Eva (Cynthia Lynn; 1937-2014) and Greta (Sheila Leighton) are villainesses from "Easy Come, Easy Go," episode 6.15 of Hogan's Heroes (airdate January 10, 1971).

Eva and Greta are seductive Nazi beauties who appeared in the beginning of the episode as guests of a party orchestrated by General Burkhalter. Col. Robert Hogan was the guest of honor, and regarding Eva and Greta, the villainous pair was enlisted to seduce Hogan into cooperating in the Nazis' latest plan: to head to London and steal an American P-51 Mustang plane to fly to Germany so the Nazis could study it. The evil beauties worked their seduction on Hogan, enticing him to see them sometime in Hammelburg, though Hogan was quick to realize that Burkhalter wanted something from him.

Hogan originally turned down the offer of $1 million to steal the plane, but after telling his Heroes about the plan and revealing that Burkhalter tipped his hand and told him that a Nazi spy ring was operating in England, Hogan agreed to the plan while dancing with Greta at the following night's party. Hogan used his cooperation to shut down the ring, while also having the plane crash after he and Col. Klink jumped out, though Eva and Greta's fates were not revealed in the episode.
