Forty Acres
“I hear nothing! I see nothing! I know nothing!”
Sergeant Hans Georg Schultz (John Banner)
Colonel Hogan (Bob Crane) and his men are prisoners of war of the Luftwaffe. Thanks to a network of tunnels and the shaky support of Sergeant Schultz (John Banner), the soldiers manage to foil some of the Nazis’ plans and help their fellow airmen reach England while pretending that they are still wisely imprisoned.
Hell is not just fiction
Shot as a parody of the horror of the Second World War, the series is based on the testimonies of several actors. Robert Clary, Corporal Louis LeBeau in fiction, experienced the hell of Auschwitz-Birkenau. John Banner, interpreter for Sergeant Schultz, fled Austria when the Third Reich annexed his country. Part of his family was not lucky enough to make it. Finally, Werner Klemperer, alias Colonel Wilhelm Klink, was able to rely on his father, the conductor Otto Klemperer. The latter left in 1933 to escape the Nazi regime and settle in Los Angeles.
The Forty Acres for Stalag XIII

8400 Higuera St
Forty Acres at 8400 Higuera St was an extension of DeMille Studios that hosted the 1927 film The King of Kings for its first appearance.
Due to a lack of studio space, Cecil B. DeMille rented a lot a few blocks from his famous sheds. On a triangular plot of about 12 hectares, the producer undertook to use the site for life-size sets. After having hosted films such as King Kong in 1933, Gone with the Wind in 1939 and Around the World in Eighty Days in 1956, the site was destroyed in 1976. Several buildings have since been constructed on this site.
