Mad #108 (Albert Feldstein) - Hogan's Heroes Issue - January 1967

Mad tells the truth.  And the truth told in Mad #108 is that Nazi prison camps were not funny.  I think that Larry Siegel and Jack Davis brought this point across effectively with their satire of Hogan's Heroes.  Whoever thought that Nazi prisoners were having a great old time was not anyone who spent any time in one of those prisons.  The television producers reached their nadir when they decided that a World War II prison-of-war camp was a good subject for a situation comedy.
