Hogan's Heroes is a television sitcom that ran on the CBS television network from [[Wikipedia:1965|1965]] to [[Wikipedia:1971|1971]]. Starring [[Bob Crane]] as [[Robert Hogan|Colonel Hogan]], the show was set at [[Stalag 13]], a German [[Wikipedia:Prisoner-of-war camp|prisoner-of-war camp]] for Western Allied prisoners during World War II. In the plot, Stalag 13 was a "[[Wikipedia:Stalag|Luft Stalag]]", located near the village of [[Wikipedia:Hammelburg|Hammelburg]], run by the German Air Force ([[Wikipedia: Luftwaffe|Luftwaffe]]) for Allied Air Force personnel. 

But underneath that camp, the POWs had plans of their own . . .  and Schultz still saw nothing!

'''Hold That Tiger''' is the second episode of the [[Hogan's Heroes|''Hogan's Heroes'' TV show]]'s [[Season One|first season]]. It was originally aired on September 24, 1965.

=== Plot Details ===

[[Wilhelm Klink|Colonel Klink]] boasts to [[Robert Hogan|Hogan]] and his men during an evening roll call that [[Wikipedia:Nazi Germany|Germany]] is developing some new and powerful weapons, including the new [[Wikipedia:Tiger I|Tiger tank]], which he claims would help to shorten the [[Wikipedia:World War II|war]], thus leading to a German victory. After roll call is over, Hogan quickly asks Klink if the [[Wikipedia:Tank|tanks]] of the aforementioned [[Wikipedia:Panzer Division|''Panzer'' Division]] are west of the camp; Klink tells him no, before Hogan goes into his [[barracks]]. Klink's boast leads Hogan and his men to start coming up with an elaborate scheme so that they can get their hands on one of the new Tiger tanks, from which they would make [[Wikipedia:Blueprint|blueprints]] that they would then send over to [[London]]. Eventually, Hogan comes up with a plan.

The prisoners are soon working on an inside wall of [[Barracks 2]], when [[Hans Schultz|Schultz]] appears. After he asks what is going on, Hogan tells Schultz that they are going to put in a picture [[Wikipedia:Window|window]] that would give the [[Wikipedia:Prisoner of war|prisoners]] a sweeping view of the delousing station. A [[Wikipedia:Waffen-SS|Waffen-SS]] [[Wikipedia:Officer (armed forces)|officer]], actually [[Peter Newkirk|Newkirk]] in [[Wikipedia:Deception|disguise]], then appears, addressing Schultz. A panicking Schultz then calms down after seeing that it is Newkirk, but as he sees him leave with [[Louis LeBeau|LeBeau]] to have the uniform worked on a bit more, Schultz becomes curious and asks Hogan why Newkirk is wearing the uniform. After being told the reason why by Hogan, a now very panicky Schultz leaves. Later Hogan enters [[Klink's office]] to protest to Klink about his men being interrogated by a [[Gestapo]] officer. [[Karl Langenscheidt|Corporal Langenscheidt]] soon appears, after knocking on Klink's door several times, to inform Klink that a Gestapo officer wants to leave the [[Stalag 13|camp]], but he can't since there doesn't seem to be any record of him actually coming in. Klink tells the [[Wikipedia:Obergefreiter|Senior Lance Corporal]] to let the Gestapo officer go, having no clue that it is actually Newkirk in disguise.
