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.
