“See you in the cemetery” a great memorable line. I’ve loved Combat and 12 O’clock High since I was a kid watching these old tv shows. As a kid we played Combat, made rifles out of wood and learned to “flank em” from watching Sgt Saunders in Combat. Great quality tv shows from when I was a kid. 😆🇺🇸👍🏼
One thing about this show, it depicts the hedgerow fighting somewhat accurate! My grandpa was a medic in the 82nd airborne div. And jumped into normandy 6/6/1944(dday). He didn't want to reminisce about that battle; saw both german and american soldiers kia. He said the whole deal was CRAZY !
Watched this show every week along with 12 O’clock High ,all the neighborhood boys wold play Army have dirt clod fight’s blowing up each other’s head quarter’s. Then I went too Vietnam reality is a lot different than television.It’s still great entertainment compared to the brainless trash they put on today .
My father was a Lt. Col when he retired. Our last name is Sanders. Guess who got to play ole Sarge back in the day when we used to watch this show all the time?! My Dad and I used to watch this together. He thought it was a pretty good series too, although he doesn't remember that the Germans got wasted so easily on these patrols. He said the German soldier was a determined force to be reckoned with. Miss ya Dad!
Thank you for posting the best show ever, Combat, power packed with life lessons and illustrated sermons, all relative for today, to spur us onward and to not give up.
So glad to hear you write for this fandom; it's so worthy and yet so few 😞 I also love writing for it but I just have no time now. Love to see your work, do you write under this same name?
A great creepy atmosphere with Skip , He was such a great character actor in so many shows like , episodes of the Untouchables , several episodes of Combat &, Star Trek , even the Outer Limits & the many films he was in. Loved this show as kid & it's still as good today as it was as a kid .
One of the best tv program ever I watched every time when I got a chance when I was a 7 year old kid VIC MORROW WAS THE BEST MAY GOD WELCOME YOU AND THE REST HOME IN HEAVEN
Good, creepy episode with appropriate background music. Skip Homeier could haunt any house. He was a fine actor who turned up in a lot of 60s shows. Actually they should have made him a Combat! regular. Pretty wild cave. I wonder if it's an MGM backlot or a real cave.
It was the Rock Cave set on the old MGM Backlot, between River Rd and Eucy. There's lots of speculation as to what it was originally built for, but nobody has ever really been able to pinpoint it. It was used in dozens of films and tv series up until it was demolished in 1975. The last project that used it was the 1974 TV movie "The Phantom of Hollywood," about a masked killer who lives in the Rock Cave set of the MGM Backlot. Ironically, he goes around killing the studio heads who sold off the Backlot and are in the process of demolishing it, which was exactly what happened in real life a year later.
sad to see the generation that made combat pass on. young teens should made to watch yhese for the life lessons.... lol.. except everyone smoked back then as standard practice. as did we when i was in usmc
Greetings, Brian. I turned 13 on June 7th that year. How time really does fly-- it's a bit scary, and lonely, and sad. But I have lots of good memories.
golem, I watched every episode of Rat Patrol when it was fresh on TV and every uploaded episode all over again on U-tube. Always approved of the honor and respect each showed the other. And truth be told it was very much like that in REAL LIFE during WWII. I have a friend who's father flew B-17's.HE WAS ESCORTED BACK TO THE CHANNEL once by a Me BF109, when his plane was shot up almost beyond flyability. Its not just a "story" It really happened!!! Honor, Respect, AND HUMANITY!!
Hans Gudegast is Eric Braeden. He changed his name sometime after this because he was told nobody would hire a German actor with a German name. He chose Braeden after his hometown in Germany, Bredenbek. He has played ruthless businessman Victor Newman on "The Young and the Restless" since 1980.
Hans Gudegast played as Capt. Hans Dietrich in The Rat Patrol. Set in North Africa during World War II, this series chronicles the adventures of a 4-man team of commandos within the Long Range Desert Group. (In utter defiance of historical accuracy, the team consists of three Americans and one Brit. No Australians.) Armed with jeeps equipped with .50-caliber machine guns, they wage a highly irregular war against Rommel's Afrika Korps. Their most common nemesis is Hauptmann Dietrich, though Dietrich and the Rats join forces from time to time against a common enemy. By the way for The Rat Patrol he played under the name Hans Gudegast.
