I’m surprised there wasn’t a sitcom about life in the Japanese POW Camp.
My father-in-law was a WWII vet (ETO) and he saw absolutely nothing funny about Hogan's Heroes.

From wikipedia - In 2002, TV Guide named Hogan’s Heroes the fifth worst TV show of all time (p 180, Running Press, Philadelphia, 2007).[12] The listing for Hogan’s Heroes in particular accuses the show of trivializing the suffering of real life POWs and the victims of the Holocaust with its comedic take on prison camps in the Third Reich.
