Klink for the Defense - S6-E19
Factual error: About 9 minutes in, Hochstater asks how long Hogan has been running this camp. Schultz responds, "3 years this November." The earliest Hogan could have been taken prisoner would be December '41, so it would have to be November '42 at the earliest, making it just before November '45. The war in Europe was over in May '45.

Klink for the Defense - S6-E19
Factual error: About 8 minutes into show, Major Hochstetter asks Schultz how long Colonel Hogan (an American) has been running the camp, and Schultz says 3 years last November. This is impossible. The US didn't get into the war until December, 1941, He would have to have been captured November '42 or earlier but the war was over by November 1945.

Factual error: While the show always made it winter time by having snow on everything (salt piles strewn about) and icicles on all the windows, this episode has an actual date of occurrence, June 6, 1944. They help to solve the snow on the set by taping the whole episode inside. However, the windows still all have the ice formations on them. It's late spring.
Suggested correction: Not necessarily. Quite a few Americans served with the RAF before America declared war. The Eagle Squadron American volunteers fought at the Battle of Britain in 1940 for example.

Hogan was an American bomber pilot.

If Hogan was an American serving with an RAF Eagle Squadron, he would be wearing a blue RAF uniform and cap, not a predominantly brown USAAF uniform.
