Hogan's Heros

In the 60's the world was still recovering from the second world war. People still had the idea in their heads that all German people were Nazis that hated any unpure white person. To lighten to mood of the post war world many Tv stations made satiricale shows poking fun at the war while still making the point clear that war was awe full and unnecessary. One of the greatest examples of Satire in the meadia of the time was the show Hogans Hero's.

Hogans Heros was a TV show that was aired on Tv from 1965 to 1971. It followed the lives of P.O.W officers captured by the Nazis. The only difference with this camp compared to the others was that Stalag 13 was ran by a incompetent fool Col. Willhelm Klink. Under Klinks nose Hogan and his crew were running  a escape agency through the prison camp Stalag 13. What made this show so sitiracle was the mockery it made of the Nazi army. It showed the war in a way never seen before, not the factual truth of it being a bloody massacar of millions of people but a goofy life where prisoners and a prison camp basically ran the camp and ran the Nazi officers who were in charge. This show was important to the time because it lifted the sad vail of depression over everyones head and encouraged people to laugh again.
