100% right! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kirby shows the initiative and determination to get things done when the chips are down. A good man to have in your squad under any circumstances.
After 4 seasons of fighting, I think Caje, Kirby, LittleJohn, Doc, and the Sargent need promotions and several medals for each!!! I had forgotten how good this show was!
Having watched all of the episodes in order now going back to see some of my favorites again. This one was great. Kirby finally got of his own back and boy did he change! In the later episodes he has matured and become a real mensch!
Yes this is TV show, yes, it is about WWII. Yes, in the military there’s plenty of replacement of gear; that said, I find it interesting how all the equipment that is lost is replaced. The sergeant’s Thompson, the Lt’s 45 pistol 🔫 in a prior episode. And sadly, all the ppl who were lost in battle. I do like the shows.
Early in the series my WWII dad called Kirby a "goofball" but in later seasons said he had turned into a "good solder" the highest compliment my Dad could give.
Kirby took a BIG chance, but under the circumstances it paid off. INITIATIVE! It can get you a Medal or it can get you Dead! Still gotta do what you gotta do and Kirby did well...
The Kirby at the end is the one we all love😇 The leader side of him didn't feel right- isn't it funny how Kirby's always arguing about order, yet when he gets the opportunity to give them, he decides he doesnt like it!
W.G. Kirby....one of my favs. Belly acher but when the stuff hits the fan Kirby is the"shit". Great episode, as always...writing, acting, direction...realism the whole package. Bronze star for Kirby....take it from an old ground pounder...long live liberty Sempre Fi!
@@kathrynmcmahon4048 I was 9-13 when Combat first aired. I think maybe one reason it didn’t continue was because we were starting to get a lot of news about Vietnam that wasn’t encouraging.
I love how this whole episode everyone is hating on Kirby and his abilities as a leader then there’s Doc and Littlejon in the background like “don’t listen to them Kirby, you’re doing great” 😂😂😂
At 14:57 it sounds like Kirby says " do you think i want these fucking guys hanging around my neck", i listened 3 times and i swear it sounds like he says that.
It is funny for squad members to look at only Kirby of soldier when Saunders doesn't come back and communication with Lt Henry is off ,which means that a military leader has heavy burden on his shoulders.
Ok you two can split up Kirby, McCall, the Lt. And I'll even through in the Sarge for good measure just keep your hands off that sexy frenchman (Caje)...he's all mine!!! Lol
Those abandoned houses and buildings can become boobytraps. That could mean instant explosions and mortality. Scary to even think about those very chances one takes in such scenarios. Uhhh!!!
whiskeyify - Absolutely, he has a nice smile and great eyes. (Hart throb.) But yes, this was a really good episode to close out season 4. Throughout all of season 1, 2, 3, & 4, Kirby has kind of grown on me, I like his character now then I originally did (and after watching all these episodes I guess he’s kind of sexy too
Think of the thousands that didn't, as if their lives had no value. And a few dictators that caused the eradication of hundreds of millions of our brothers and sisters in the first half of last century.
This was the very last Black and White episode. When the came back for season 5, the production went color. Personally, I preferred the Black and White episodes. Went better when they would cut to actual WWll footage. If you think you need an acting lesson, just watch this one and take notes! Thanks Jack Hogan!
Copy That, that’s why i put in requisition to bump him to Sargent, but forget Little John, I could never trust him to lead my men after that stunt he pulled to break into that German makeshift hospital when we were up to our neck in Krauts & under Heavy Fire & Little J turned queer on us in Season 3
A must watch tv serial during my childhood days
Yeap once I made squad leader n Sargent I inherited nothing but headaches in the Army 😂😂😂
100% right! I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kirby shows the initiative and determination to get things done when the chips are down. A good man to have in your squad under any circumstances.
Brilliant. This would be great for leadership training. Kirby had to make tough decisions, take care of his men and try to stay calm.
Thanks for the upload. I live abroad and these shows are priceless.
Kirby was born to lead and operate that BAR,he was murder with that weapon,extra ordinary show,all of it
one of the all time best episodes.
Kirby should have been made corporal after this. Damned good episode.
All of them had been promoted after the first year of filming if that had been for real.
Great season. Have watched all the episodes in order 1-4 now. Heading out for 5 :-)
@Legion 57 LOL - Have since repeated and some episodes 3 X
After 4 seasons of fighting, I think Caje, Kirby, LittleJohn, Doc, and the Sargent need promotions and several medals for each!!! I had forgotten how good this show was!
I've never really seen LT. Hanley smile or even laugh like he did at the very end of this episode.
what a show,me and dad loved it,couldn't wait to see them in actions
Gotta love Kirby. He did good. Made tough decisions.
Having watched all of the episodes in order now going back to see some of my favorites again. This one was great. Kirby finally got of his own back and boy did he change! In the later episodes he has matured and become a real mensch!
Kirby found out that being in-charge is a heavy burden when everyone looks to you for answers.
He did a GREAT job.

