The Movie of the imperialism that I have chosen is sadly not a Movie but a TV Show called Hogan’s Hero’s. Which takes place in World War 2 in Nazi POW camp run by a very“ Sad form of a commander” named commandant Klink and his unintelligent head sergeant, sergeant Schulz. The allied command had placed Hogan and several other agents into the camp to provide acts of sabotage to the Nazi war machine from in the camp called stallage 13 from which no prisoner has ever escaped.
In the show Hogan’s Hero’s commandant Klink appears as a cowardly and demoted Luftwaffe commander reassigned to prison duty after displays of incompetence. The underlying theme is the fact that Hogan is able to manipulate the commandant into doing what he wishes but at the same time making sure their true intentions are not known to the commandant. In doing so Hogan is oppressing commandant Klink into doing what is necessary to complete the group’s goals letting access certain things. In the show Hogan and his men’s base of operations is located under stallag thirteen. While Hogan is more talented in the way of special operations or spy work, which would make him stronger both in persuasive ability and tactics to emplace his own intentions. While also backed by the Allied command with information on targets moving in enemy territory. In the garrison stationed at the Stallag 13 are being constantly deceived from the true operations of the camp which leaves them unsuspecting and vulnerable for the Hogan and his saboteurs to manipulate them. Take Sergeant Schulz for example while the unsuspecting and unintelligent sergeant would unknowingly provide them with useful bits of information and German marks from gambling with Schulz and in many ways using his incompetence to their advantage like in the episode where stallag 13 was sent a shipment of dynamite to destroy high priority buildings. Schulz was the “volunteer” driver of the truck that would carry the dynamite to the hidden storage areas. To discover the location of the dynamite Hogan was able to persuade Schulz into providing the location of a map of the storage areas. Which Hogan was using his abilities to oppress Schulz’s situation with the driving what he called the “Suicide truck” Hogan obtained the location of the map. Hogan Was able to deceive the SS commander using their unsuspecting position as POW’s and then posing as fire inspectors to go into where they held the dynamite and the map with commander. After tricking those with smoke grenades to which the Nazi believed there was an actual fire and at the same time stole the map to the areas. This display’s creating and taking control of the situation for their own advantage to get what the need with out harming anyone and leaving no suspicion after saving the SS commander and stealing his maps of the region. In this case the Nazi’s were the one’s being out smarted and overtaken even when they do not even realize it. Which is what imperialism is in this article, taking over and dominating on a mental level and manipulative level.
