Stalag 13 was an outdoor film set, built in 1964 near the northwest corner of RKO Forty Acres in Culver City. [1] It was used to depict various prison camps, most famously the POW camp of Hogan's Heroes. In early 1968 it also hosted a Mission: Impossible crew. [2] Often the camera faced the front gates from inside the compound near the commandant's office to show the passage of guest characters; such scenes looked northeast to a tree-covered berm beyond which utility poles along Higuera Street were visible. [3]
In 1974, Stalag 13 became the outdoor location in Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS. Set demolition began while that movie was photographed; by summer 1974 all traces of the "camp" were gone and a new set was erected for The Fortune. [4]
