I can emphatise with the comments. I was 9 years old in 1963 and simply adored the series. Now as a 66 I see why I was so taken with it. Combat is simply the best war series ever made. It is also a very insightful study of men at war and civilians caught in between. The character studies are brilliant. Great acting, and profound screenplay writing define this in-depth depiction of a sadly lost narrative in which America showed its greatness. I am Irish living in the Republic of Ireland. And yes we had this outstanding series on our TV screens in the 1960's here Very sad to reflect on the tragic fate of Vic Morrow. And the fact that most of these unforgettable actors are now no longer with us. But they live on in our minds and hearts.
Our lives are short, we're not here long. I am also part Irish, born in the states. I think out of the squad only Kirby and Doc is still alive. Happy soon March 17th Paddy's Day mate!
I was 7 when it started, and couldn't wait for it to come on TV every Tuesday night at 8pm I believe! Next day we would play army outside with neighborhood kids! Best times of my life!
I used to watch combat when I was a child. But my dad wouldn’t he‘d say been there done that. He was in the second wave at Omaha. Pop spoke French and German his parents immigrated from Germany long before WWI.
If your TV system gets the Heroes & Icons channel, they rerun Combat! Black Sheep Twelve O'Clock High Rat Patrol Tour of Duty etc on Saturdays and The Unit on Tuesdays.
Esta serie es muy buena. Les recomiendo porque enseña valores importantes que se pueden aplicar en la vida diaria. Muchas gracias por subir esta serie.
Peter Whitney, not yet big enough for "guest star" billing as of this 1963 air date but what a great character actor. He had been on "The Rifleman" six or so times and takes on whatever persona you ask for...hero, coward, dumber than a brick hillbilly etc. Great job.
very good information, indeed, he was very good, you can tell because even if both characters are different, also the actor gets in character so well you don't realise it is the same person actually. Greetings
There are repeated scenes with German tanks and armor in a giant traffic jam that are actual photos of German troops invading France but stalled in a traffic jam for days. The French general refused to believe reports and figured Germany would not attack so far North but would attack the main French defense line. Despite France having the largest modern air force, 70% of planes were not immediately ready to attack. Other scenes showing German motor units driving up hills are repeated. The mix of war film and Hollywood film is interesting.
I really love these shows along with " Have Gun Will Travel " , " The Untouchables " with Robert Stack . They remind me of better times maybe not for the country but for myself . watching these that were brand new , at that time , having a friend or two playing with a box of soldiers and sometimes with my Lionel train , capturing the station , pretending to blow the bridge or tunnel . I'm thankful to whom ever found and posted these . But for the person ( S ) who just can't leave a good thing alone and has to tell everybody the entire show bolw by blow and tries to ruin a good time , I say this to you , " KISS MY SHINY HIP REPLASEMENT !!!!! " JERK
I like the Rick Jason episodes. (In particular.) Vic Morrow is awesome, of course, but it's nice to spend more time with Jason sometimes, as well. (I mean, he IS credited at the opening of the show right along with Morrow as well anyway lol so, it's only appropriate to expect an episode every so often centered around Rick Jason, more primarily.) 👍
We lived too far out for TV. For years we had a radio that could "patch" into the telephone system because there were no telephone lines out were we lived. We did have electricity. So, I never saw these shows until many years after they were made. I like them, some of them at least. They're entertaining.
One of the best TV shows ever. They tried for authenticity with the German's speaking in German and the French speaking in French. That was the best part of it. Unfortunatley, this,and other episodes, show them fighting in mountains. There were no mountains anywhere near Normandy or the rest of the area of France they moved through. Sadly the series jumped the shark when it went color. It woke you up to the fact that it was all filmed in California and looked nothing like that area of France.
some times it takes a madman to solve a problem,some times it just takes man that's mad,this was pretty good show,notice how CAJE jumps around on those rocks like he is at home,excellent cast selection,thx for the upload COMBAT ROCKS
I'm thinking about showing "Combat", "The Rat Patrol" and some other WWII tv shows to my university students next summer session here on Taiwan. I always cover the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as they happened in August. Time to write up some worksheets.
