Has anyone who's seen this episode get the feeling that the story was taken from Hogans Heros? This episode was aired in 1969 Hogans Heros started airing in 1966.

I never really made the connection. I didn't watch Hogan's Heroes so that may have had something to do with it.
I like the way they use parodies of movie titles in a lot of their episodes.

Two of the recurring characters on Get Smart (Seigfried and Shtarker) were thinly diguised Nazi's so it's not surprising that an episode involving those characters would bear a resemblance to Hogan's Heros.

HOGANS HEROES started in 1965 not 66.

It wasn't taken from Hogan's Heroes at all. It was a parody of the classic Steve McQueen movie The Great Escape. (1963)