That asshole tell the lt "I bet it's that little DRIP Billy who probably got lost " I take it Billy got on some of these assholes nerves ? I don't think he was all that bad. Little John's buddy.
Hey folks this was just a T.V. show way back when. I was just 5 years old. Don't take it to series,(serious)! My father and Uncles said it wasn't anything like that! They were WWII war veterans and they seen plenty of action! Most of the time they hardly knew who the man was beside themselves. The lines of engagement were always crossed!
" don't take it to series ". try,..' don't take it too serious ' .When you're trying to dole out wisdom, try and make sure that you can spell even the easiest words !!!
My paratroop grandpa on the 82nd thought it was serious. He jumpt into ddsy,jumpt into market garden, and was wounded in the battle of the bulge. He didn't like talking too much about it!
Ah , 15 in 63 made U 18 in 1968. Did U recieve your invitation.to South -East ASIA? I knew a few older dudes over there already by 1967. My one friends bro.was in Ke Sahn around late 67 in the marines! TET hit around mid -jan.1968. My uncle was kia there mid 3/1968 with the 1st cav. Div.. 10 days before my 11th bday.
I was 8yr old when show aired, I was sergeant 2 little brothers & neighbors filled out the platoon. Had an interstate being built through the neighborhood. Got our field jackets & helmet @ army surplus 1mi away. Bbgun ok, pellets outlawed by Genova convention. We lived a new patrol every day, so good.
my dad would interpret when there were germans speaking.he arrived in france during battle of the bulge at southern france to replace the 9th division because 1/2 of his div.,the 66th, went down in the english channel in uss.leopold that was sunk by torpedo the night before.my dad's ship headed back to england to make crossing in daylight.it could why i'm here.who knows what would have happened if he went to the buldge?
He was also on Titanic the movie. Been on other shows as well. Like gunsmoke. If I remember right he was also on an episode of Airwolf, Mission Impossible, and was on Wonder Woman with my childhood crush Linda Carter.
WOW the actors knew how to act not like the new ones today. Ones like Robert Redford, John Wayne, Vic Morrow etc. where are the ones that could pull off an episode like this? The actors today need to adjust their attitudes.
Most of us are not fluent in German or French, they should've used English sub title when actors are speaking German or French or maybe sub titles weren't available yet during the early to mid 60's.
Vic morrow died early and luckily jack hogan is still alive they are my favorites combat character we watch it whrn im.7 yrs old me snd my brother and my dad my dad is also a soldier a korean vet
The video quality on this (VHS) is much higher than normal because of the cave footage. You don't really notice until the last scene, which is out in the sunlight and crystal clear.
18:15, Reel D-23 L-648, an iconic piece, used on “Teenagers From Outer Space” (1959), Perry Mason (1958), Space Angel (1962), The Kingdom Of The Sea (1957), and others.

They never said he died he could of been moved to a different room even but the wound was supposed to be bad and it was assumed he died it's like a soap Opera they come back from death
Co-Star, Skip Homeier's Voice and Face is very reminiscent of Mike Row in Dirty Jobs. Skips 85 and still alive as of this comment. Good adaptation to hunting the enemy SF/Ranger style. 9:40 Flares... when you hear, or see the flare go up before it ignites... instantly close, or cover, your firing eye and freeze. The movement of your shadow will give away your position quicker than your shape will. When the flare goes out, you'll have a good firing eye to see and shoot with, that the enemy will not. You're depth perception will be lessened by the non firing eye for this advantage. But what would i know about it? -Former Recondo Sgt. "Rock" 82nd Abn. 1/504 Inf. 71-74
"Hey what time is it?" "O 7 hundred." "What time is that?" "7 o'clock." 31:30 I remember hearing that exact question, many times during my tours.....funny.
