Well if he saw it on Hogan’s Heroes that’s a pretty damn good cite. It must be true.
For example many, many times American POW’s were able to dress a new prisoner in drag so that a Gestapo officer would become smitten and let his guard down while drinking schnapps and chasing him around a desk while the rest of the gang smuggled blueprints for top-secret bombs out of the camp undetected.
Do you think they just make these shows up out of thin air?
