"Tell Mom I'm a little tired of the chocolate chip cookies". LOL! Good lines in this script!
I watched this on TV in South Korea 50 years ago. I was wating for each episode then. I am really glad to watch this great one again! Thank you!!
I remember watching this when it originally aired in '63, one of the best episodes of Combat.
Greetings from America. Thank you for giving us these great episodes of a real TV classic.
"grocery clerk!", great line, Richard Basehart is fantastic in this double header episode,great closing dialogue between Saunders & Hanley, the de bunking of the "superman myth"!
This was the BEST episode of Combat EVER!!!
The two parts together are certainly up there in the top 5 episodes.
I have such a list of TOP EPISODES it has become a long blur ;
This is TV show from the 60s that actually holds up. Quite well.
This is one of the best episodes I've seen so far.
An excellent double-header that got the best of every actor in the series. It rivaled some of the great WW2 escape movies too.
Thanks for uploading Combat! Loved it as a kid. Too bad tge MGM backlot that had the french town got bulldozed but I recognize Franklyn Canyon by Beverly Hills where they shot this one. Still love it. Jack Hogan (Kirby) is the only one of the cast still living. "Caje" passed in 2014. R.I.P. Vick, Rick, Dick, and Pierre!
Nope, Tom Lowell is still kicking too. (Nelson)
Billy Nelson still alive as well as doc and kirby!!!
THE FIGHTING SPIRIT OF OUR BEST MEN FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR TO NOW,GOD BLESS ALL WHO SERVED IN UNIFORM,THANKS FOR OUR FREEDOM
I used to watch this all the time as a kid, sometimes with my Dad, who fought in that war and in Korea. We used to have fun picking apart some episodes. Like where a German would run out from cover and get shot. He told me that German soldiers weren't that stupid and were damn good soldiers. He thought ole Sarge did a great job and he knew some Sergeants just like Morrow had portrayed. These shows are still captivating.
In one episode, a German Officer posed as a priest, where LittleJohn told him that Germans were smart.
I can't remember the episode and the name of the guest star escapes me, even though I clearly see his face.
I believe many American soldiers respected the Germans as capable fighters and thinkers.
I agree with your Dad. Two episodes stand out strongly qualifying his point: The Duel and Anatomy of a Patrol.
COMBAT is Excellent🤩🤩 May 2023
Thanks for posting, I am enjoying the series.
@@alicel3992 James Whitmore was the 'priest' and did a great job! It was funny how he was incessantly bothered by Americans when he was trying to just blow up the bridge. Anatomy of a Patrol had James Caan in one of his first roles. You can tell even them what a great actor he was as well. I still watch it, as most of the rest of the stuff on TV is garbage. I haven't had cable or satellite in years. I watch my favorite DVD's or use YT which is free on my TV. Take care

Thank you, it was James Whitmore😀 Great memory.
I fired direct tv 20 plus years ago bc my young daughter and I were watching a family show BUT the commercials were obscene. I called and complained but was told they can't do anything about it. So I took action and have never regretted it. I agree, DVDS and Utube are the way to go.
Thanks for uploading COMBAT, I love this show😍🤩
Watched this as a 9year old still enjoying it at 68😊
What an Episode man what an Episode!🌟💯
Thank you for showing this episode .this was great.
Actor Richard Basehart (Admiral Nelson from Seaview). He would have been 103 years old on September 17th, 2017. A very realistic actor who played his characters' to the hilt. Lost him much too soon in 1984 after the LA Olympics. Always a tribute to see his line of work. Bless him always.....RMA; Bakersfield, CA....
He also portrayed Adolf Hitler in a movie about Hitler. I think it was in 1960 when the movie was released. I watched it on TV many years ago. Sometime in the early mid 70's I think.
Dive !! Dive !! Dive !!
check out his role in 'time limit' with richard widmark about korean war and being a prisoner...
@@undergroundwarrior70 Any idea the name of the movie?
