Yup, I watch it weekly. . . Such intricate plans long before McGyver!

Their favourite German expressions are Jahvohl, Raus, & Schnell. (one of those
last two means "hurry")

Some funny moments from the series, as per someone else's memory for detail:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/HogansHeroes

My grandpa would always tell me this story about his uncles in WWII. "My uncle
was actually captured by the Germans and kept in a pow camp. They would try to
break the prisoners spirit by making them to mindless things. One in particular
they would make the prisoners stand in a line and all move their heads like a
clock back and forth and say, 'tick tock tick tock.' My uncle was always a wise
guy so he would rebel in the simplest way. He would only go, 'tick tick tick.'
One day the guard finally caught him and said, 'don't vorry. Ve have vays of
making you tock.'"

Tyhe commandant comes out & says to ty he prisoners, "I haf good news und bad
news!"

Give us the good news first, we need a bright spot.

"Today you vill be water-skiing."

Yayy! What's the bad news?

"I vill be waterskiing; you vill be pulling mein boat."

I'm 5'11½, but tell everyone I'm 6'0"

On my first day of being in a German stalag, we were all lined up and the
sergeant commanded that those 6 feet and over step forward. Even though I was
shy of ½inch, I stepped forward, along with 15 others.

.. After I looked around me, I realized I was noticeably the tallest.

I ordered the German prisoner to tell me the answer to 3*3; he said, "Nein!";
I'm confused.

Spouses are like world wars.
You never refer to them as the "first" until there's a second.