I watched this show when I was 10 years-old and loved it.. I don't have to wait until 2:00 am. now to watch it on tv. Did anyone notice the coffee cup left on the running board of the truck around 20:12...I guess it was overlooked. Anyway, I love Combat.
I love both those too.. although I'm 37 and ovcoarse wasn't around when they were on..but tv these days is absolute crap..I really love war shows and movies
Because the producers were too cheap to continue, that's why it went off the air. Shame in the suits above for doing that. Combat should have had a 6th season to close!!!!
Popularity rises and sinks and rises again. Season 5 was aired in 1966-67, a year after the Tet offensive in Viet Nam. The country was getting sick of war. The U.S. was on the brink of the disastrous year of 1968. Everything has its time, and its end.
I heard at the time that because The Vietnam War was ramping up and the start of body bags were coming home. The timing of the discontinued series dove tails this 1966.
Dave C They were finicky at best. Obstructions and weather limited them. Three miles with the hand held and ten maybe a little more with the 35 pound backpack radio set. That is why direct line ground cable was preferred but cables could be cut.
He said, " The most interesting in this episode is the truck gkazozen. a popular modification of the time, the absence of liquid fuels for on-site production of fuel gas from wood, which is then fed to conventional internal combustion engines. something similar to the current autogas ..."
Thunder from the Hill, an effective live free or die avalanche strategy against this snake venom Nazi take over today. Thank you for posting the best show ever, Combat, power packed with profound patriotic inspiration to keep us going and to not give up.
It is the Khazarian Kabal, the group the Nazis fought against to their last breath, that has taken over our society. They were doing the same social rot ops in Germany in the 1920s before the Nazi government was voted in.

@@edbecka233The engine was called a Korting Engine. It utilized burning heavy oils to create a vapor that would be compressed similar to a Diesel engine and ignited under compression and this yielding power. The German U-boots from the early days of WW I used them but not for long as they switched to Diesel engines early on to avoid the dirtyness of the Korting Engine and increase the power of the Engine. It was a good engine but the Diesel was better. I remember watching old news reels in the 1960s showing the Korting Engine in U-Boots and how dirty they were. One can easily see why the Diesels won out in the end though burning Cosomoline grease had a peculiarly pleasant smell.
Mrfrenchdeux yes it has a sling, across the back, would play hell on one shoulder remember 20 pounds. Watch Kirby wipe his nose with left hand and you can see the strap. You really should have known,lol.
Don't know. I used to love the swivel handle on my M60 though. Carried it in Korea for a year or so until I got promoted. Then I got to carry an M3 grease gun. Only place I saw them and I was in the Army 23 years. The 1SG was always asking "who wants to go to the range today?". I always volunteered my section. 11 men and I'd take a few from motor maintenance so we could borrow their 50 cal. No restrictions, just me and guys cutting loose at the range. We even got to shoot our M203 grenade launchers from the M16's. My soldier's loved me. Who wouldn't want a day to screw off at the range and sling lead? Beat the monotony of alerts and other crap. I was with 2nd Infantry Division Artillery in Korea from 82 - 85 on a one year tour. Met my wife 😎
I always thought the same way, make Caje a corporal and asst squad leader, give the BAR to Littlejohn, who would be a PFC, and make Kirby his ammo bearer (which wore a similar magazine belt to the BAR Gunner, but without the Walking Fire brace riveted to the belt). The belt had six pockets and held 12 BAR magazines, making their basic combat load a total of 500 rounds of .30-06 including the magazine in the BAR. Extra loaded mags and boxed or belted (or even bandos of clipped) .30-06 ammo would have been in both their rucks. Then again Kirby was more of a maniac than any of the others, and he was really infatuated with the BAR, so...
They start off with 4 Americans and 5 French men then at 29:47 there are 6 men yet 4 of the french men are dead or ran off and then at 30:00 they are back to only 5 men. Someone forgot to keep track of the bodies.
@@blondbowler8776 Two other commenters above have said this was a conversion for running on wood gas. One of those commenters said engines fueled that way were "dodgy at best" (I think those were his words).