18:16"But it is that you give the impression you're the brain of a jackass"
"My name is jackass. My serial number is -"
..Priceless.. Just priceless.. XD Kirby.. Never change
This is one of the episodes that really just puts a tear in your eye. The courage and spirit exhibited...of those who went through somewhat similar situations in WW2 is worthy of such expression, but also the level of writing of this episode, that quite frankly should have won an award, along with the brilliance of the directing, and acting of Vic Morrow, Rick Jason, Jack Hogan, Dick Peabody, Pierre Jalbert, Tom Lowell, Conlan Carter, and with some stellar starring roles of Richard Basehart, James Sikking and Simon Oakland..
I wish they all had gotten awards but no. They give it to people with no talent that's why I never watch AWARD shows,they are so repetitive same talentless people win!

Here ... here... totally 100 percent agree with your comment.

Loved watching Combat when I was a kid - having a good time seeing it again.
If this is one of the better épisodes (and I too think it is), it is because it gives more room to secondary players besides the "Kommandant" played by Richard Basehart. Yes, through very clever gerrymandering inspired by Sergeant Saunders (Vic Morrow) thanks to his own thinking through the problem, they escape. Still the secondary players here, I believe, deserve some mention.First off, the other sergeant played by Isidor Simon Weiss (Oakland) He originally started off his career as a concert violinist. His cinematic contributions include: "Psycho", West Side Story", "Tony Rome", " The Sand Pebbles". After a long struggle against cancer, Simon left us in 1983 at the relatively young age of 68. Next in line has to be: Woodrow Parfrey; born of Welsh immigrants. Incidentally Woodrow, fought, was wounded and captured by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge which may explain in part how Woodrow brought an offbeat, quirky charisma that was relatively unknown in either TV or cinema rôles before the 1960's and in this part as the pathetic grocer is no exception. Almost an anti-hero here who claims his share of heroism at the very end. Woodrrow put in many TV and movie appearances from the 60' and just into the 1980's: "Papillon", in a couple of Clint Eastwood productions; "Dirty Harry", " The Outlaw Josey Wales". Woodrow left us in 1984 at the young age of 61 from a heart attack. Glenn Canon (Rankin) played in at least 5 épisodes of Combat, many other TV séries such as " 77 Sunset Strip" , " Hawaii 5- O," "Magnum P.I. plus many other TV séries and TV movies. Glenn left us in 2013 at the age of 80 of undisclosed causes. Next, Arthur Batanides (Nader): Arthur did stand up routines in front of fellow G.I.s in Europe during WWII.He played in a few épisodes of Star Trek (original séries), the Twilight Zone, the Time Tunnel, Mission Impossible or in a spoof of it in Get Smart. After playing in Police Academy 6, Arthur retired from acting in 1989. Arthur left us in 2000 at the of 76 of natural causes. Finally, on this roster, James Sikking who here plays Lyles, is perhaps best known for his rôle in Hill Street Blues. He played in the 60's soap opera, General Hosptial for a few years. "The New Centurions". After Hill Street Blues he returned more strongly to the cinema in: "Ordinary People", "StarTrek III", The Search for Spock". Ending the '90's with "Brooklyn South" and his last movie in the new millenium, "Just an American". Born in 1934, as of this writing, James is still with us. Merci pour le téléchargement!
Thanks for the history...lots if talent here. Many are gone but not forgotten.
The same words keep coming up in my mind every time I see an episode of Combat-- magnificent, superb, brilliant...

thank you very much for a warm welcome! enjoy watching combat, as i enjoy watching it too. to all combatants hello!
Ol' Steiner can make fun of the grocery clerk all he wants. It would have blown his mind to know that Saunders sold shoes.
Vic morrow really give a huge impact on combat as sarge Saunders Twenty people were sitting down and chatting one of them said vi'c morrow show is next all just keep still This time he said Sargent Saunders from combat All of them ran and glued to the TV Its shows how is Saunders impact on combat
Stringing out the wire! Genius, that actually could work! McGuyver eat ya heart out!!😎
Dancing Dog Films haha I was thinking they needed McGyver!!!
Hy
"OK, I quit! Gotta go home, Combat is coming on!" Thank you so much GR.
Saunders...great pistol shots from the hip.
I LOVED COMBAT IN THE 60'S AND I LOVE IT NOW IN 2020...GREAT ACTION.....
