Other mistake: When Hogan is using the periscope to look at the incoming vehicles, the angle seen is from an elevated position. The view from the periscope should have been straight on, rather than elevated.

Nights in Shining Armor - S3-E8
Other mistake: When Hogan shoots the vest, it stays still for a couple of seconds then swings in a way that is not normal.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
The Flight of the Valkyrie - S1-E5
Other mistake: As Crittendon pops through the wall, it is easily seen that the wall is Styrofoam, or other similar easily moldable material.
25th May 2015
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Man's Best Friend Is Not His Dog - S4-E6
Other mistake: When seeing the tanks through the viewfinder, Carter's hands and the background are frozen, and the tanks are actually a clip of a wartime newsreel.
21st Feb 2015
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: Towards the end, the shot of the plane landing is a recycled shot. Even though Klink waved the flashlight, an unidentified person can be seen in the shot waving a signal light in the midst of the field. Klink was by his car.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Nights in Shining Armor - S3-E8
Other mistake: In Hogan's quarters, after Hogan reveals the two Aces up Newkirk's sleeve, Newkirk goes to brush his hair. As his hand goes up, you can see the cards in his hand.
17th Nov 2014
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: Baker goes to tap the rectangular spot to open the trapdoor, not only does he hit it once rather then twice, but it sticks in the pressed position. A moment later, Hogan hits it, but it stays in the pressed position rather than popping out. The sound of the pressing is played, but the button doesn't move.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Sergeant Schultz Meets Mata Hari - S3-E4
Other mistake: As the lady Gestapo spy comes into the beer hall, Schultz not only has a matchbook in hand, but keeps looking at the action between the bartender and the lady, waiting for his entrance cue.
18th Aug 2014
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: Carter said the plans and note were in the box that was supposed to contain a model of the Hindenburg. However, the box he's building out of has "STUKA" on the side.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Everyone Has a Brother-in-Law - S2-E23
Other mistake: When the boys are listening on the coffee pot, the red light to indicate power is not lit.
7th Aug 2014
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: When the boys are listening to Klink's office, the lid is on the speaker instead of being off.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
A Klink, a Bomb and a Short Fuse - S2-E8
Other mistake: After Burkhalter gives Klink the order to help disarm the bomb, the camera cuts to Hogan and Klink. Between them and over the barracks, you can see the Desilu water tower.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Top Hat, White Tie and Bomb Sights - S1-E10
Other mistake: When Klink is trying to demonstrate the automated gates to Burkhalter, Kinch makes the gates close, knocking Klink into Burkhalter. Before Klink tells Schultz to open the gates, they are already in motion.
25th Nov 2013
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: The truck was stashed behind Hogan's barracks. The Kommandant's office was on the other side of the building. While stealing the boxes of gold, there would be no way that the POWs would have been able to see any approaching figure.
25th Nov 2013
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: After the truck is stopped, Newkirk tosses a dart at the tyre in order to flatten it. Since the tyre hit was the rear tire, there should have been the track from the front tire, but wasn't. Also, a puny, hand-tossed dart couldn't have penetrated the thick construction of a heavy-duty truck tire, let alone flatten it in twenty seconds.
25th Nov 2013
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: When stopping the truck and Schultz, the area directly behind Carter and LeBeau can be seen to be a matte painting. The reason is because where they are is completely covered in snow, but the open area is very little, and there is a huge snowdrift piled up at the wall.
24th Nov 2013
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: When the boys are working on the "jigsaw" map, Klink and the guard come in. There is a gust of wind from their entrance. Trouble is, the gust that blows the pieces comes from behind LeBeau, blowing the pieces toward Newkirk's bunk, rather than toward the camera.
21st Nov 2013
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Oil for the Lamps of Hogan - S1-E14
Other mistake: Anytime Hogan steals one of Klink's cigars from the back of the humidor, he takes the hinge pin out from the left of the box (camera's right). This time, he takes out the pin, got the cigar, and put the pin back in from just what looked like just left (camera's right) of center.

Color the Luftwaffe Red - S4-E8
Other mistake: The telephone booth located by the Luftwaffe HQ appears to be one of the London police boxes.
12th Nov 2013
Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Other mistake: When the head counterfeiter comes in, there is a sign on the barracks behind him that says "BARRACK 3." Two problems with this. First, Hogan and company are housed in Barrack 3. Second, there is not a Barrack building between Hogan's building and Klink's office building.