Yeah, I've thinking the same since I found these videos! The Garand is an awkward beast to move around with, heavy and cumbersome. With fixed bayonet it must be even worse, you must get the bayonet stuck into things all the time. Regards
I was 3 when this aired but first saw it on Armed Forces TV while in Korea in 81. Watched it with my 1st Sgt and Battery CO. on CQ duty listening to tops critique lol. The LT is creepy
Interesting to note that the bits of incidental music played when a German patrol is on screen usually incorporate the first 5 notes of the German National Anthem, 'Deutschlandlied.' 🎶'Deutschland, Deutschland über alles...' 🎶
Episodes like this create the illusion that the war in France lasted years as it did in WW 1. In reality, it started June 6, 1944 & was over by September. In the episode, I don't recall Skip Homeir's character ever being correctly identified but the credits have him as Billy Joe. Interesting. "See you in the cemetery" Classic!
@@mikedag1176 Arguably Japan's foray into China and the Spanish Civil War can be considered part of WW 2 as well. My comment, however, was specific to the war in France in 1944.
Using Me & BF together is redundant; either is an acceptable prefix. BF was an abbreviation for the manufacturer and was the prefix originally used until 1938, when an abbreviation for the designer's name was used. The german air ministry continued to refer to the plane as the BF 109 in documents throughout the war.Most americans know the plane as the Me 109.
Mark Collins They could have been buried in the same cemetery since both were Jewish but Rick Jason was cremated and his bio doesn't say where he was buried. Vic Morrow is buried in the same cemetery as Moe Howard, Lorne Greene, Michael Landon, Dinah Shore, and other Jewish sports/entertainment personalities.
Stephen - Michael Landon was Bar Mitzvah. That means he was Jewish. He attended and celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at Temple Beth Shalom. He was buried at The Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary a Jewish cemetery. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Landon
An example of an Unknown Soldier. That’s why Saunders passed him off as “already dead” in his report to Hanley. We all know there were 9 dead with that “Lt Kranz” still alive. Saunders simplified everything.
23:27, Reel D-23 L-685, another Spencer Moore piece from the Capitol Production Music Library, Combat is technically not a “Capitol” TV show, I remember on March, 1963, on this episode, I heard those 2 tunes, (L-648 & L-685) both from the same reel (D-23).
A story like this could ONLY have taken place between the landings on June 6 and Operation cobra (July 25-31). That was the only time lines were static enough to allow for this. Not sure about caverns or caves, but I did see reference to underground slate quarries in the bocage region where the fighting took place in this period.
I always Loved Combat and l am happy l get to binge watch practically every show. As l am watching l think about when these war shows aired in and around the early 60's and along with Combat there were other shows and movies fixated on WWii. 20 years after the war and America was still fixated on this war, especially the European theater. I noticed that in this time frame they found plenty of young Germans to play Nazi's and l noticed also the German language spoken without translating. So Germans of the WWii generation fought the war and the next generation Germans get to portray their fathers and uncles in that war and l find that so interesting. Since the Victor's tell the story l often wondered how these young German actors feel as they portray the evil of their predecessors. For some Germans the guilt still runs a little deep for what their fathers did. The Japanese do not have to deal with all the atrocities of that generation since they whitewash their history. Current Japanese are clueless about WWii and the evil done by Japan. Anyway l just posted what l was thinking as l watched these shows.
As the son of a German immigrant family, whose father fought for the Germans in Operation Barbarossa on the Russian front….growing up in the 1960s was a bit rough, the teasing an abuse was cruel. I could never have friends over to my house….as soon as they heard my parents accent…some freaked out. TV shows like Combat and Hogans Hero’s….made me ashamed to be German as a child, as I thought I was the descendants of the “Bad Guys”. …even though my parents were the most tender and gentle people, who just wanted to be Americans, and never taught us the German language as they wanted us to assimilate as Americans. As I grew, I learned that 1/3 of the American troops in WW2 were of direct German descent (heard of Eisenhower/Eisenhauer?) I learned it was a political war that sparked from the treatment of Germany from the Treaty of Versailles. The evils done by the Nazi regime were not unprecedented, as genocide with concentration camps and slavery were even done by we Americans (Native Americans and reservations, and African slaves). I’m not an apologist for Germany, and they have had to deal with it, mostly the guilt. The atrocities done by Stalin were even greater than the Nazis, but because Stalin was an Ally, we Americans look away. From my childhood shame and guilt I learned to later discover the tremendous contributions of the Germans, that the war tended to cover over. I learned of The greatness of the German composers, writers and of course, the engineers and scientists. My long-winded point here is that all cultures have some darkness in their history, and if you are a descendant of say, the Russians, you can have the guilt of the atrocities of Stalin or can look at the greatness done by the Russians such as Tolstoy or Tchaikovsky.
