A prime example being ''Colonel Klink's Secret Weapon'' when after receiving a poor rating from the Inspector General he brings in a stern new sergeant to discipline the prisoners. Unfortunately, the sergeant starts disciplining ''him,'' along with making Klink look bad to advance his career, and he knows all regulations and has the family connections to get away with it. Klink ends up begging Hogan for help in getting rid of him.

Burkhalter affected to live a Spartan existence like a good German officer, but in reality, he loved the good life, even in war.

Kommandant Oberst (German for Colonel) Wilhelm Klink is an old-line Luftwaffe officer of aristocratic (Junker) Prussian descent and a blatant social climber. He was born in Leipzig in the early 1890s, though he refers to Düsseldorf, where he attended the Gymnasium (high school) (graduating 43rd in his class), as his home town. After failing the entrance exams to study law or medicine, he received an appointment from Kaiser Wilhelm II to a military academy, through the influence of his uncle, the Bürgermeister's barber, and graduated 95th in his class.

United States Army Air Corps Technical Sergeant Andrew J. Carter (fun fact, he was a Lieutenant in the pilot episode) is in charge of ordnance and bomb-making. He also shows talent in chemistry and can produce formulas and chemical devices as needed. Carter is also often called upon to impersonate German officers and, most convincingly, Adolf Hitler. While bright and enthusiastic at his specialties, Carter often shows a lack of common sense otherwise.

United States Army Air Forces Colonel Robert E. Hogan is the senior ranking POW officer in the camp and the leader of the group. He was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, but considers Cleveland, Ohio to be his home. He commanded the 504th Bomb Group before he was shot down while on a raid on Hamburg in an operation masterminded by Luftwaffe Colonel Biedenbender. It is stated by a US Navy officer in a first-season episode that "If you weren't one of their prisoners, you'd be one of ours", due to his less-than-legal methods of accomplishing his goals. General Biedenbender stated that Hogan has a flair for the overcomplex, which is often shown in the series. Many of the covert operations shown are highly complex, but due to Hogan's care in planning and the skill of the other characters, they are usually successful.
