I really liked Hogans Hero's, as a kid.
Still remember watching an episode with my Dad, who fought them in WWII.
I remember commenting on how dumb the German's were, and he stopped me
and told me that they were really good soldiers, fierce fighters.
Remember him telling me how HH is just a comedy, that in the real POW camps,
the Americans and Brits had a very hard time of it.
I don't remember how old I was at the time, but somewhere in the 7-9 year
old phase. The HH shows were probably reruns. But I do know I started
understanding that TV portrayals were pretty fake, maybe with just a seed of
truth.
I also luv'd the reruns of Rat Patrol. But watching jeep mounted machine
guns take out tanks in head to head fights was too much for even a young
kid. I understood that was highly, highly unlikely, without any input
from my Dad.
Too bad that all of the American adults who watched The Apprentice were
not able to discern fact from total BS, lol.