Although this soldier fought in this episode, he would have been the exception. About 20+ years ago, I read an article about US Army units in Europe being severely undermanned because of desertion. Hundreds of US solders deserted and could be found in caves, wine cellars, barns, bordellos, fruit orchards, etc. Sometimes they'd try to pass themselves off as French or Dutch civilians, but other US soldiers knew they were deserters. They wouldn't bother the deserters or try to get them to return to duty. The deserters were hunkering down or taking evasive action to avoid arrest by the MPs. After the war, some of those who hadn't been arrested stayed in France or some other European country since they knew they'd end up in a US military stockade.
They were ready to send a guy in one episode a trip ta' friggin' Levanworth for havin' a flask of whiskey on his person while on patrol. Kirby's got a bottle of wine and does'nt even rate a good ass chewin' . It was Saunders whom caught both of them.
I didnt think anone noticed. PS In Rat Patrol he was Hans Gudegast (real birth name - Apr 3 1941) who opposed Christopher George.Changed his name when he came to Houston Tx, 1in 1960/61. He starred in "The Young and the Restless" soap opera. LOL
Dont know whether anyone noticed but one of the Germans was Eric Braeden (born Hans Gudegast) who opposed Christopher George in Rat Patrol and later became a big star in "The Young and the Restless" soap opera. Apr 3rd 1941 still living!
@@watchgooseDidn't get the South - east Asian invitational? What? Most dudes @ that age were sweaten it out in being sent there by 1965. Whew! Close if he didn't and thank god for it!!!
LT. Kranst and his men, the ten dead Americans in the cave belonged to the 422nd Infantry. The only 442nd Infantry I know of was the Japanese American Infantry Regiment (Go For Broke) that fought primarily in Europe during World War II, in particular Italy, southern France, and Germany. Can somebody clarify this discrepancy?

We did that too when we were kids and we used to have dirt bomb fights to pretend they were grenades
One thing about this show, it depicts the hedgerow fighting somewhat accurate! My grandpa was a medic in the 82nd airborne div. And jumped into normandy 6/6/1944(dday). He didn't want to reminisce about that battle; saw both german and american soldiers kia. He said the whole deal was CRAZY !

Hans Gudegast is Eric Braeden. He changed his name sometime after this because he was told nobody would hire a German actor with a German name. He chose Braeden after his hometown in Germany, Bredenbek. He has played ruthless businessman Victor Newman on "The Young and the Restless" since 1980.

They aren't sharp just long and clumsy
Man talking about flashbacks this was one of my favorite shows
On the contrary, any competent commander will have patrols constantly probing the enemy lines. Even in today's army which you under-estimage grossly.
I was 3 when this aired but first saw it on Armed Forces TV while in Korea in 81. Watched it with my 1st Sgt and Battery CO. on CQ duty listening to tops critique lol.
The LT is creepy
I wonder when Kirby gets his BAR... I remember he had one when I originally watched the show.
+Porsche924Tim Episode 5 or 6, I think.
Episode 5 "Far from the brave"
Interesting to note that the bits of incidental music played when a German patrol is on screen usually incorporate the first 5 notes of the German National Anthem, 'Deutschlandlied.'
🎶'Deutschland, Deutschland über alles...' 🎶
Thanks USA we never wanted this experience onto other's wants..guest 🌟 it is simple there is no script yet
Episodes like this create the illusion that the war in France lasted years as it did in WW 1. In reality, it started June 6, 1944 & was over by September. In the episode, I don't recall Skip Homeir's character ever being correctly identified but the credits have him as Billy Joe. Interesting. "See you in the cemetery" Classic!
1 September. 1939 Hostilities commenced.
7 May 1945 Germany 🇩🇪 surrendered.
2 Sept. 1945 All hostilities ended with Japan.throwimg in the towel!
It got a little bit too hot in Hiroshima & Nagasaki...
Just a bit.
@@mikedag1176 Arguably Japan's foray into China and the Spanish Civil War can be considered part of WW 2 as well. My comment, however, was specific to the war in France in 1944.