Anyone else notice the 1960s era commercial van go whizzing just past the one German guard threatening Saunders at the 13:30 mark??!! Time travel too on Combat!! This show continues to amaze!! Jim C.
I wish I had car insurance, but as of June ‘22 fuel is almost $5.00/ gallon. I tuned
in to see how men move on the ground, but sure saw the white van flash by outside the fence above. Bicycle a welcome alternative, and glad truck gathered
our guys for escape.
haha YES! I just pointed that out! Then I talked about 2 other movies I saw that happen in, check out my post .. the movies were CUSTER OF THE WEST with Slim Pickens and ROBIN HOOD with Errol Flynn .
Yes as he says "get back idiot" a van goes by on the set road. Thes scene must have been filmed in Los Angeles studios.
thanks for posting this tv series, i remember when i was a kid i never miss a single episode. honestly, i feel like younger again, because i still feel the excitement for a kid watching war series like this.so thanks again, i from the philippines!
The present-day Chinese do not realize how much fighting the Filipinos did against the much larger Japanese army during the early part of World War 2, much like what the Ukrainian people are doing now. Most of the American army stationed in the Philippines at the beginning of the Pacific war was actually 75% Filipino!
Awesome couple of episodes 👍
Maybe she could send along a little fruit cake.
Very well acted... made me laugh even tho I knew it was coming.
Wow!
51 years ago when this premiered .. .I was 12 years old and never missed a show!
Denny Grimes I’m 67 now...was 11 in 1963.
When the 'grocery clerk' shoots Steiner...I swear I heard a P.A. system saying, "Clean-up on aisle 5..."
A fantastic prison break, brilliant.
Hogan Heroes classic
💪👏👏👏 Good show Sgt Saunders.
Sergeant Saunders is like a Timex watch: He takes a licken and keeps on ticken!
You sir, ain't no youngster, as I. A commercial from our youth, lol.
Thanks for posting Part 2. A local TV station aired Part 1 a week ago but never aired Part 2 and I was dying to see how it turned out. I remember watching Combat! when I was a boy. What a great show!! Again, thank you so much for putting this on UA-cam.
how does it always turn out? all injuries and mental torture wiped clean in the next episode...
I like the doc's little speech
Simon Oakland. Great actors in this episode.
Sergeant, let's go drink to friends. Nuff said.
I remember Richard Basehart from Voyage to the bottom of the Sea.
Whatever happened to Vic Morrow in combat they need to put this back on me TV instead of stupid Charlie's Angels that's worth watching
DEFINITELY!!!
I completely agree.
Vic Morrow was killed on set when a helicopter struck him and his head was chopped off many years ago now.
Vic Morrow was killed in the early 1980s filming The Twilight Zone movie.
@@markfetherman6593along with two children actors in a helicopter accident
Never underestimate your enemy...let's go drink to friends...
Best written series ever...
Woodrow Parfey excelled in those "weasel" roles, usually as criminals and was often seen on TV show "Streets of San Francisco" in the 70's...
And the 'peddler' in "The Outlaw Josey Wales".
the only time I faked being sick so I wouldn't have to go to school was to watch combat!!! 4th grade 1976!!!!!!
Good move!!!
Simon Oakland and Woodrow parfrey were great
i am 10 years old,never missed every week at 8.30p.m..my favrte tv show
Kirby..'my name is Jackass' ...lol
Yes, I laughed so hard I almost choked an cookie I was eati
ng.
He's still alive btw..
Again, I also thank you for posting these--I last saw them back then, in the 1960's, when they were prime-time . My father--and virtually all the adult men I knew--were GI's in WW2. I grew up with a deep respect for their contribution, and Combat! was a first-rate (and popular) TV show. I often asked if it was really like that, and my father would chuckle and say "sometimes..", enigmatically. As for the viewers who argue that the Wehrmacht were soldiers like most others, that certainly can't be applied to the SS--including the Waffen SS--who were Nazis first and foremost.
