You are right my friend. I too was 10 years old and I have waited until now to be able to appreciate what a great series this was. I will be 70 on June 3rd 2023. God bless America and all who died for our freedom.
A compelling episode. Hanley played the game of chess superbly. They were all great. " Combat " now belongs to the age of the immortals so to speak. In that it is a true classic never to be outdone. I salute all of them. They also showed America at its greatest.
" Cheri tire ",...WTF dude? Tell ya' what, let's go with character. I think that spelling thing did a number on you, but we knew what you meant and it's fine.
My Dad could have easily played the role of Sarge....when I watch the shows I'm really watching my dad....he was the best Marine ...this Marine ever served with... Semper Fi
A bit of trivia. This is the first TV role of Peter Renaday. He plays Louis the surgeon. He's the taller, French man with glasses, a beard and cabbie hat as I call it. Here he is credited as P. L. Renoudet. Peter Renaday voiced Mandrake the Magician in "Defenders of the Earth", but his most famous voice over work is as Master Splinter from the 80's TMNT.
The best Combat episode, seeing it now. Since I eagerly watched every episode as a kid I would've seen this in the 1960s. I'm sure I would not have grasped the significance of this storyline.
Moray and Sainte-croix are villages, close between them, in the Saône et Loire region of France near Dijon, so they use real french name for town in this good episode
Don't know much about The Marqui, if that's how it's spelled. Anyone up on that? Nevertheless, another splendid adventure with Combat, the greatest tv war series there ever was!

