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).
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).
Most prominently featured in the pilot episode and used throughout the rest of the series by German soldiers and resistance members. Colonel Klink as two Luger P08 with pearl or ivory grips in "To Russia Without Love" (Season 6, Episode 18).
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).
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.
Used as a stand-in for the MP40 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.
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).
Occasionally seen in the hands of German soldiers during Season 6. This weapon, like the Krag-Jørgensen, was meant as a stand-in for the Karabiner 98k.
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").
