Hogan's Heroes is a comedy television series produced by Bing Crosby Productions about a band of multinational POW´s imprisoned in the German Prisoner Of War camp Stalag 13 during World War II. After creating a vast underground tunnel network directly beneath the prison complex, the group around Colonel Robert E. Hogan (Bob Crane) begins to disrupt the German war machinery through cunning sabotage operations. The series ran from 1965 to 1971 across 6 Seasons with a total number of 168 episodes.
The following weapons were used in the television series Hogan's Heroes:
Major Bonacelli (Hans Conried) uses a Beretta M1934 in "The Pizza Parlor", (Season 1, Episode 22). The handgun made a reappearance in "How to Catch a Papa Bear" (Season 4, Episode 3) in the hands of Sgt. Kinchloe (Ivan Dixon).
The Colt Model 1903 is used by the resistance and Hogan´s men.
Colt M1911
Never seen in the hands of resistance members, the Colt M1911 appears to be an exclusive weapon of the Stalag 13 prisoners. It is carried most frequently by Corporal Newkirk (Richard Dawson).
Luger P08
Most prominently featured in the pilot episode and used throughout the rest of the series by German soldiers and resistance members. Colonel Klink has two Luger P08 with pearl or ivory grips in "To Russia Without Love" (Season 6, Episode 18).
Walther P38
Standard sidearm of the German soldiers.
Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action
Used by the "Milk Maid" in "Diamonds in the Rough" (Season 2, Episode 3). It can also be seen in "The Rise and Fall of Sergeant Schultz"
(Season 2, Episode 6) in the hands of Cpl. Louis LeBeau (Robert Clary). A German doctor is also using one to examine Newkirks reflexes in "The Swing Shift" (Season 2, Episode 21).
Submachine Guns
MP40
Wielded by part of the German forces. These appear to be a mix of replica MP40 and plastic props. The latter can be recognized by the filled-in front sights, the space between the magazine well and the folding stock.
Thompson Submachine Gun
Used as a stand-in for the MP40 by German forces and by members of the resistance. Most of the Thompson Submachine Guns appear to be replicas which have metal shoulder stocks, pistol grips and foregrips. They also seem to lack an ejection port. Some also have filled in rear sights.
Rifles
Krag-Jørgensen rifle
The Krag-Jørgensen rifles were used as a stand-in for the German Karabiner 98 which was used by the German military before, during and after WWII.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine can be seen used by Maurice Dubois (Felice Orlandi) in "A Russian is Coming" (Season 3, Episode 12) and Nadya (Naomi Stevens) in “The Crittendon Plan” (Season 3, Episode 1).
M1 Garand
Seen in the hands of LeBeau (Robert Clary) in "Monkey Business"(Season 3, Episode 29).
M1903 Springfield
Occasionally seen in the hands of German soldiers. This weapon, like the Krag-Jørgensen, was meant as a stand-in for the Karabiner 98k.
Mannlicher-Schoenauer Carbine
A sniper working for Major Teppel in "Bad Day in Berlin" (Season 4, Episode 11) uses what appears to be a Mannlicher-Schoenauer Carbine.
Machine Guns
Browning M2
Appears in stock footage as armament on B-17 bombers and landing craft. A Browning M2 with barrel shroud can be seen mounted on a M7 tank in "One Army at a Time" (Season 5, Episode 20). The tank served as a stand-in for the German Tiger tank, complete with fake markings and fitting flat grey paint job. This is it's second appearance, having already appeared in the second episode of Season 1 "Hold That Tiger" (Season 1, Episode 2).
Browning M1919
Browning M1919 are used in Stalag 13 towers.
MG34
Featured in repeatedly re-used stock footage by German soldiers.
MG42
The MG42 can be seen in "Everyone Has a Brother-in-Law" (Season 2, Episode 23) and "War Takes a Holiday" (Season 3, Episode 21).
Explosives
(fake) Model 24 Stielhandgranate
In "Praise the Fuhrer and Pass the Ammunition" (Season 2, Episode 19), SS officers training close to Stalag 13 are using fake Stielhandgranaten. They make a reappearance in "The Empty Parachute" (Season 5, Episode 11). A different build of fakes are used in "The Big Broadcast" (Season 6, Episode 12). The prop people apparently did not do much research on how the actual Model 24 works, so the cord with which the grenade is primed is not kept within the handle, but is attached to the head of the grenade (the "Pot").
Mk 2 fragmentation grenade
In "At Last- Schultz Knows Something" (Season 5, Episode 14) Carter (Larry Hovis) can be seen producing a Mk 2 hand grenade from inside his jacket.
