Hogan's heroes. Season 1. Discs 1-3 [DVD video].

The bumbling Germans give Hogan and his crew plenty of opportunities to continue their war resistance movements right from their POW war cells. The prison's colonel, Klink, is more concerned with having everything run smoothly and avoiding any trouble with his superiors (especially anything that might result in his being reassigned and sent to the Eastern front) than with being tough on Hogan and his fellow prisoners. Hogan and his men cause as much mayhem and sabotage to the German war machine and right under their captors' noses as possible.
