Other mistake: After Shultz herds the prisoners into the barracks, Hogan opens the door and motions to Newkirk in the tank to get going. Problem is, there are no side viewports for Newkirk to see Hogan, and it looks like he motions to the camera. Also, Shultz is at the wrong end of the building to see the tank go into the end of the barracks.

Continuity mistake: When in Hogan's quarters, they're planning to steal a Tiger Tank from the Germans. When Hogan rolls up the map, the holder it's on magically slides back into the wall. Any other time, he has to push it back.

The Antique - S5-E12
Visible crew/equipment: When Burkhalter first comes into the office, the camera rolls a little closer. As it does, you can see the shadow of the camera on Burkhalter's arm.

Trivia: Field Marshall Richter's car is a Rolls Royce. It can be determined first from the radiator. It has the base for the famous flying lady, but she is missing. Second, there is a rectangle on the face of the radiator that appeared to have once had the Rolls Royce logo plaque. Also, the body style and the small trunk with the small top-mounted access panel are suggestive of the Rolls Royce.

Revealing mistake: The bunk that is the entrance to the tunnels appears to be moving upward about a split second before Newkirk taps the hidden key to activate it.

Revealing mistake: Whenever there is a shot of the outside of the barracks, where it can be seen that it is outside on the studio lot, look at the "snow" on the roofs. Most of the time, it appears to be just paint in the shape of snowdrifts.

Continuity mistake: When Hogan and Klink are getting ready to take off, they are on a regular paved runway. In the wide shot of the plane, it's going down and taking off from a dirt runway.

Other mistake: When Carter goes to switch the full cup for the empty one, he accidentally sloshes water on Newkirk's hand and the fan of cards in it. When Carter goes to move the cups, look at Newkirk's hand. The cup exchange happens in front of the hand. The hand is out of range of the water.

Audio problem: When Hogan is taking pictures of Shultz in front of the halt-track (really, getting shots of the control panel), in the second photo, the shot is shown as if it's Hogan looking through the camera. He starts on Shultz's face, but pans down and to the right to get the control panel. Just as the view gets on the panel, you hear the shutter click, just before the camera fully settles on the panel.

Revealing mistake: When the guys are by the half-track keeping Shultz busy, if you look just above and to the left of Shultz's head, you see some tall fencing at the top of the hill in the distance. From the set up, if appears to be a baseball field outside of the studio property.

Revealing mistake: When the men are in the yard during their exercise period playing football, there is a wide shot of the yard. The half-track is to the left of the screen with Shultz next to it. If you look above the barracks, the Desilu water tower and a large metal building, possibly a studio building, can be seen.

A Klink, a Bomb and a Short Fuse - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When Burkhalter is standing with Klink after he first arrives, Burkhalter's arms are by his side. When the camera cuts to a close-up, Burkhalter's arms are crossed behind his back, much too quickly than is possible.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Revealing mistake: As the building is being prepared for the upcoming event, and men are going in and out, as Shultz goes to report to Klink, look past him and the roof behind him. You can see the studio water tower in the distance.

Continuity mistake: When Shultz comes out of the NCO Club, he bumps into Klink. After yelling for a moment, Shultz talks with Klink. While talking, Klink has his monocle on. After taking a couple of steps past Shultz, he turns around and addresses Shultz again; when he does so, you see that the monocle is missing, without being taken off.

Hogan's Heroes (1965)
Continuity mistake: After Burkhalter relieves Shultz of command, and Klink is reinstated, Klink sits behind the desk. On the blotter is a letter opener that Burkhalter was toying with, and a black covered notebook. After sitting, Klink reaches in his jacket pocket, pulls out the same notebook, and reads from it. The shot cuts to Shultz and back, and the book Klink read from is gone, (presumably back in the pocket) and the one on the desk is gone.

Continuity mistake: Notice the jacket that Carter always wears. It always appears worn with age and use. This episode, it appears almost new.

Anchors Aweigh, Men of Stalag 13 - S1-E16
Factual error: When Shultz is standing at the top of the ramp with a crate marked "hors d'oeuvres", talking with Carter and Lebeau, if you look to the right of Shultz's head (camera's left) you can see the Desilu Studios water tower.

Heil Klink - S2-E22
Continuity mistake: As Brauner, dressed as Shultz, gets into the staff car, he has no glasses on, as Shultz does not routinely wear them. After the shot cuts to Shultz and back to Brauner, and as the car pulls away, you see Brauner with horn rimmed glasses suddenly on.

The Top Secret Top Coat - S2-E29
Continuity mistake: When Hogan and company are getting ready to listen to the sock from "Aunt Alice" they plug the coffee pot up to their recorder. As they do so, the light that indicates power is lit up, but then Lebeau plugs in the power cord.
