Series Description

The Hogan's Heroes TV show was a 30 minute war spoof/comedy series on CBS. Being imprisoned in a German World War II prisoner of war camp didn't stop the men from continuing to contribute to the fight! Hogan's Heroes had an entire industrial complex hidden within the camp fences where they produced the documents, outfits, & accessories necessary for the escape of allied prisoners and downed pilots! They also used an extensive tunnel system to leave camp at their leisure and conduct military operations! The camp commander and guards were so worried about being blamed for Hogan's Heroes' efforts that they either overlooked or even aided them in their efforts.

Hogan's Heroes Theme Song

Title: "March"

By: "Jerry Fielding"

(Song Never Aired)

Heroes, heroes, husky men of war,
Sons of all the hreoes, of the war before.
We're all heroes up to our ear o's
You ask questions
We make suggestions
That's what we're heroes for.

All good heroes love a good, big fight
Open up the bomb bays and brighten up the night.
We applaud the people who laud us,
You pull the roses,
We punch the noses,
That's what we're heroes for.

What's a hero do?
Well, we're not gonna tell ya
Cause we wish we knew.
That's why we heroes are so few.
We've got a slogan
From Colonel Hogan
And Colonel Hogan's a hero too.

Never flinch, boys, never be afraid,
Heroes are not born, boys, heroes are made.
Ask not why, boys, never say die, boys,
Answer the call, remember we'll all be heroes forever more.