Using Me & BF together is redundant; either is an acceptable prefix. BF was an abbreviation for the manufacturer and was the prefix originally used until 1938, when an abbreviation for the designer's name was used. The german air ministry continued to refer to the plane as the BF 109 in documents throughout the war.Most americans know the plane as the Me 109.
he played pretty boy in the halls of montezuma as well
Good Halloween-like episode.
omg Eric (Hans) in tis episode. guess than he went to the Rat Patrol
He played Jack Sinclair on Gunsmoke. A bad guy that went up against Matt. Never a good idea.
+++++++++++++++THAT WAS A GOOD SHOW + I USED 2 REALLY ENJOY WATCHING IT++++++++++++++
"I'll see you in the cemetery..." Bad choice of words, LT!
Mark Collins They could have been buried in the same cemetery since both were Jewish but Rick Jason was cremated and his bio doesn't say where he was buried. Vic Morrow is buried in the same cemetery as Moe Howard, Lorne Greene, Michael Landon, Dinah Shore, and other Jewish sports/entertainment personalities.
The irony of it actually a little smile on Saunders' face.
Michael Landon was an evangelical, NOT a jew !
Stephen - Michael Landon was Bar Mitzvah. That means he was Jewish.
He attended and celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at Temple Beth Shalom. He was buried at The Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary a Jewish cemetery.

Night Patrol was brilliant.The question remains, WHO was the man imitating Lt. Kranst?
According to the credits, his name was Billy Joe. Just another victim of wartime.

An example of an Unknown Soldier. That’s why Saunders passed him off as “already dead” in his report to Hanley. We all know there were 9 dead with that “Lt Kranz” still alive. Saunders simplified everything.
23:27, Reel D-23 L-685, another Spencer Moore piece from the Capitol Production Music Library, Combat is technically not a “Capitol” TV show, I remember on March, 1963, on this episode, I heard those 2 tunes, (L-648 & L-685) both from the same reel (D-23).
A story like this could ONLY have taken place between the landings on June 6 and Operation cobra (July 25-31). That was the only time lines were static enough to allow for this. Not sure about caverns or caves, but I did see reference to underground slate quarries in the bocage region where the fighting took place in this period.

Most French caves are located in mid to southeast France close to the Alps. But, there are a few chalk caves near Normandy.
God Bless You Sir For Your Service and Personal Sacrifices For This Awesome Countrie's Freedom !!!!
I always Loved Combat and l am happy l get to binge watch practically every show.
As l am watching l think about when these war shows aired in and around the early 60's and along with Combat there were other shows and movies fixated on WWii.
20 years after the war and America was still fixated on this war, especially the European theater.
I noticed that in this time frame they found plenty of young Germans to play Nazi's and l noticed also the German language spoken without translating.
So Germans of the WWii generation fought the war and the next generation Germans get to portray their fathers and uncles in that war and l find that so interesting.
Since the Victor's tell the story l often wondered how these young German actors feel as they portray the evil of their predecessors.
For some Germans the guilt still runs a little deep for what their fathers did. The Japanese do not have to deal with all the atrocities of that generation since they whitewash their history. Current Japanese are clueless about WWii and the evil done by Japan.
Anyway l just posted what l was thinking as l watched these shows.
As the son of a German immigrant family, whose father fought for the Germans in Operation Barbarossa on the Russian front….growing up in the 1960s was a bit rough, the teasing an abuse was cruel. I could never have friends over to my house….as soon as they heard my parents accent…some freaked out. TV shows like Combat and Hogans Hero’s….made me ashamed to be German as a child, as I thought I was the descendants of the “Bad Guys”. …even though my parents were the most tender and gentle people, who just wanted to be Americans, and never taught us the German language as they wanted us to assimilate as Americans. As I grew, I learned that 1/3 of the American troops in WW2 were of direct German descent (heard of Eisenhower/Eisenhauer?) I learned it was a political war that sparked from the treatment of Germany from the Treaty of Versailles. The evils done by the Nazi regime were not unprecedented, as genocide with concentration camps and slavery were even done by we Americans (Native Americans and reservations, and African slaves). I’m not an apologist for Germany, and they have had to deal with it, mostly the guilt. The atrocities done by Stalin were even greater than the Nazis, but because Stalin was an Ally, we Americans look away.
