Yes yes yes KEVIN BARKSDALE right on target with your comment about most of the people who produce these COMBATS as well as many TV SERIES of the 1950s 60s,70s serves in military or studied, grew up with, experienced the WAY OF LIFE that was just before and DURING THIER TIME growing up!!!
I'm 62 and never missed a episode of combat as a very young kid. I use to play army with my friends in their basements and backyards, usually the next day after we were all pumped up from the previous night of watching combat ! Loved that show !
I'm about a year older than you, and my friends and I used to do the exact same thing. When we played army in someone's yard or in the abandoned tomato field across the street, we were always re-enacting Combat.
I've watched most of the first season and The Quiet Warrior is my favorite Rick Jason as the star and Co Star J.D Cannon episode, it's magnificent. The writers and director were on target. I'm up to the Battle of the Roses now, I haven't picked my favorite Saunders episode, but planning to finish all of the seasons, he does such a good job.
Thank you for posting the best show ever, Combat, power packed with life lessons and illustrated sermons we need more than ever today, to inspire us onward and to not give up.
I have all 5 seasons and have watched several episodes many times. BTW, the drunk German doing the chair trick is Hans Gudegast. He changed his stage name to Eric Braden after his role on Rat Patrol.
Hollywood don't make shows like this like they used to... it's why today's people are more messed up than ever and that our future is very much in trouble now... it's up to us who understand and have learned such lessons to teach other the lesson of history...
The only lessons of history that you want to teach or have is the white European version of history. Especially in a diverse and multi cultural society as the United States of America is. You still believe that George Washington chopped down the cherry tree and didn’t lie about it. That’s a myth. Anyway our generation is about to die off and I’m hoping my kids and grandkids’ generations can reveal the truthful history of America. Believe me The nation will survive the truth. Especially once our generation is buried …
As I have watched this series, a first time for me as we did not have television when I was a kid, I have seen a lot of comments about how such a great series could not be produced these days, a sentiment which I am in complete agreement with. Not only was the acting much better then, but all the actors, writers, and producers have something that I am sure added to the greatness of this series, they had experiance. Of all the biographies I have read of the participants in this series so far they all served in the military, many fighting in WWII, prior to being actors.
I remember the excitement running home from 1st or 2nd grade in Lawton, OK. knowing my dad bought our first tv in late 64 or 65. I think, Combat showed early in the week with Flintstone on Thursday and Johnny Quest on Friday evening, along with the Lone Ranger, Voyage to the Bottom of the sea, 12 O'clock High and of course, The Jackie Gleason Show. I remember all the buzz, people talking about first Star Trek color production and tv coming out around 66 or 67. The good old days! Lol. Before we could afford a tv, i enjoyed going to the laundromat with my parents to watch tv. The affluent South Koreans had tvs in early 60's and the kids would climb on top of their fence to catch a glimpse of blue lights behind drawn curtains. I used to collect tokens for reading Korean comic books in Korea before coming to the US in late 64 and had enough tokens to watch tv at the comic shops on the weekends. It was dubbed in Korean, but used to watch, the Donna Reed show, Rin Tin Tin, F Troop, Lassie, etc. I miss those innocent times when everything was new and exciting!
I thought I'd seen every episode of *_COMBAT !_*. First time for this one, though. And one of the better ones, too! I'm always amazed at the consistent quality of this show. Every episode is superb. Proves you don't need a huge budget to make great TV.
First time watching these early years of Combat. I don't believe I started watching Combat until I was in 1st grade or so, which would have been 1966. We all played Army in the neighborhood, and I had Sgt. Saunders Camo helmet and Thompson sub-machine gun. Don't have those anymore, but I still have the board game Combat and a lot of great memories. Thanks for uploading these gems.
Always thought Savage from 12 oclock high looked insane even as a child...Robert Stack might have worked better than Paul Burke but Burke did some good acting when General Savage was bounced after one season.
28:32 I think one of the German soldiers dancing was Hans Gudegast, later known as Eric Braeden of Rat Patrol and The Young and the Restless, still as of 2021
Hey John Fuentes, I re-evaluated what I wrote, did a little research, and realised that I got the two Taylors mixed up. I agree with you... Rick Jason does have an uncanny resemblance to Robert Taylor, not Rod as I stated.
Rick Jason was such a good-looking man. Unforgettable face, great voice. In a couple of scenes here when he's wearing a beret (?) he even has a Gregory Peck-ish quality. But in general, yes he does look a lot like Robert Taylor, same coloring, hairline, eyebrows. He's much hotter than Taylor though!
At 24.10 6 25;03, the German soldier's French is almost perfect. German schools were and still are very good. I also agree with the other German soldier's judgement of feminin beauty. An extrêmely superbe épisode and J.D. Cannon played fabulously in this one. Merci pour le téléchargement. Drama and suspense!
Iain Schofield German students seemed to take studying a language seriously. Maybe that's because Europeans have so many opportunities to use their linguistic skills.
