carroll), who is also a curator at a local art gallery. He tells her that the Germans will be transporting critical supplies using three different routes. Each of the convoys will have to be destroyed. Hogan will soon have maps showing which roads will be used and will get that information to her as soon as it is available. Rhona thinks the Gestapo may be watching her so she gives Hogan a homing pigeon to send her details of their next meeting. Back at camp, Carter brings in the maps but they have been cut up into small pieces. The men have almost finished reassembling the maps when a German plane drops a bomb near camp. This causes parts of their tunnel system to cave in. Hogan sends Rhona a message via the pigeon saying that the three leaders of the attack groups should meet him at the art gallery this Sunday. Hogan comes up with a plan to make Klink believe he has artistic talent. The men supply Klink with some canvases and paints. Hogan convinces Klink to take three of his paintings to the art gallery.

Just as they are apprehending the person, Sgt. Schultz arrives. The men overhear that the man is British and a traitor. Later, Klink is talking with the man who turns out to be Sir Charles Chitterly. Charles wants Klink to notify Hitler of his arrival. The men are eavesdropping on the conversation. Klink calls General von Schlomm (Harold Gould), who will arrive soon to escort Charles to Berlin. LeBeau mentions that except for the glasses and a goatee, Charles looks a lot like Colonel Crittendon (Bernard Fox). Hogan arranges to have Crittendon brought from Stalag 12. Carter dresses in a German uniform and pretends to be von Schlomm. Carter, with Hogan's help, kidnaps Chitterly. Schultz tells a confused Klink that von Schlomm is just arriving in camp. The real von Schlomm tells Klink that he'll be taking Charles to Berlin as soon as Charles' wife arrives.

Hogan tells Leslie that von Schlomm will be taking them away soon. Hogan and Leslie are not sure they can trust each other. In Klink's office, Hogan and Crittendon try to stall von Schlomm. Leslie suddenly calls Hogan "darling" and gives him a long kiss. She says she has fond memories of that "mad, marvelous, romantic" summer shared by the three of them. Leslie tells a stunned von Schlomm to inform Hilter that it will be 3 or 4 days before they will leave. Hogan is not sure her plan will work as Hitler and the Gestapo will want to know what is going on. Newkirk tells Hogan that Sir Charles got away. Charles tries to tell Klink that he was being held by the prisoners in some tunnels. Klink tells Maj. Hochstetter the story that Charles gave him. Meanwhile, Charles is recaptured. Hochstetter questions Crittendon who denies that he claimed to be kidnapped. Leslie and Hogan show up and Hochstetter is very upset. Hitler calls and Leslie talks to him and says they will not be coming to Berlin as von Schlomm has the terms for England's surrender.

Meanwhile, General Burkhalter tells Klink that Hitler has ordered that all Stalags begin command training to senior non-commissioned officers. This means Schultz will take command and Klink will be his advisor. Schultz then doubles the guard outside of camp. Hogan will not be able to use the tunnels and Hercules is stuck in camp. Hogan thinks they can use Oscar Schnitzer and his dog truck to move Hercules. That plan is ruined when Schultz stops the truck before Hercules can get in it. Hogan now plans to discredit Schultz. He makes Klink believe that he might be sent to the front and Schultz be made permanent commandant. Klink agrees to help Hogan. Klink will pull the guards from outside of camp.

Hogan and his men blow up a large convoy of supply trucks. The next day Maj. Hochstetter is in Klink's office. He mentions that recent sabotage operations all occurred suspiciously close to Stalag 13. Hogan and his men are eavesdropping on the conversation. The men had planned on destroying an ammunition train that was passing by next week, but Hogan thinks they need to lie low. Klink introduces a new POW named Captain James Martin (Monte Markham) to Hogan and the men. Martin knows the correct code word to repeat to fellow prisoners if captured and seems to be a legitimate American flier. The men continue to test Martin and Baker says that London has checked him out. Hogan shows Martin their tunnels and tells him about their operation. Underground agent Karl (Dick Wilson) discusses the ammunition train with the men and Hogan decides they will sabotage it. During roll call Martin shoves Schultz and is brought to Klink's office. Hogan grows suspicious. Because of prisoners in the outer office, Martin writes Klink a note. Klink tells Hochstetter that the note says Martin is really Captain Seifert of the Gestapo on a special assignment. Because of some clues, Hogan believes that Martin is either a German spy or an Allied traitor. Despite his insistence that he is really Martin, the men tie him up and they intend to send him to London. They then set the explosives for the train. Schultz tells Klink and Hochstetter that Martin is missing. Hochstetter gets a call that the train was blown up.

Hogan and the men are eavesdropping on the conversation. Schultz is to drive some of the stored dynamite to a secret location to be used. Hogan plans to intercept the truck, take the dynamite and store it out of camp for future use. Somehow, Schultz is not on the road where Hogan thought he should be and there is no intercept. There is another truckload leaving that night and Hogan would like to find out where it is going. Again the men lose track of where the truck went. Hogan asks Underground agent Berger to have some of his men search the area. Later, Hogan gets a message that Berger has located some of the dynamite. The explosives are hidden in bunkers in the ground. Hogan figures that the Gestapo plans to use it to destroy bridges and other resources as the Nazis prepare to retreat from advancing Allied Forces. Hogan believes that Hochstetter has a list of the places that will be blown up. Carter pretends to be the Fire Chief of Hammelburg and Underground agent Elsa (Lyn Peters) is his secretary. The two go to see Hochstetter and the Major is quite taken with Elsa's beauty. While Elsa keeps Hochstetter occupied, Carter plants several smoke bombs in the office. The distraction allows Hogan to get the paperwork that he needs.

Klink tells them that snowplows have arrived and they will not have to shovel. Hogan finds a way for them to still stay in town. Strommberger comes by and chains the men together. He mentions that there is an avalanche hanging over the pass by the Panzers. After he leaves, the men play some of the instruments in the bar hoping to trigger the avalanche, but it does not work. Knowing what the men tried to do, Strommberger wants them sent back to camp. Something Klink does triggers the avalanche and blocks the pass. | ||||||

They know the general location where two of them are, but Hogan needs to find the third and report to London. General Burkhalter is speaking with Klink and the men are eavesdropping. He says that one rocket launcher will be placed in camp. It will be fired at England the next day to coincide with an all out Blitz.
