For my RetroFan Magazine article on Hogan's Heroes for the show's 60th anniversary in September 2025, I've been re-reading parts of Robert Clary's book 'From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes.' Get a copy. Read it. Share it. Do NOT allow anyone to erase history or allow the Holocaust to happen again.

I'm putting the finishing touches on my next article about Hogan's Heroes for RetroFan Magazine, which will be published in the September 2025 issue to celebrate the show's 60th anniversary. My article about Bob Crane's radio career was published in the March 2021 issue. Issue link: bit.ly/3PPnN51

September 17, 2025, will mark the 60th anniversary of the premier of Hogan's Heroes. We have some things planned throughout the year to celebrate. Stay tuned!

Oh man, too many to list! I can say season 1 overall is my favorite, because it's sooo entirely goofy, and the cast are at their cutest! I do like the drama, danger, and suspense increased in later seasons, plus how the actors settled into the characters. S1 just always hits the spot tho!