I’ve wondered how fluent the German spoken by the guest stars who played Germans, was. For the record, a friend who was born and grew up in Germany, told me the German spoken was authentic.
You can tell from the real film footage how much larger of an explosion the artillery made compared to the TV special effects...but it was 60s TV and considering budget and shooting schedule, they did ok.
If XCOM ENEMY UNKNOWN would ever be filmed or XCOM 2 the folks doing it should take COMBAT as a model for it. Doing it in a much mor academic style as in the Britsh show UFO from the late Sixties was not that successfull
Having been on the section machine gun at 2 different duty stations, I am aware of the voracious appetite they have for ammunition. Where does Saunders and Kirby keep all the ammunition they use on a single patrol? I also remember the first time I saw a panzer on Combat and, when it got close enough, realized it was a U S Army M 41 tank with a Hollywood makeover. In the "Walk With An Eagle"epesode, the pilot acted like an ROTC second lieutenant rather than a pilot. I enjoy the show, but this is the sort of thing an Army veteran would notice. I carried the M1 Garand when I served.
Yeah things like that always drive Veterans nuts. Just as my late mother who was Register Nurse for over 50 years, she became an RN in 1946, would go nuts watching M.A.S.H the tv series and point out everything wrong with it in the Operating Room scenes.
The discrepancies are almost comical. How they passed by is puzzling since, prior to 1972, almost every male did some time in the military, many starting shortly after getting “that draft notice”in the mail. Others joined the reserves to avoid getting drafted. So the vast majority have a knowledge of those things. “GOMER PYLE USMC” for example, was authentic enough to get the approval of the USMC, and permission to show the USMC logo in the opening. Yet one persistent blooper was in Gunnery Sergeant Carter’s being addressed as “Sarge” when the proper informal title would’ve been “Gunny”. No Marine would’ve ever called a Gunnery Sergeant, “Sarge”.
minimum! Of all the series exterior French scenes were shot next to west Los Angeles city college...and various early exterior country scenes at parks around Santa Monica mountains and the ,after exteriors up in the Sonoma area .
Most of the episodes were shot in California wineries, parks, and ranches. They had only one site in France they use as background once in a while. Some additional studio shots were shot in Burbank.
Этот фильмы я очень одобряю,все наши офицеры мужественные,сколько приходится бегать с места на место. Очень уставшие,измученные. Молодцы они защищают свою Родину.
My Father, whom PROUDLY SERVED In the United States Military for more than 20 years. Strict and Obedient Rules of Procedures. He SERVED in 3 MAJOR WARS: WWII , KOREAN WAR, and VIETNAM. My Father was Given the Grace of GOD and Was able to return home alive.
After months and months of evading the Germans in occupied France (43-44) my father wound up escaping and later debriefed and briefed other evading airmen later in England. Years later he wound up as a senior intelligence officer. These stories had to have hit close to home for him. He ultimately escaped over the Pyrenees having to cross over several times to make secure connections.
He did a syndicated series called Case of the Dangerous Robin in 1960, he investigated all over the World. The unusual part was he utilized judo and karate in some of the episodes. Which for 1960 was ground breaking.
SGT Saunders is a Squad Leader. Doesn't Hanley have a PLT SGT? Doesn't he have a SSG Squad Leader? Also, why didn't Hanley and his PLT SGT (if any) get SGT Saunders promoted to SSG, he filled a SSG slot for a long time, usually that is enough.
Two problems: They didn't normally ferry soldiers around in B-17 bombers. Ak-Ak would refer to smaller caliber anti-aircraft fire, while they were taking on FLAK from an 88.
Yeah, my thought too. Ferrying troops in a B-17?!? LOL, no. But, Ack-ack and Flak were two different terms for the same thing. Ack-ack was the Brit's term.
It was one of the best episodes. 30:34 The Germans really must had been short there on manpower. An OBERGEFREITER is a PRIVATE FIRST CLASS. An Unteroffizier ( Corporal) or Feldwebel ( Sergeant ) would had been at least more fitting as an address. Guess the script writer had been confused by the German ranking system.
12:30 Fun Fact: LE MAQUIS, in fact this was a regional name for the French Resistance in Normandy and the Bretagne. The name dates back to the French Revolution when many locals there had opposed "the Reign of Terror" in the early age of the Revolution because of the mass executtions In World War iI the the term became revived. It refers to the local word for Underwood called Maquis. Also in STAR TREK DEEP SPACE 9 the expression had been used for the settler´s militant opposition for relocations at the Cardassian border.
22:01 THE FAMOUS "CRICKETS" ( refer to: THE LONGEST DAY. 75 Things You Don´t Need to Know; put on the Net by A Million Movies. [ Now this Title-Statement is really not to literally to be taken, This fellow does astonishingly very well researched, great background videos to all sorts of Entertainment products ] But I wonder if this scene here is not a bit anachronistic because the Crickets had been sold in this purpose first for the Landing Operation.
I think the blonde Hanley was eyeing at the hotel lounge was a very young Barbara Babcock, who later guest starred on "Star Trek" and was Michael Conrad's love interest (Phil Esterhaus: "Let's be careful out there") on "Hill Street Blues".
I hope one day they remaster these in blueray these were shot on 35MM film the detail would be amazing probably see a freeway or two in the background.
Can you imagine them producing a show like that on TV today. It would be bad scripts and over acting by a bunch of teeny boppers trying to do everything cool.