They sure don't have it together on stealth or concealment and rarely assign a person to cover the rear flank. They walk around in close formation on ridge-lines and in open spaces. Sheesh!
It travels close to the speed of light on wire, vs 100 feet per second as sound. Army Veteran Broadcast Engineer, here. Wire has a slight propagation delay, when compared to RF delivered signals. If you are a 'former veteran', how are you posting from your grave?
this would be a tough call,the LT was under orders,till they're changed they stand,i'm glad the french resistance was on our side,dad was there he said they fought and died,and he was proud of them,they loved their country too
You might be right about that and it's interesting to speculate whether the number of strikes corresponds to the number of rounds in an M1's stripper clip. I always thought that those were artillery shell strikes, especially because of the apparent shell fragment strikes beyond the impact center. The square holes might have been easier to create and replicate, as representations of bullet or shell impacts on a target field.
Hard to believe Rick Jason shot himself in the head and Vic Morrow was decapitated by a helicopter blade on a movie set. I looked them both up on Google. Just tragic.
It's so simple, Lt. Hanley should have locked up all the resistance fighters in the jail, take Etienne with him as he did and give him the jail key when he would arrive at base with Duval.
There were a lot more French men and women who collaborated than the French like to admit. The southern region, where anti-Semitism & sympathy for Fascism were strong, was governed by collaborators from 1940-42. It was known as Vichy France. French police cooperated with the Gestapo in rounding up Jews for deportation and they were very effective and thorough.
There was very little collaboration in the free zone of Vichy France until November of '42, when the Germans occupied the free zone, as they had in the north since '40. Anti_semitism was actually stronger in the North, in Alsace, and in Paris, where most of French jews lived. Many Jews, esp artists and musicians, lived in the free zone, and many tried to leave through the southern ports and the Pyrenées. There were many collaborators, North and South, but deportation in the Free Zone did not occur until after Nov.'42. France was a very divided country since the Dreyfus Affair, which polarized the country into 2 main camps, republican intellectual anti-clerical left, and catho, anti-semite and fascist right, that fought it out at the ballot box, the press, and in the streets in the '30s, with very little will left to fight the Nazis.
That’s why they call it a young man’s war. Their energy is relentless and renews itself everyday. The older you get the more tired you become. That’s explained in 12 o’Clock High’s “Storm at Twilight” episode when an older staff member of Col. Gallagher’s office wanted to be a combat pilot for personal reasons. The other pilots around him were 22 years old on the average.
8:00 Not quite a circle back... but it will do. Rule #17 of Major Robert Roger's 28 Standing Orders Rules for even today's Airborne Rangers is as follows... "If somebody's trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the folks that aim to ambush you." -Former Recondo Sgt. 82nd Abn. 1/504 71-74
It's a damn tv show, if they were not talking people would be bitching about that. It's called hollyweird for a reason. It's just entertainment, not a damn documentary
I've been saying this for the longest this generation was the best generation they had honesty and integrity they had morals and they cared about this country well most of most people were good and they cared about other people they didn't care what color you are or what country you came from it's just that you were good I don't mean pretending your a friend and then at night burning a cross in some one yard I mean really good people
Kirby at around 25:00 minutes in...on arrival at the town of Moray,.." every town we've been in has always shown some signs of life ". Bullcorn,..they've been in tons of towns that showed no signs of life.
The German Lt (Cmdr. At The Checkpoint).....TOM PACE. aka "I'm A Ickey Lil' Elf" in MST3K's "The Girl In Gold Boots". He's the main bad guy in the epi. Is Very Regis Philbinny lol"
A great episode. This drama brings up an extremely ugly issue and reality of post WWII: the allies did search out and use ex Nazis for their knowledge (scientific and military), in order to confront the USSR. Man, what a great series.
Yep, Persilscheine and the ironic phrase TAUSCHE NAZI (PAPERS ) GEGEN AMI ( PAPIERE ) In short SWITCH SIDES BECAUSE THE WAR IS LOST AND MY NAZI PAST WILL BE FORGOTTEN. Happened in and after the War often enough
LOL when I was shooting mine in NRA HiPower, there are 10-round strings of rapid fire. You use an aftermarket 2-round clip for the first shots, then try to ogle your target through your spotting scope while you stick an 8-rounder in there without chambering your thumb. They also make 5-round Garand clips for States with restrictions on cartridge capacity for hunting.
Nice episode Guy stands far away and talks loudly so those who shouldnt listen can listen lone german driver drives supplies about but squads of well armed maquis dont loot trucks
I have seen this episode several times and for some reason it just doesn’t appeal to me. I place this on my list of 10 least favorites. Probably, no real action, no Vic Morrow.
If I was a French resistance fighter I'd get an MP40 or Mauser, and possibly a Walter P38 for close combat. It would be easier to re-supply with ammunition when you're fighting and killing Germans.
You should ask someone who had to depend on the Sten for their lives. They jammed all of the time. I've met Brits who could get real worked up over this weapon.
Its comical how this show always depicts the French as ultra brave and coming to the rescue of the Americans when they actually got taken over in 5 minutes and had to get bailed out of 2 world wars by not all but many Americans.
The French resistance groups were made up at times of motley different groups politucally as well. In this episode be marquis were after a colaborator with he Germans. Sometimes the supposed collaborators supplied vital information and intelligence about the German forces that the normal resistance groups could not find out. A very deadly knife edge situation to get oneself into in the intellegence war to fight by spying on the German forces . The British slowed down weapon and ammunition supplies after the invasion to the resistance groups as the politics of resistance cells led to deadly infighting amongst themselves, communist against the conservatives and Gaulists, etc. Not only France, but in Greece also. The most famous collaborator spy was the Frenchman manager who found out information about U Boat activities and passed it onto British intelligence. It was only after the war his true brave efforts were made public, but during the war he was deeply despised by his fellow Frenchman for his collaboration with the German occupation.
More than half of occupied France collaborated with Germans in one way or another….from supplying livestock, farm products, textiles, health issues,…..only after D DAY, did many French reverse their compliance.
This has got to be the best show I’ve ever seen ❤
except the Maqui could have just shot the guy and been done with it at several points in the script.
@@lelandsmith2320 not without a trial.
12 O'clock High is another good series. My Grandfather was in the Army Air Core and was a gunner on a Air fortress.
I was 10 years old when the series came out and of course it was my favourite but how can an immature kid appreciate the depth of this series.Now as an overly mature adult the stories are multi-dimensional and transforming!

"overly mature"...yep. You got me there.