No it is not a lie. It is a statement of fact.
you lack of knowledge is apparent...there many different kinds of so-called SS ..the front line units were like green berets but you also had rear echelon MF's who were not good...but none were as bad monsters compared to stalins mongolian rapists who followed his front line soldiers and destroyed what was left of germany...or eisenhowers death camps rhine meadows
peter okeefe - Nazi apologist. The SS - all of them - swore allegiance to Hitler, not to Germany. They were the nastiest bunch of killers that existed.
Most of the were recruited from the dregs of human society and enjoyed killing and torture. Try asking anyone who actually lived there at that time.
I am over 70 and have not merely studied history but lived it. Of course it is the victors that write history and one must always take any statement - from either side - with a lot of salt, but facts are facts. The Nazis themselves kept records and took photos which are all available to any interested party. The Russians are a different subject altogether and you cannot defend the Nazis by bringing in the Russians. As for Nazi evil - try reading Mein Kampf.
I am very happy to meet a fellow older warrior...do you live in america? when did you serve? we can agree that we disagree...after witnessing MSM attempt at twisting vietnam into something it was not and being present in tower 2 on 911 I have a healthy respect for the nonsense pushed on TV and the false history taught...when did you serve?
"Grocery Clerk" == Well, that grocery clerk just got the best of you . . .
I'm not being lied to about life loss from this show.
what a difference watching this at 65 compared to 10 ...
Same here. When I was a kid, it was all about the shooting, stuff being blown up. Now at 70, there is a morel to every show.
Vic Morrow
my favorite actor ever
good man. what a shame to lose him.
VIC MORROW,RIGHT UP THERE IN COOL WITH STEVE MCQUEEN,DAMN WHAT A SERIES,BEST SHOW ON TV THEN AND BEST SHOW ON UA-cam
Brutal communication.....understand the assignment of Responsiblity 🇺🇸
I still have my combat play set
This just goes to show even in difficult circumstances you can still come out smelling like a rose with a plan
FYI 12-12-21: Vic Morrow 2-14-29 to 7-23-82, Rick Jason 5-21-23 to 10-16-2000, Jack Hogan 11-25-29 alive, Pierre Jalbert 1-9-25 to 1-22-14, Tom Lowell 1-17-41 alive, Dick Peabody 4-6-25 to 12-27-99, Conlan Carter 10-3-34 alive. .
Baseheart was perfect for this part. Cold, calculating with no wide variety of emotion.
Brilliant writing!!!!!
After Doc's rejoinder to threats of "how severe pain can be" - there's a terrific example 1960's television's depth: the commandant sits in the very chair Doc sat in - as he "ripped thier masks off" - an acknowledgement of the Doc's adroit perspicacity.
KIRBY FOR THE WIN
To avoid a beating, I would of at least made something up as to the troup stength of the American forces, and where, as to satisfy the interigation of the German comandant. It would at least stall for time while Saunders and company plans for an escape.
Great concluding episode
toast to all who served..
Did anyone else notice the car flying past in the background at 13.29?
Ha,ha,ha,ha; they must've filmed this just off Mulholland Drive...
Ron Pearlmann I've seen airplanes in old westerns.lol
Rest ing There is a yellow schoolbus in the background of The Cowboys starring John Wayne.
that was very observant,thanks.i looked again.good eye.
Nah. That ol' slight of hand got me. Comrad does (or did) love die Amerikanishen cigaretten. Made a couple of friends in East Berlin with the good old American Marlboro (1981).
No possibility of it being a military truck......?????? ........ otherwise, it looked like a van driving past. Somebody messed up.
It is the war drama which was being looked forward to when I was young.
I like the United States very much.
Very very regrettable as one people of Japan which warred with the people of this country.
Americans are humane and likable.
I want you to translate in Japanese by all means next time.
Kuro...So lets do lunch ;
Thank you.
How does Capt. Steiner know that it was Caje that hit the guard? Someone must have informed!!
That guy who stands by the fence is a 🐀
Always a cheese eater in the bunch.
Some of that shooting Sgt Saunders did with a pistol at relatively long range of at least 50 feet was quite remarkable. He was a real marksman.
while running with a bad eye...
.
Thought the grocery clerk would make it but he checked out.
Funny
d hart should have bagged it ;)
He had to go... clean up on isle three!
Is it better to die on your feet than live on your knees?