It is Dietrich from The Rat Patrol, I noticed that too. He must have been one of the lucky Afrika Korp soldiers to make it back to Europe. Er...if lucky is the word that is.
To GARY MAZUR the characters name in COMBAT was Paul LURMA (or something similar to the last name i printed here) Check out the COMBAT 'EYES OF THE HUNTER' (available here on YOU TUBE) and in the scene where CAJE is interrogated by the german (played expertly by veteran actor WILLIAM SMITH (of LAREDO fame) CAJE gives his name as PAUL LEMAY!!!(it just came back to me) Hope this helps or go on and type in the keyboard if using cellphone or computer:COMBAT TV SERIES and youll get everything you need to know of the series (plus entire EPISODE BROADCAST DATES!
@@joelsacks210 Actually, I was thinking JD Cannon could have continued his role as the spy, with various missions, and even crossovers to the 12:00 o clock high series.

And this isn't is first appearance in this series. I'm sure he's been in at least one previous episode if not 2.
He’s been in more than 2 I believe Now he’s the star of a soap opera on CBS I believe. Just sayin …

I can not tell you how long, I have been looking for this show. I grew up watching and loving it.

It's a fantastic episode...I have been watching again & again 😀 😄...

This is one of the best episodes . J.D. Cannon , what an Actor ..!
Alias Smith and Jones. JD is awesome.
SUPERB
I love Hanley's expression as he savors his first cocktail in awhile. And as I have mentioned somewhere else....he kind of looks like Robert Taylor.
Looked like a gin & tonic.
Watch a ROD Taylor movie, then re-evaluate!

Great episode. I think The Ted Slocum character would have made a good tv show in itself.

Well, there weren't many working Pzkw IV's, Panthers or Tigers by then. And if you watch '60's war movies, the M41 was the go-to "German" tank.

Very Nice Haré Krišna!
That would of been the last time we saw Lt. Hanley on this show. He’d of been interned in Switzerland for the rest of the way.

Ted Slocomb sounds like George Burns.
Hanley, take your hat off unless you are under arms!
I'm sure that's Dietrich from rat patrol 37:14
It is Dietrich from The Rat Patrol, I noticed that too. He must have been one of the lucky Afrika Korp soldiers to make it back to Europe. Er...if lucky is the word that is.
It's his second appearance in Combat, so far.
wrong That's hans Gudengast from the rat patrol
@@dexadrinepancake he is in four episodes that I know of
That's right
To GARY MAZUR the characters name in COMBAT was Paul LURMA (or something similar to the last name i printed here) Check out the COMBAT 'EYES OF THE HUNTER' (available here on YOU TUBE) and in the scene where CAJE is interrogated by the german (played expertly by veteran actor WILLIAM SMITH (of LAREDO fame) CAJE gives his name as PAUL LEMAY!!!(it just came back to me) Hope this helps or go on and type in the keyboard if using cellphone or computer:COMBAT TV SERIES and youll get everything you need to know of the series (plus entire EPISODE BROADCAST DATES!
I think if I had Handley and Saunders as my superiors, I would follow them into the fray anytime??
OSS-nice
McCloud would be proud
Good episode. They got the title all wrong tho. Nobody was that quiet.
JD Cannon a fab actor
One of the masterpieces of Combat!
GR 160 289 is a 6 figure map reference.
Is it National grid or Geo ref system ?
The drunk German holding the chair the actor Baden who played the Colonel in the Rat Patrol
cool I haven't seen this series since I was a kid, honest the original airings
They could've spun another series out of this episode if they wanted to.
Sure Could have.
@@coleparker Hanley as James Bond? I could see it.
@@joelsacks210 Actually, I was thinking JD Cannon could have continued his role as the spy, with various missions, and even crossovers to the 12:00 o clock high series.
@@coleparker That sounds more realistic, for sure.