Extraordinarily good showing of the internecine fights within the Maqui. Excellent episode, good acting, marvelous story line.

Kirby: “Now that’s a real Cheri tire reference for ya.” Kirby’s one liners are awesome.
Character reference
" Cheri tire ",...WTF dude? Tell ya' what, let's go with character. I think that spelling thing did a number on you, but we knew what you meant and it's fine.
thank you for providing these videos
My Dad could have easily played the role of Sarge....when I watch the shows I'm really watching my dad....he was the best Marine ...this Marine ever served with... Semper Fi
Thank You for your service Jerry !!!!! Semper Fi !!!!!
I almost said that Robert Loggia was always an asshole. Actualy, he OFTEN times played one. What he was..was one fine actor. A credit to his kraft.
I think he was type cast as a bad guy. A tough street smart guy. Just sayin …
Upvote if you watched this show, Rat Patrol or 12 O'clock High as a kid & went into the Military!
And Rat Patrol and 12 O'clock High.
classic with great story. none may be found now.

Me too! Ha! Ha!
Combat was my favorite show... and then.... I discovered Penny Robinson (Angela Cartwright) on Lost In Space.... boy was my mom relieved!
@@terrykrall Penny gave us all ' fluffies' back in the day!!!!
Robert Loggia has died at age of 85.
Funny they didn't mention his role in combat which he played a wonderful role.
in Tree of Moray.
Yes he was in the credits at the start and at the end :-) Peace
Don't know much about The Marqui, if that's how it's spelled. Anyone up on that? Nevertheless, another splendid adventure with Combat, the greatest tv war series there ever was!
Googled "Marquis, French underground" and came up with this article among others.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquis_(World_War_II)
Maquis
google it
@Legion 57 Only half of them many of them where actually pro de Gaulle although that SOB changed side once elected. In reall history the name of the town was Oradour sur Glane, the village was wiped for helping the maquis
www.oradour.info/
@@georgesslowik7752 NO. They were wiped out by the 2SS on its way to Normandy -- and they, the locals, had no idea about the maquis involved. That's why they all 'refused' to give them up. They really didn't know anything! Only a few Germans were even shot at and hit. The idea was to harass the 2SS -- to delay its arrival. Nothing more. Ironically, by murdering a whole town, the 2SS delayed themselves more than the maquis ever could. In Normandy, the 2SS was chewed up by the US Army.

I sure hope he found the bastard and brought him back to the tree.
This brings back memories, one I remember is the Duel. However even as a kid I thought the Germans should have won at least 1/2 of these fire fights. The attack on the truck here, the canvas nor the truck tail gate would have stopped any of the bullets! By rights all should have been dead in the first 15 seconds at these distances. My Dad loved the show, so I really cant complain ;)
Agreed.....In addition the semi auto Mauser bolt action rifles in most of the series, but I love the production regardless of the Monday night...........
The truck was covered in plot armor, and nothing is more bullet proof than plot armor.

Anyone ever wonder why the bullet holes in the opening of combat are square? A long time ago when I first watched in the '60s I counted 8 of them (which there are and I have always remembered) and assumed it was a reference to the 8 rounds in an M1 Garand clip.
This is the kind of script writing that formed a generation...... society seemed to have lost this
I came here to say that. Great story telling and acting. Alfred has been challenged. All of these series that I have watched in the 1960s show the disparity in production and script writing that has numbed many since.