It is.
Thanks for posting. Something interesting occurred at about 13 minutes 30 seconds point. A blooper- an modern automobile passed behind the German Guard watching Sgt Saunders. But still a good episode.
It's Kirby that gets it. I would have to do that covert for real! I've only seen it in military exercise. After all that screaming got the attrition busted down to a slap!
I’m surprised them Germans playing soccer ⚽️ didn’t chase after billy.
13:28 look behind the guard. an auto from the future driving by (GET BACK IN DE OLD)
yeah LOL
Today most people don’t even know what a cello is.
Now I know where Andrew Dice Clay learned to light a cigarette...Saunders @35:00
If you look closely at scene 13:23 over the German guards right shoulder you can see in the back ground street traffic going by.
jajajajja yes minute 13;28 trafic
Hi, yes, maybe it's an Autobahn...
Ja ja
Extremely clever escape plan!
A.C. or D.C. voltage? Europe is 240volts. not sure if ac or dc. but i think it is ac. 120volts has more of an effect of freezing your muscles. 240volts hits harder, has more of a tendacity to knock you off. the US is a 60HZ while Europe is 50hz i think.
Most likely AC. And it's not the volts, it's the amps that kill you.
Start watching at 13:25 look behind the German solider.. a car clearly goes by. I thought they were in a forest or something? Also they might say it was a military car etc, but it did not look like one to me, judging by the roof. A clear goof. But otherwise a great show and episode. Reminded me of 2 other movies I saw. one was named Custer of the West .. you see the US Calvary pinned down by a creek and as the 2 men go down and put markers to estimate the shotguns the Indians are using, the ride back up. Clearly you see the sun reflecting on the windshield of a car behind them on a road up there. another movie this happened was ROBIN HOOD with Errol Flynn. Fantastic movie if you never saw it.. really puts you in the mood for medieval days. Some scene you see as Robin Hood and his man are in the forest, a car clearly drives by in the background, fairly close. It was filmed in California , representing Nottingham. again great movie, but you always see such things in films.
James Sikking Howard from "Hill St. Blues"...
Yeah, noticed him in the previous epi. "That face sure looks familiar..." It's kind of a game I play with these old shows - Spot the bit player who later became a big name. This show and Peter Gunn have a ton.
Addendum to my last post regarding Actor Richard Basehart died on September 17th, 1984. His 103rd, birthday was August 31st, 2017. I stand Corrected. RMA.....
It is an old saying:"They Just Don't Make Em Like This Anymore." Hollywood has gone down hill!
Richard Basehart....."Watch him! He's a smart cookie! A smart cookie!"
You should have most of the guys will agree with me to bring back the Rat Patrol combat 12 o clock High
1 of the most nicest episodes.
Anybody can be made to talk. Not through physical torture necessarily, but given the power over someone and enough TIME anyone can be forced to talk. A tortured man will too often lie and the information may be useless. Psychological methods work far better than physical torture and gets better results (the truth). A bunch of E-2's, E-3's and two E-5's don't possess enough Strategic information to even bother with. They should talk sparingly in trade for some comforts and humane treatment.
If you talk about psychological pressure/means of persuasion, then you should be aware that under such circumstances one cannot talk "sparingly". Once a person 'breaks' the hole cannot be closed again - it get bigger and bigger, more and more info is poured out until everything that person may know is given away.
'The grocery clerk killed the superman'....that was America in WW2
Yep, sheilak. I've never been to war myself, but I can imagine how it happens. I'll defer to those who have been to war for a final answer.
great fight sceen I would think basehaert would have overpowed him some other way but the eye rake was a great fight sceen. how do they shoot the fight sceen anyone know. I saw his fingers were up high. over his eye. love these 2 shows.
I was thinking when they were getting into the back of the truck, seems like the other guys would pick up the guard(s) rifle(s)?
I thought Doc was an Army medic not a Navy corpsman.
The German officer called him a corpsman.
No wonder the Krauts lost the war.
+jerry j they were evil!
" Grocery Clerk " the final words
Basehart must have been a superman...it took 3 shots from that Luger to kill him.
James sikking. Hill street blues.
