    I was a loyal viewer of this series,when it aired. My combat veteran father (1923-2002) critiqued their tactics and strategy,to my young eager ears. It also became my prime motivation to learn German during my three years of high school (1967-1970) which served me well during my cold war tour of duty in Nuremberg,Germany (1976-1979)

    I watched this as a teenager in the early 60[s. One of my favorite shows and I never missed an episode. So good to relive those days. I always thought it was cool that Saunders always got his helmet back no matter how many times he lost it.

      This comes from the '60s when we still remembered the heroes from WWII and Korean Occupation and the Korean War. The Korean Occupation is largely forgotten. My father was a Hero in 1948-1952 and served 19 years in the Service. My dad, my hero! Karl

    I was 8 years old in 1962 and this was my fist network show I followed. I never missed any and watched them with my dad, a WW II veteran. Interesting never saw these in 50 years and am mesmerized for a 60s show, how good they are and I have watched 20 so far. The Steeple last night. One thing that has not changed in 50 years....Morrow is awesome and I always remembered his Thompson..........and Kirby has a big mouth. Thanks for sharing.

I've always been hugely interested in the airwar over Europe and the Pacific (I think the B-17 is the most beautiful machine humans ever built), and have often thought the ball-turret position to be the most terrifying. They were so exposed, and the mechanism jammed so easily... Anyway, anyone who willingly climbed into one has my highest respect. They all do.

I have been watching all of these videos that you posted and sometimes, it takes me several hours to watch one episode because I get so nervous! Thanks so much for posting these videos. I believe that Vic Morrow is my favorite actor of all time now. Rest in Peace, Sergeant Saunders.

    THE STORY ABOUT SEARGENT STEELE hanging in Saint Mère Eglise from the Belle Tower had made it´s way into the COMBAT ! scripts. After all Ryan had written his famous War Event description in 1959 and his book was from the start the talk of the town. But modern Historians have found out that even if Sergeant Steels parashoot got stuck he got dowon much faster as shown in the movie THE LONGEST DAY.
    After all Ryan had written his book from the viewpoint as a famous War Correspondent, so he was not bound to an exact Historical Description and could take poetic liberties.
    Most folks nowdays forget that he had been after all a Press Man and not a Historian.
    Still the anecdote about him is a famous story and to his hooner there hangs nowdays a puppet were he got stuck at the tower in Normandy

Fast forward, The town has a big museum dedicated to the 101st. There is a parachute and dummy hanging from the church steeple. They also have a big holiday of rememberance in the town.

      Which is the German paratrooper was attached to his chute by a shingle line which enabled him to hold a machine gun to be able to defend himself on the way down.
      By doing so the ability to direct his decent was sacrificed, But the defence aspect proved on many occasions to be deadly effective.

      The reason for that was by the way that was the longest day, Was because it was an actual event during the D~ Day Landings a member of the 82nd airborne paratroopers Private John M Steele got caught on the steeple of the Church Sainte~Ere~Eglise. Because the Village was filled with Germans he had to play dead for Two hours till he could be rescued By of all people the Germans.

    C-4 is a common variety of the plastic explosive family known as Composition C. A similar British plastic explosive, based on RDX but with different plasticizer than Composition C-4, is known as PE-4 (Plastic Explosive No. 4). C-4 is composed of explosives, plastic binder, plasticizer to make it malleable, and usually a marker or odorizing taggant chemical.
    C-4 has a texture similar to modeling clay and can be molded into any desired shape. C-4 is stable and an explosion can only be initiated by a shock wave from a detonator.

    Joel Davidsmeyer finds fault with many episodes. He writes,"Why doesn't the bell ring when four soldiers climb down the bell rope?"
    This is because Cage and Kirby are holding the rope, adding tension, right?

    I was just watching this on my Android and switched to my laptop. I have a degree in Physics and understand electromagnetism, but it still blows my mind how I can switch devices and what I am watching starts at the same place it left off on the second device.

    Glad this TV series treats Germans as 3 dimensional, instead of pieces of cardboard. Wehrmacht was smart & dangerous as hell. Fighting withdrawal & counter attack. Real heart attack.

      You noticed that too. Cage should have just hung on to the rope and they would have just met the Priest earlier.

      Morrow had a short right index finger. They tried to not highlight that, so maybe that's why. But, they could've just about as easily shot his left profile. Unless that wasn't his "good side."

    I was surprised that the paratrooper could even hang on to the rope to slid down.

    • @rogerlynch5279
      @rogerlynch5279 3 роки тому

      Truce is, they never hang that long because the silken materal was not stable enough for that.
      so the idea having a soldier hanging at a church steeple for so long is a myth
      That is one point were it showed that Cornelius Rayan ( THE LONGEST DAY ) was really more a newspaper man earger putting some unproved anecdotes into his book. And no he had been not a University trained Historian as many believe.

    The same make believe town was used in many episodes. The GIs and Germans keep taking it back from each other. The same scenario was written up in, "Night Drop" , a history of the 101st and 82nd airborne troops during D Day. The two combatants took and retook a church 4 to 5 times. The medics from both sides stayed in one end of the church and took care of the wounded no mater what uniform they wore.

    @Jeff Jellifer Wrong. The actual paratrooper was a Pvt. John Steele from the 82nd Airborne Division & his unit not the 101st on the village of Sainte Mere Eglise!!!!!!! If you don't believe me, do a Google search or watch the movie "The Longest Day".!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
