Name all the secret devices and surveillance stuff Hogan and his guys used...


I'll start:

1. The listening device in their coffeepot. The basket was a speaker, when the red light is on, Klink is talking on his phone.

2. (the best one, hands down) The fake tree trunk that led to the tunnel which led to their 'downstairs apartment.'

3. The Guard Dogs trained to listen to the prisoners rather than the guards. (Always wondered how they pulled that one off, then I saw an episode where they explained the dog trainer/supplier was a member of the underground.)

4. Switchboard override.

My NUMBER one question which was never explained: How the heck did they excavate that huge network of caves. without alerting anyone. Did the Germans unknowingly build Stalag 13 on top of an existing cave system and the allies just decided to take advantage of the situation to place Hogan's men in the camp and serve as the headquarters?

The way all POWs do - they walk around the excercise yard sprinkling the dirt on the ground through their trousers
