Name the Secrets of Stalag 13


(1.)The lower bunk bed in Hogan's barracks.When a small panel on the upper bunk frame is pressed the lower bunk rises upward as the floor lowers to reveal an opening with a ladder.This leads to the hidden underground complex from which Hogan & his men operate.

The locker in the barracks is used as a darkroom to develop film. I always wondered why they just didn't use a place in underground tunnel as it would be easier to keep dark.

An ice cream freezer was once used as a transmitter by turning the crank. It was shot up however, but did have ice cream in it, so Klink was none the wiser.

Also (I don't think anyone else named this): In Hogan's room and in the barracks there are window shade type pull-downs that could alternately display a map or of a "pin-up" girl.

A bottom block of the wall in solitary moves to allow access to a tunnel

The periscope that allows them to see guards outside the camp ( different from the periscope in the water barrel)

reply

A footlocker has a false bottom and has been used to keep anything from guns to radios to war swag, such as the beer mug they offered to sell Schultz that had the initials A.H. on it.

reply

There is a fake basket of wood with a false top also that is used to store LeBeau's cooking stuff...

In the episode "Hogan's Double Life," two coffee cans (with dead plants) disguise a pair of binoculars.
