What do you get when you mix a General with good taste in music, a scheming drummer who somehow became a Colonel, a prison camp full of burgeoning musicians, and Germany's worst Violinist? Somehow, the performance of a lifetime...
Ever wonder what life at Stalag 13 would be like through a different set of eyes? This here is a first hand account of life in a POW camp, brought to you by 'Hogan's Hero's' own mascot: Buttons. Complete for now, maybe one day will have additional entries added.
Set after You've Got To Be Kitten Me They say cats can't be trained and Hogan doesn't believe they can be either. He tells Maisie that if Buttons learns to carry messages, he'll eat his cap. When he finds himself in a precarious situation, he might just have to make good on what he said. OC.
Life at Stalag 13 gets interesting with the arrival of the prison camps newest member, albeit, of the feline variety. Set after Little Bear: Mission Impossible OC
Members of Hogan's team are pressed into service when the Colonel hatches a plan to slip two New Zealand POWs out of Germany. This is a followup to my SSSWC story, Welsh Invasion. This one's for Hildegaarde. It's not a terribly long story, and updates will come at about one per week for about five weeks.
Mavis is embarrassed to admit it, but the letters from her brother describing his best mate Andrew have caused her to develop a bit of a crush on him. So she writes him a letter, hoping Peter doesn't get whiff of it and that the brave and clever Andrew will write back, saying he feels the same way *Also posted on AO3*
Sequel to "A Murder of Pigeons." The flock's leader isn't done with Stalag 13 just yet.
The arrival of five Welsh speaking RAF men has a strange impact on Newkirk. Written for the 2022 SSSWC. All the Welsh words are either footnoted or in context.
When Hogan steps on his past, he finds a friendly face and a reminder of how that past still lives with him. SSSW2022.
Royal Navy 371 has another mission...for the SSSW Challenge 2022
Chaos reigns supreme over Stalag 13 when a flock of pigeons pays them a visit. For SSSWC 2022.
Hochstetter has dropped off a rather interesting piece of experimental equipment to be stored temporarily at Stalag XIII. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot, of course.
Ever notice that Hogan's Heroes lasts six seasons and yet it is literally winter time in every single episode? So what the hell do they do all summer? (Copied over from Ao3)
Hochstetter's getting an award? (This is in answer to a word challenge to use "Oration" and "Powder" in a short story.) Complete!
How to (un)democratically elect your barracks dishwasher. Alternatively, a wet winter's evening and a surprisingly lazy bunch of Heroes do not good decisions necessarily make.
Robert Hogan is a very, very creative man, and there's no doubt that imagination can alter perceptions of reality.
It's Friday the 13th at Stalag 13, and Colonel Hogan is having the worse bad luck ever. He's never been a superstitious person; Carter, however, strongly is. As the day unfolds and accident after accident befalls Hogan, will he begin believing Carter's ramblings? Does bad luck actually exist? What he doesn't realize is things aren't always as they seem. Please leave your opinions.
Newkirk, a guard dog, and a cup of tea. What could go wrong? This completely silly story is part of a story-like thing called "Garbage In, Garbage Out" that I posted on Ao3. Unlike the other chapters in that story-like thing, this one wasn't heavily machine-generated. I grabbed some ideas from a "headline generator" and the wrote the story, with a nice assist from my beta.
This story is meant as an episode in my imagined seventh and final season of Hogan's Heroes. This episode does not follow up episode 1, Winds of Change but rather is meant as the 5th or 6th episode. The Heroes are visited by three old friends and one of them needs help to return to his homeland to aid in it's liberation.
Timber! Newkirk has face-planted in the prison yard again. This is pure whump about a sick Newkirk, aka His Crankiness, and how his friends put up with him even when they want to throttle him. I'm sure it's been done a million times, but I'm doing it anyway. Updates will be quick because most of it is written.
Captain Dietrich must survive Stalag 13 while disguised as Sgt. Troy
Klink must tighten the purse strings, so he dismisses the guard dogs and brings in replacements who will work for... cheep? A response to one of Tuttle's more deranged challenges. (It's identified at the end of chapter 1.) This is looking like seven or eight chapters now...
With the gift of some wine from the French Resistance and the help of an unexpected visitor, Hogan and his men work to save a nighttime bombing mission on a special night.
A series of drabbles from the prompt.
My answer to challenge 395-a word a day: joy being the first one.
After lights out, some strange miracle takes place in camp on Christmas Day.
Pets are a luxury (in a prison camp even more so); but when a humble, sweet-mannered stray finds a path into the tunnels under Stalag 13, as well as into the hearts of our Heroes, how much trouble could it possibly be? NO APPLICABLE CONTENT WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.
Another entry in the 2014 SSSW challenge. Klink has really had a bad day. And his night is getting worse. A missing scene from "Nights in Shining Armor."
What happens in the woods, stays in the woods. Unless the woods leave their mark on you. On his first solo mission, Newkirk finds out what happens to city people when they tangle with the outdoors. Submission for the 2014 Short Story Speed Writing Tournament.
