In a somehow fitting but still bizarre twist of fate, the exterior sequences of the notorious Nazi-oriented exploitation film "Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS" (1975) were filmed on the same POW camp set as the comedy Nazi-oriented TV series "Hogan's Heroes" in Culver City. While a comedy series about Nazis was controversial even then, it's clear that Mel Brook's original "The Producers" (1967) cleared a path for such endeavors.
The final sequence of Ilsa required the camp to burn to the ground. Since Heroes had ended production in 1971 and the set needed to be demolished anyway, it was set on fire to provide Ilsa with her dramatic exit.
Only here in L.A.