great episode...and one of the rare times we get to see the Lt. smile and laugh a little..
This is a great episode! 😎👍🏼
thanks for uploading these, I love watching them!
This is probably my favorite combat episode. Kirby seems like a real guy we all know.
When tried by fire,we all find out what we are made of.Good on Kirby
The Kirby at the end is the one we all love😇 The leader side of him didn't feel right- isn't it funny how Kirby's always arguing about order, yet when he gets the opportunity to give them, he decides he doesnt like it!
Kirby was always my favorite, I would not want to carry that 26 pound BAR around all day.
man I remember this series when I was a kid in MT. and it brings back a lot of memories to me this and the Rat Patrol
W.G. Kirby....one of my favs. Belly acher but when the stuff hits the fan Kirby is the"shit". Great episode, as always...writing, acting, direction...realism the whole package. Bronze star for Kirby....take it from an old ground pounder...long live liberty Sempre Fi!
hey off to the colour seasons now! its been a long time since i watched series 1 episode 1!!
3 weeks behind you, must say the writing is very good overall.
Combat should have stayed back w. Combat should have been given another season or two out of respect to finish everything off!!!!
@@kathrynmcmahon4048 I was 9-13 when Combat first aired. I think maybe one reason it didn’t continue was because we were starting to get a lot of news about Vietnam that wasn’t encouraging.
No. The big shots were too cheap to do a last season!!! Truth!!!
@@joleevasquez4461 suits were TOO cheap!!!
This is how Alpha or Bravo Fire-Team Leaders become Assistant Squad Leaders or Squad Leaders.
I love how this whole episode everyone is hating on Kirby and his abilities as a leader then there’s Doc and Littlejon in the background like “don’t listen to them Kirby, you’re doing great” 😂😂😂
Kirby deserves a Medal for His performance in this episode . He is a natural born Leader .!.
Damn good episode.
At 14:57 it sounds like Kirby says " do you think i want these fucking guys hanging around my neck", i listened 3 times and i swear it sounds like he says that.
PopPop41951 He said, "this bunch of guys."
Kirby did a great job. And he's still a BAR man, at heart.
We wouldn't have him any other way😇
PatriotNC1 bolongmajjallaa

William G. Kirby now ya know
Ok you two can split up Kirby, McCall, the Lt. And I'll even through in the Sarge for good measure just keep your hands off that sexy frenchman (Caje)...he's all mine!!! Lol
Mines Vic ALL THE WAY. Still so sad about his loss. Sorely missed!!! I wish Vic could see how his work is very well appreciated!!!
Too many Krauts with too many machine guns and paddle bombs!
Those abandoned houses and buildings can become boobytraps. That could mean instant explosions and mortality. Scary to even think about those very chances one takes in such scenarios. Uhhh!!!
Not William G. Kirby, they don't...sir!
Very good creative plot, and writing!
One of my favorite shows of all time!
15:01 "I'm a B.A.R. Man"
J adore trop bien du premier épisode au dernier épisode

Liljon grew up too, gave Kirby his true respect in silence. 💖sexy Kirby💖Retribution, High named today, brother brother, Hills are for heroes..
Already finished season 5 in color and on my second run but now going backwards JUST LOVE COMBAT!!
@Legion 57 yes they are getting younger instead of older.... lol
@@garymorgan1356 God bless them all!!! All these guys are so missed
That basement has been well used...
Yeah, I wonder where it is in real life, if its still there....
Me gustó este capitulo❤ verlo Kirby de jefe fue 👍, podría pasarlo en Español.
Fue muy bueno verlo a Kirby al mandó
Good Leader Kirby
You have to wonder how some of these guys made it off the beaches at Normandy.
Think of the thousands that didn't, as if their lives had no value. And a few dictators that caused the eradication of hundreds of millions of our brothers and sisters in the first half of last century.
Good action packed episode........and this should shut up Kirby's smartmouthing for the rest of the war.
mccjoh1 hehe
ccsra5 - Ok, to each their own, but it getting harder and harder to choose which one to take.
What a bummer, the final black and white.
littlesis47 - OK, Watch it littlesis, were going to keep an eye on you, no butting in. Twos company, but three? Hum, could be very interesting ….
Ps-it posted under Mrs. ground pounder....doh! Long live our Republic, God bless our troops and our country we fight for!
The actor who was complaining is William Bryant was in a few episodes season 5 his name was Mcall.😂Kirby should of been promoted to General LOL.😊
ccsra5 - Oh, Oh, we better watch our backs, check out “littlesis47”
This was the very last Black and White episode. When the came back for season 5, the production went color. Personally, I preferred the Black and White episodes. Went better when they would cut to actual WWll footage. If you think you need an acting lesson, just watch this one and take notes! Thanks Jack Hogan!

Do they have possums in Germany?
MemphoOnTheMississippi Interesting question...
Possums are native to North America, but they might have imported some in Germany, like we did ring-neck pheasants.

Copy That, that’s why i put in requisition to bump him to Sargent, but forget Little John, I could never trust him to lead my men after that stunt he pulled to break into that German makeshift hospital when we were up to our neck in Krauts & under Heavy Fire & Little J turned queer on us in Season 3
