There's a bear in there...and it's that time again. A little teaser for the 2025 SSSWC.

Sunday, June 14, 1942: resilience against oppression, unity among friends despite hardship, and finding joy while creating turmoil, Hogan decides to celebrate the US Army's 167th birthday despite being inside a prisoner of war camp. Written in honor of the US Army's 250th birthday; I salute you, fellow veterans.

The day was business as usual—until it wasn't. The Unsung Heroes of Stalag 13 moved through their mission prep with practiced ease until the mention of a single name stopped everything cold. As confusion deepened, Colonel Hogan found himself questioning reality—and his own memory. Response to Challenge #125, "The New Faces Challenge."

A new troublemaker is shaking up Stalag 13, and Hogan uncovers a dark past that forces the team into an unthinkable decision. Faced with orders they believe are necessary, they must carry out a mission that tests their sense of right and wrong. Warning: The team's moral dilemma may upset some readers. Ch 1-4 were posted in 2014 and 2021, then revised. Other chapters new.

A small German POW camp nestled deep in Wehrkreis XIII of war torn , where humor clashed with desperation and loyalty danced precariously on the edge of treachery, a chance event reveals more than what Klink bargained for.

All Newkirk wants is a quiet cup of tea. Instead, he's being drafted by the camp's Welsh rugby team, with Colonel Hogan's full complicity. With a squad of New Zealanders arriving from Luftstalag 12 and a secret mission in play, Hogan needs a bruised Englishman to help sell the story. Newkirk just wants to survive it with his fingers—and dignity—intact.

In honor of the weekend

Major Hochstetter is on trial for his war crimes. Nimrod is the prosecution's last minute witness against Major Hochstetter. Why is Nimrod testifying against Hochstetter?

Just another night's work at a dreary POW camp

Sometimes, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Challenge 406: Where's Olsen. It was only a matter of time before Col. Hogan's "outside man," Sgt. Olsen, was caught, but Olsen isn't going down without a fight. For him, the only thing scarier than whoever figured out his real identity is the uncertainty of his future if he can't put things back to the way they were before.

Newkirk gets a bit too in his head about nothing in particular. Warning: it's a little dark, I rated it T but do be wary.

The Fuhrer has challenged the Little Old Lady From Hammelburg to a 500 mile race around Hammelburg. The story covers events leading to, during and after the race. Colonel Klink, the Red Baron and a guy name Herbie pay a visit to Hammelburg. What shenanigans will happen during and after the race?

When Colonel Klink decides that a friendly baseball game will impress visiting inspectors, Hogan spots the perfect opportunity for sabotage—under the guise of sportsmanship. A long-overdue "prize" for snooky-9093 for totally dominating a past reviewathon - and of course it was inspired by her excellent "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."

It's time for the annual baseball tournament. Can the even-numbered barracks come back from their humiliating defeat at the hands of the odd-numbered barracks the previous year? And meanwhile, a familiar but unwelcome visitor adds a complication to the mix-which could bring down the entire operation.

Years after the war, Hochstetter is still obsessed with Hogan and now it's time for revenge. Response to Challenge #31

Seventeen-year-old Danny Callahan never expected to end up in Stalag 13. Reckless and stubborn, he pushes against Hogan’s rules, determined to prove himself. But Hogan and his team refuse to let him self-destruct, enforcing strict discipline and unwavering protection. When Danny’s recklessness gets him hurt, he learns the hard way that disobedience has consequences.