Sound travels really well over water.
Lt. Hanley pulled this one off ......... just.... splendidly, extraordinaire..... Officer all the way
Gohot229 Lt. Hanley Makes MOST Lt’s Today Look Pretty Bad! Most Lt’s Today Don’t Have What It Takes To Lead A Boy Scout Troop!
No hub
and never drank from the canteen he didn't have..
Sheesh. The size of that posse following them through the woods undetected! Those G.I.'s must be suffering hearing loss.
John Kornegay I’ll bet they did have hearing problems after 1000’s of rounds and grenades. Ever shot a rifle without hearing protection?
They sure don't have it together on stealth or concealment and rarely assign a person to cover the rear flank. They walk around in close formation on ridge-lines and in open spaces. Sheesh!
@@topixfromthetropix1674 Amazing so soon after ww2 that this show would have such consistently lousey tactics.
G I s should know sound travels faster across water than thru a wire as they talked going across that river. LMAO !, Former veteran here.
It travels close to the speed of light on wire, vs 100 feet per second as sound. Army Veteran Broadcast Engineer, here. Wire has a slight propagation delay, when compared to RF delivered signals.
If you are a 'former veteran', how are you posting from your grave?
Robert Loggia also played in an Untouchables episode Colombo episode and in Scarface 1983
And Gunsmoke.
The guys were rock stars🇺🇸
this would be a tough call,the LT was under orders,till they're changed they stand,i'm glad the french resistance was on our side,dad was there he said they fought and died,and he was proud of them,they loved their country too
Did You Know #America That Lt. Hanley Was A Marine Sergeant & Served In WW II! A Real Hero, So He Knew How To Fight!
Well..im sure he was a much better soldier than actor.
NO he wasn't in the Marines, he was army air force and never served in combat. he talked about his military experience in his autobiography.
Thanks for that fact.
Yo veía esa serie

You might be right about that and it's interesting to speculate whether the number of strikes corresponds to the number of rounds in an M1's stripper clip. I always thought that those were artillery shell strikes, especially because of the apparent shell fragment strikes beyond the impact center. The square holes might have been easier to create and replicate, as representations of bullet or shell impacts on a target field.
Its not a stripper clip, enblock clip very much different! Read up a little bit or actually fire a Garand watch your thumb,:P
Hard to believe Rick Jason shot himself in the head and Vic Morrow was decapitated by a helicopter blade on a movie set. I looked them both up on Google. Just tragic.
It's so simple, Lt. Hanley should have locked up all the resistance fighters in the jail, take Etienne with him as he did and give him the jail key when he would arrive at base with Duval.
Simpler solution, they could have just shot the traitor on sight and told the Lt to go home.
Best actors no,doubt !
There were a lot more French men and women who collaborated than the French like to admit. The southern region, where anti-Semitism & sympathy for Fascism were strong, was governed by collaborators from 1940-42. It was known as Vichy France. French police cooperated with the Gestapo in rounding up Jews for deportation and they were very effective and thorough.
There was very little collaboration in the free zone of Vichy France until November of '42, when the Germans occupied the free zone, as they had in the north since '40. Anti_semitism was actually stronger in the North, in Alsace, and in Paris, where most of French jews lived. Many Jews, esp artists and musicians, lived in the free zone, and many tried to leave through the southern ports and the Pyrenées. There were many collaborators, North and South, but deportation in the Free Zone did not occur until after Nov.'42. France was a very divided country since the Dreyfus Affair, which polarized the country into 2 main camps, republican intellectual anti-clerical left, and catho, anti-semite and fascist right, that fought it out at the ballot box, the press, and in the streets in the '30s, with very little will left to fight the Nazis.
Thanks for that, helped me with the complexities after watching a series about France during the war.

