Robert Hogan

Col. Robert E. Hogan is the main protagonist of Hogan's Heroes. He is an American officer and Senior POW Officer for the prisoners of war at Stalag 13. He served as a member of the United States Army Air Forces during the Second World War and was responsible for secret operations at the prison run by Colonel Wilhelm Klink. He was portrayed by the late Bob Crane.
==History==
Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut in April of 1905 (the exact date is unknown), Hogan was born before the start of World War 1. Growing up, he lived in several major cities in the American Midwest including Indianapolis, Indiana; Cleveland, Ohio and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Known to have been a wild child in his youth, Hogan was known to have been an expert in the art of vandalism. His womanizing came about sometime during his teenaged years which stayed with him for the rest of his life.
By adulthood, Hogan became a career army man, joining the United States Air Force. He would soon rise to the rank of Colonel and enter the war as a bomber pilot.
===During the War===
Flying the 504th bomber squadron for 3 years, Hogan found himself shot down in one of his missions. He was eventually captured and sent to the Wehrmacht controlled Stalag 13 led by Commandant Col. Wilhelm Klink. This is where he commanded secret operations to sabotage the Nazi war effort and help other prisoners of war escape capture.
==Abilities==
Hogan is known for his wit and daring and was one person who knew the true aspects of reverse psychology. This of course allowed him to manipulate the Germans at the camp. He's also known to have the use of such abilities on the camps Commandant as well. Hogan is also known to be an excellent tactician when it comes to his operations and even considered a master of disguise only to those who've never actually met him before. When it comes to disguise as well, Hogan is also known to have an ability to mimic certain accents such as a German accent and use it to his advantage.
He usually also has a knowledge on the usage of firearms when it comes to his operations as well. When it comes to disguises as well, Hogan clearly has an idea of what they will need in order to pull of their operations. He's even got a method for covering up his operations in case Klink asks about operations that are noticeable.
