"Hogan's Heros" was a comedy about a German POW camp.

There was also an old TV episode of "To Tell the Truth" from the mid- to late-1950's. They had a guest who said he had escaped twice from German prison camps during WW2.

Neither the real guest nor anyone on the panel ever mentioned anything about genocidal gas chambers, mass murder, or anything else. They were all just fascinated about how he could escape from prison camps (twice), and it was more of a "good fun" type of episode.

This was 10-15 years after the war. One of the panelists had been a WW2 pilot, and would have heard stories if those stories existed back then.