In WWII the soldiers were a lot younger than the characters in the show but it's a good show none the less
It's my understanding that the average age of a WW2 soldier was 26. In Viet Nam they were much younger.
Thats right. People seem to forget until it's them. But our country sends our kids to fight a fight they didn't start
That’s why they call it a young man’s war. Their energy is relentless and renews itself everyday. The older you get the more tired you become. That’s explained in 12 o’Clock High’s “Storm at Twilight” episode when an older staff member of Col. Gallagher’s office wanted to be a combat pilot for personal reasons. The other pilots around him were 22 years old on the average.
Good combat
8:00 Not quite a circle back... but it will do. Rule #17 of Major Robert Roger's 28 Standing Orders Rules for even today's Airborne Rangers is as follows...
"If somebody's trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the folks that aim to ambush you." -Former Recondo Sgt. 82nd Abn. 1/504 71-74
Called fishhooking.
be the bear.
I presume everyone here knows sound carries very well over water. So to paddle away at night chit-chatting is not a good idea in Krautland.
Its not just water but night time as well, any sound are enhance by doubled/
Because if they don't talk a little louder the viewers will not be able to hear anything ,you Einstein.
It's a damn tv show, if they were not talking people would be bitching about that. It's called hollyweird for a reason. It's just entertainment, not a damn documentary
Kroutland? I'll have you know that term is offensive to sauerkraut!
So is flashing a light.
Fabulosa serie
At 28:05 the prisoner reaches up and touches his throat when he sees the noose... the rest of the time he is tied up....
I've been saying this for the longest this generation was the best generation they had honesty and integrity they had morals and they cared about this country well most of most people were good and they cared about other people they didn't care what color you are or what country you came from it's just that you were good I don't mean pretending your a friend and then at night burning a cross in some one yard I mean really good people
The Tree of Moray which can never bloom again!
Loved this series as a kid. Does anyone know how they made the sound of the gunfire for the opening ? Today, it sounds like beating something metal?
LOL a frenchman speaking fluent German in a German uniform complete with a french mustache !
That was a good one.
Ze tree will never bloom in Moray again... Ohhh the tragedy of mournful vegetation.
This show has more about the Maquis than any other.
Centuries later the Maquis turn up in Star Trek: The Next Gen
@@paulwilliams6159 Fun Fact: Basically MAQUIS is UNDERWOOD
Kirby at around 25:00 minutes in...on arrival at the town of Moray,.." every town we've been in has always shown some signs of life ". Bullcorn,..they've been in tons of towns that showed no signs of life.
Kirby, master of irony.
Why does this squad, a unit of the regular American army, keep getting missions that would normally only be given to Special forces, lol?
likesmilitaryhistory Alan Moore they're a recon squad.
likesmilitaryhistory Alan Moore They Didn’t Have Special Forces At That Time, Unfortunately For Them!
Its apparent they didn't them.
Because 'Special Mission' episodes were cheaper to make....particularly if shot at night, in the 'fog' and among anonymous trees and bushes
O.S.S. back then. British commandos should have this mission.
Frank: "Please don't shoot me, Tony!"
Tony: "I'm not gonna chute you, Frank. Manolo, chute dis pizza chit."
Manny: "Chure, Tony." (Shoots Frank)
Setting the noose prior to the trial Hillary?
Would a German soldier be allowed to have that mustache?
War often defies logic and rational reasoning
I can't all wars be like this shooting blanks I'm getting up on the cameras turned off
The German Lt (Cmdr. At The Checkpoint).....TOM PACE. aka "I'm A Ickey Lil' Elf" in MST3K's "The Girl In Gold Boots". He's the main bad guy in the epi. Is Very Regis Philbinny lol"
First time I ever seen him as a young man! I don’t know if he is still alive ? He was Frank in Scar face
Robert Loggia aka Etienne. Did not recognize him until you pointed it out.
Thanks 4 putting back on.
Hey it's Feech Lamana!
Frank Lopez
A great episode. This drama brings up an extremely ugly issue and reality of post WWII: the allies did search out and use ex Nazis for their knowledge (scientific and military), in order to confront the USSR. Man, what a great series.
Yep, Persilscheine and the ironic phrase TAUSCHE NAZI (PAPERS ) GEGEN AMI ( PAPIERE )
In short SWITCH SIDES BECAUSE THE WAR IS LOST AND MY NAZI PAST WILL BE FORGOTTEN.
Happened in and after the War often enough

