Hogan's Heroes aired on CBS with a total of 168 episodes over six seasons from 1965 to 1971. 

Interestingly, this program holds the record for the longest-running American TV series dedicated to the WWII genre.  Furthermore, Werner Klemperer, John Banner and Robert Clary are Jews - Clary having spent three years in a Nazi concentration camp during the war.

In this clip Klemperer and Banner sing Stille Nacht and Clary  performs a French Christmas carol.

Talented individuals and a fascinating backstory for such a goofy sitcom.  Who knew?