From my childhood shame and guilt I learned to later discover the tremendous contributions of the Germans, that the war tended to cover over. I learned of The greatness of the German composers, writers and of course, the engineers and scientists. My long-winded point here is that all cultures have some darkness in their history, and if you are a descendant of say, the Russians, you can have the guilt of the atrocities of Stalin or can look at the greatness done by the Russians such as Tolstoy or Tchaikovsky.
@@hertzair1186 Absolutely correct.
Vic Morrow he awesome he was. What a great show such performance.
Although this soldier fought in this episode, he would have been the exception. About 20+ years ago, I read an article about US Army units in Europe being severely undermanned because of desertion. Hundreds of US solders deserted and could be found in caves, wine cellars, barns, bordellos, fruit orchards, etc. Sometimes they'd try to pass themselves off as French or Dutch civilians, but other US soldiers knew they were deserters. They wouldn't bother the deserters or try to get them to return to duty. The deserters were hunkering down or taking evasive action to avoid arrest by the MPs. After the war, some of those who hadn't been arrested stayed in France or some other European country since they knew they'd end up in a US military stockade.
Kirby should be a cook or some thing that fits him better? Yeeks!
Two barbers and a gamekeeper to get a bat out of a beard. Too funny. I wonder who thought that one up.
This is the height of black and white photography.
filmography
Night Patrol, flare goes up, stare at flare,
Yeah, the Star Trek space hippie.
wow, Hans Gudegast - how cool is that???
I didn t know though it was brief that he was in this one. I guess that makes three he was in
Skip Homeier was Luther's friend Ollie in "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken".
Why isn’t Kirby in the brig? He would have never made it in my platoon.
They were ready to send a guy in one episode a trip ta' friggin' Levanworth for havin' a flask of whiskey on his person while on patrol. Kirby's got a bottle of wine and does'nt even rate a good ass chewin' . It was Saunders whom caught both of them.
Would be interested to know where this episode was filmed. A real cave ??
If it ain't raining, you ain't training
Hey, the kraut that the "LT" shot in the beginning resurrected and showed up in the end...
I didnt think anone noticed. PS In Rat Patrol he was Hans Gudegast (real
birth name - Apr 3 1941) who opposed Christopher George.Changed his
name when he came to Houston Tx, 1in 1960/61. He starred in "The Young
and the Restless" soap opera. LOL
Kowee ngerthiu ithill dhawa ,YES
33:50, Reel D-23 TC-648, making an encore, It from the Capitol Production Music Library.
A flare goes up at night you are supposed to close your dominate eye so you do not lose your night vision.
1960 I was born......old school by my uncles and mon and dad
Capt. Dietrich from Rat Patrol! (Hans Gudegast/Eric Baden)
Hauptmann Dietrich and Eric Braeden
Dont know whether anyone noticed but one of the Germans was Eric Braeden (born Hans Gudegast) who opposed Christopher George in Rat Patrol and later became a
big star in "The Young and the Restless" soap opera. Apr 3rd 1941 still living!
and still fine looking!
@@watchgooseDidn't get the South - east Asian invitational? What? Most dudes @ that age were sweaten it out in being sent there by 1965. Whew! Close if he didn't and thank god for it!!!
25:04 Well, the chicken Colonel is still around today 😅
How many sets of dog tags did the Lt have?
33:20 Little John screwing with Billy's head.
Haha with Billy that would be "a quickie" ;
i'm very proud to say that Rick Jason and Vic Morrow were -- Jewish!
LT. Kranst and his men, the ten dead Americans in the cave belonged to the 422nd Infantry. The only 442nd Infantry I know of was the Japanese American Infantry Regiment (Go For Broke) that fought primarily in Europe during World War II, in particular Italy, southern France, and Germany. Can somebody clarify this discrepancy?
You are correct...but those men in the cave were from the 422nd
Good one
great job
I wish there would have been a series of the Vietnam war...
There was, it was called Tour Of Duty that ran in the late 80's on CBS.
The dog tags they found in the cave were those of his men.
Eric Braedan (Hans Gudegast) got around in the 60s