I loved the M1 but I never had one that fired a10 round clip
Special issue. Buy 'em at the same store that carries those 56 shot six shooters in the Westerns.
LOL when I was shooting mine in NRA HiPower, there are 10-round strings of rapid fire. You use an aftermarket 2-round clip for the first shots, then try to ogle your target through your spotting scope while you stick an 8-rounder in there without chambering your thumb. They also make 5-round Garand clips for States with restrictions on cartridge capacity for hunting.
Nice episode
Guy stands far away and talks loudly so those who shouldnt listen can listen
lone german driver drives supplies about but squads of well armed maquis dont loot trucks
That mustache!!!
Complex. Divided loyalties & fear in France, Summer & Autumn, 1944. What a mess.
41:18 It took them about ten seconds to kill all the Jerries in that patrol. Should've just cut them down in the first place.
Good one
I have seen this episode several times and for some reason it just doesn’t appeal to me. I place this on my list of 10 least favorites.
Probably, no real action, no Vic Morrow.
Elsbeth Humphrey I Hate It Too! When They Leave The Real Combat Warrior Sgt. Saunders Out!
Lt. knows not to bring Saunders on a stealth mission. Too many dead krauts in his wake to keep things on the QT.
If I was a French resistance fighter I'd get an MP40 or Mauser, and possibly a Walter P38 for close combat. It would be easier to re-supply with ammunition when you're fighting and killing Germans.
They had a Sten Gun , which has good fire power . But , Yes , you are right , there would not be enough ready ammunition for it .
Sten used same 9mm as the MP40.
You should ask someone who had to depend on the Sten for their lives. They jammed all of the time. I've met Brits who could get real worked up over this weapon.
@@verarapoza198 Indeed yes. A Sten was used in the assassination of SS "Butcher of Prague" Reinhard Heydrich--the weapon jammed.

Bri G. I Too Liked Lt. Hanley! He Was A Good Actor & Made The Show Look Good! Unfortunately, After The Series Ended, He Committed Suicide! :(
@@joshlonewolf4412Not that soon after. Jason was in his late 30s to early 40s when he played Lt Hanley. He was 77 when he decided to end his life.
PS -m Wow! Robert Loggia is sooooo YOuNG. I never really noticed him till the 80s (Prizzi's Honor etc)
He also played Frank in Scarface!!!
I saw him in a western from 1949.

Muy bien la ytelijencia del teniente
Federation Council President from Star Trek IV, Richard Lapham, and Leonard Rosenman.
Its comical how this show always depicts the French as ultra brave and coming to the rescue of the Americans when they actually got taken over in 5 minutes and had to get bailed out of 2 world wars by not all but many Americans.
bro you werent there and yes teh resistance in France was brave
Why are French boulevards tree-lined?
So the Germans can march in the shade.
They had way more collaborators than the French like to admit!
They were not prepared and didn't want their place wrecked.
Por palabras , matan una idea
Can someone tell me if the Lt. is carrying an M-14 ???? If not - what type of rifle is it ?
it is a M-1 carbine 30 cal.
Also known as a Garand
The Garand was the M-1 rifle. The Carbine was the M-1 carbine. Different weapons.
His carbine has a post-war bayonet lug...oh well, Hell machine was an M41 US tank
@@psubs2001 Probably an M2 carbine if he was lucky.
R for Robert Loggia. O for oh my god, that's Robert Loggia....

A "German" private with a mustache ?!?
Hitler?
Hitler was a private with an Austrian "short-stach" in WWI.
Why didn't the American soldiers ever pick up the German machine guns and use them ?
The French resistance groups were made up at times of motley different groups politucally as well. In this episode be marquis were after a colaborator with he Germans. Sometimes the supposed collaborators supplied vital information and intelligence about the German forces that the normal resistance groups could not find out. A very deadly knife edge situation to get oneself into in the intellegence war to fight by spying on the German forces . The British slowed down weapon and ammunition supplies after the invasion to the resistance groups as the politics of resistance cells led to deadly infighting amongst themselves, communist against the conservatives and Gaulists, etc. Not only France, but in Greece also. The most famous collaborator spy was the Frenchman manager who found out information about U Boat activities and passed it onto British intelligence. It was only after the war his true brave efforts were made public, but during the war he was deeply despised by his fellow Frenchman for his collaboration with the German occupation.
More than half of occupied France collaborated with Germans in one way or another….from supplying livestock, farm products, textiles, health issues,…..only after D DAY, did many French reverse their compliance.
