Re: Hogan's Heroes

1) Robert Clary (LeBeau) was a concentration camp survivor with a number
tattoo.

2)IIRC, the original premise was that the crew was sent in together to
set up the operations. Carter (Larry Hovis), the explosives expert, was
a commissioned officer acting as a sergeant.

The one major thing that caught my eye was radio operator Kinch- the
U.S. forces were strictly segregated by race, and, AFAIK, there were no
African-American bomber crew in the European theatre (There was an AA
fight group- the Tuskeegee Airmen- in Italy, and they compiled an
outstanding record.).
