Hogan's Heroes is a comedy television series produced by Bing Crosby Productions about a band of multinational POW´s imprisoned in the German Prisoner Of War camp Stalag 13 during World War II. After creating a vast underground tunnel network directly beneath the prison complex, the group around Colonel Robert E. Hogan (Bob Crane) begins to disrupt the German war machinery through cunning sabotage operations. The series ran from 1965 to 1971 across 6 Seasons with a total number of 168 episodes.
The following weapons were used in the television series Hogan's Heroes:
Pistols
Beretta M1934
Major Bonacelli (Hans Conried) uses a Beretta M1934 in "The Pizza Parlor", (Season 1, Episode 22). The handgun made a reappearance in "How to Catch a Papa Bear" (Season 4, Episode 3).
Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless
Sidearm of the Resistance.
Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammer
Used by the resistance along with the Colt M1911.
Colt M1911

Luger P08
Most prominently featured in the pilot episode and used throughout the rest of the series by German soldiers and resistance members.
Walther P38
Standard sidearm of the German soldiers.
Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action
Used by the "Milk Maid" in "Diamonds in the Rough" (Season 2, Episode 3). It can also be seen in "The Rise and Fall of Sergeant Schultz" (Season 2, Episode 6) in the hands of Cpl. Louis LeBeau (Robert Clary). A German doctor is also using one to examine Newkirks reflexes in "The Swing Shift" (Season 2, Episode 21).
Submachine Guns
MP40
Wielded by part of the German forces. These appear to be a mix of replica MP40 and what might be plastic props. The latter can be recognized by the filled-in space between the magazine well and the receiver.
Thompson Submachine Gun
Used as a stand-in for the MP40 and by members of the resistance. Most of the Thompson Submachine Guns appear to be replicas which have pistol grips and shoulder stocks made of metal and no ejection port.
Rifles
Krag-Jørgensen rifle
The Krag-Jørgensen rifles were used as a stand-in for the German Karabiner 98 which was used by the German military before, during and after WWII.
M1 Carbine
Used by German resistance members and allied soldiers.
M1 Garand
Seen in the hands of LeBeau (Robert Clary) in "Monkey Business"(Season 3, Episode 29).
Machine Guns
Browning M1919
Browning M1919 with slotted barrel shrouds are used in Stalag 13 towers.
MG34
Featured in repeatedly re-used stock footage by German soldiers.
MG42
Used by the guards of Stalag 13 and SS soldiers.
Explosives
(fake) Model 24 Stielhandgranate
In "Praise the Fuhrer and Pass the Ammunition" (Season 2, Episode 19), SS officers training close to Stalag 13 are using fake Stielhandgranaten. They make a reappearance in "The Empty Parachute" (Season 5, Episode 11). The prop people apparently did not do much research on how the actual Model 24 works, so the cord with which the grenade is primed is not kept within the handle, but is attached to the head of the grenade (the "Pot").