That's a gasification system to cook flammable vapor out of wood. It's not steam. The wood vapor was fed to a carburetor-like system on the engine which ran on the vapor as do natural gas/propane fed engines now.
Unbelievable three of them take out 2 boxes of explosives 🧨. And there’s little John the bigger one out of all of them. He carry’s just one box. Hahaha 🤣
That opening scene made me think. If America was occupied by the British, and the French came to save us.. you're an American civilian leading a patrol of French soldiers to an American officer. You find a local American bringing a cart full of goods - goods bordering on luxury items given the war and the suffering - in the general direction of a British camp. You know some Americans are openly working with the British.. what do YOU do? I say the old man made the right call, all the way down. And best yet that he nabbed the kippers. Always need portable food. If not today, then tomorrow.
I love it when the Lt. Leads a patrol. We need more of that.

They also had an episode about an avalanche that buried a German column.

“Wood gasification system”. Burning the wood made flammable fumes that were inhaled by the engine for compression & reburning.

LT: 2kia, 5 trucks Sgt: Caje:4kia Kirby: LJ: 1kia
Good one
They start off with 4 Americans and 5 French men then at 29:47 there are 6 men yet 4 of the french men are dead or ran off and then at 30:00 they are back to only 5 men. Someone forgot to keep track of the bodies.
9:55 Is it just me, is the truck on fire, or is there a wood-burning stove underneath the cab of the truck?
When the truck broke down in daylight you can see it is a stove. I was scratching my head on that one.
Converted to steam. Gas was in short supply. Steam conversions were common, just another note of authenticity.
@@blondbowler8776 Two other commenters above have said this was a conversion for running on wood gas. One of those commenters said engines fueled that way were "dodgy at best" (I think those were his words).
That's a gasification system to cook flammable vapor out of wood. It's not steam. The wood vapor was fed to a carburetor-like system on the engine which ran on the vapor as do natural gas/propane fed engines now.
I kept a lookout for the 'Hollywood' sign, lol!
虽然不听不懂英语，但是且很怀念这套小时候看过的戏，蛮好看的。谢谢上传
9 men and you are only going to keep one pigeon! There in a cage just take all of them.
Let the horse loose.
Or eat it
I agree
Those hills really look like So Calif. in the summer
That's because a lot of it was filmed in SoCal.
It's a good trade. Later, they filmed spaghetti westerns in Italy, Spain, and France!😎
Two of the actors in this also had parts in "The Untouchables'
Unbelievable three of them take out 2 boxes of explosives 🧨. And there’s little John the bigger one out of all of them. He carry’s just one box. Hahaha 🤣
Somewhat interesting that Rick Jason has no " real " Wikipedfia page and seems to be connected as an actor only to this show
look again i found it.... richard jacobson...
@@direwolf6234 Thanks, also under his reel name not the artist´s one
Cool the truck runs on producer gas from wood or what ever would burn.
The producers took literary license, these wood fueled trucks were slow and dodgy as he11.
I admired the Frenchman for his thinking that he more valued his mission than his life.
I have 2 questions if anyone can answer them. 1. What episode did the second Doc appear? 2. What episode did Kirby get his BAR?
start of season 2
That opening scene made me think. If America was occupied by the British, and the French came to save us.. you're an American civilian leading a patrol of French soldiers to an American officer. You find a local American bringing a cart full of goods - goods bordering on luxury items given the war and the suffering - in the general direction of a British camp. You know some Americans are openly working with the British.. what do YOU do?
I say the old man made the right call, all the way down. And best yet that he nabbed the kippers. Always need portable food. If not today, then tomorrow.
the gorn would have survived the rockslide unlike the germans
True but the Captain later would take care of that...
VERY GOD COMBAD BRAVO
I think it's funny that the producers of this show could try to have a mountain in the Mojave desert double as a mountain in France
I think most of scenes for the series was shot in northern California as it has the same landscape as France.
how about the animal that waws left on the road tethered to a cart
+BOYCOTT PC thats what i was thinking
Yea....poor mule. Don't worry, with the food shortage, someone will come along and be grateful to have a mule, cart and all that food.
