One of My favorite Shows as a Kid! Combat! Wild Wild West! Chiller theater! Monkees! Clay Coles Discotheque! Outer Limits! GREAT time to be a kid! Best...
I remember this episode in southern California in Long Beach as a 9 year old..amazing stuff for boys in the day. Also Lost in space and Wild wild west. Never a dull moment on T.V. then. Robert at 66.
DUAL is another wonderful episode of the all-time classic, Combat! Vic Morrow was superb as Sgt. Saunders as usual. THANKS to all who are providing these timeless episodes. I watched them as a kid who thought it was all there was to be a soldier at war.
U seen the two part Hill Is For Heroes is a classic all around that he directed and written by dude who wrote Star Trek scripts. YesMorrow was a badass!
@@woodrowpreacely7521 Well, fuzzy wuzzy, MOST of the major stars featured on the show are appearing in some other 'combat' episode on some other planet. The 'lieutenant' killed himself, the 'sergeant' was decapitated....the french woman, Michelline Presley is still living, she's ninety nine...she appeared in one episode.The 'sergeant' got all excited about her.....wished they'd gotten together.....
Great episode! i watched this show as a child, sneaking the TV on & staying up late, watching this on a fuzzy black & white & it was the only channel we could get. When I turned 17, after playing with & watching GI joe...I joined the Marines!

Loved this movie when it was on every week and watch it on here about every night. Except Church night and sometimes after church. I come to it when I get wore out with today's crock of "reality"and filth.Thank you for sharing them. Love seeing Saunders and the guys.
Combat Rules. Watched as a kid and over the years, and still watching now. I will say this..... sure would have liked to hang out with Vic in the 40s, 50s, 60s And Beyond.... Can you imagine what a great time that would been? Thanks to all, and Thank You To All Veterans, who have done more to make Our Country Great, than almost anyone else i.e inventors, certain politicians ( Theodore Roosevelt ), scientists doctors, etc. P.S. I am not William, but LedHed Steven. William is my cousin. All other posts throughout the episodes are mine also. Thank you again. I am old and in I'll health, but I am enjoying my second childhood immensely. Who ever said you could not, was flat out Wrong!!!!!! However, that second childhood does not start until you are old and or told bad things by the doctor.
Keep the faith, Semper Fi. Biblical nonviolence of Jesus The Christ of The Holy Bible? The Holy Bible says that war is badly educated men using obsolete weapons to fight like animals. The US Civil War: badly educated men and obsolete weapons. World War One: badly educated men and obsolete weapons. World War Two: badly educated men and obsolete weapons. Korean and Vietnam wars: badly educated men and obsolete weapons. Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukrainian wars: badly educated men and obsolete weapons. Star Trek and Star Wars: badly educated men and obsolete weapons. That's what The Holy Bible, The Word of GOD, says.
@Micheal Williamson I absolutely agree . When this program was originally broadcast ,there were no VCR's or PVR's . I was focused on my academics at the time , and now due to the wonders of modern technology, I can watch these nuggets of gold from the golden age of television in my senior years . Thanks for the posts ,they are true gems !
My Dad and I watched this TV series every week back in the 1960s when it first aired, I loved this show. This is the only episode that I actually remember with Sgt. Saunders vs. the Tank which was 58 years ago. Especially memorable was Saunders hanging onto to the top of the tank while the Germans tried buck him off, just an incredible scene watching the tank move like that. Thanks for posting this!
Bobby Rydell spoke very highly of Vic Morrow is his book and said that he was terribly sorry about what happened to Vic while he was filming "The Twilight Zone".
Now that's real entertainment...so it's a little unrealistic...only a little and the entertainment value is off the charts.What a fantastic episode...It's amazing how most of the episodes are so damn good...not just a few,about 99%..
I was born golden age of TV what a wonderful time it was I didn't think much then of it till I got older all the good shows on back to bad they couldn't do it today a person wouldn't mind paying to Cable or put these rerun on these great shows like combat and more RIP Vic M and Rick J
I'm an Englishman and fresh to this series and boy what a treat! This looks boss 10 mins in. Only America produces these classics many thanks and for the War effort too. Respect
Watched a few episodes back in the 70's and believe I have see this one. Unreal times. Enjoyed watching tank & submarine movies, not sure why but do. Thanks for uploading these shows. Will enjoy once again. Go Seahawks!!
I was born 1960 and during the 70's i was able to see this episode, my favorite ....from time to time i still go back to view it, good its available in you tube ...
The black and white film skill set had reached its peak level in 1964. This is evident in this episode and those of outer limits. The effects are stunning, your are drawn in. The Walker Bulldog painting as a Panther works as it looks like a reptile crocodile monster. The Germans look serious and focused, yet not cartoon like.. the inside of the tank look claustrophobic and made you not want to be inside a tank. Changing the truck tire with the angles used to film now look terrifying. Add to that the ominous heavy brassy sound track The log in the tracks and gas can stuck in my mind since watching this with my dad back in the 1960s. This is a masterpiece. Add to that advisory and support personnel were watching this on armed forces TV in South Vietnam 1964. The irony, hey did WW 2 look like that? Some of the older advisers were certainly there. They ha to think hey that tank is right here right now along with that duce and half
These shows my generation watched i believe were responsible for helping us young men learn about brotherhood on the battle field. Honor .bravery for God and country . BUT NEVER. FOR THE GOVERNMENT
This was one of my favorite episodes. I used to pretend I was Vic Marrow as Sgt. Saunders when we played army men with our toy rifles, etc. from Mattel in the mid 1960's the next day.
I wanted the full on Army rifle, but mom bought me the Dick Tracy Revolver. After I hit Dad in his glasses with the plastic bullet, he took that away! Lesson to be learned, don't shoot Dad!
Vic Morrow the best Sarg evev. Had things under control didn't he? His word was the law! and everyone obeyed it. No PC stuff in him! He is the one to emulate as a strong military leader. Loved this show! His death was so tragic jeez. And Lt Hanley committed suicide by gun shot another tragedy. But I loved this show. Still watch the reruns today.
This TV series was the Prime Motivation for me taking three years of German language classes (1967-1970) a skill set that served me well during my Cold War tour of duty in Nuremberg Germany (1976-1979)
Vic Morrow, RIP, was truly perfect for the part of Sgt. Saunders. Thanks for providing these fantastic episodes of Combat, my all-time favorite war show. Thanks, too, for the casting director who picked Vic Morrow and the others. Brilliant! Larry Wood
The is one of my favorites, its just amazing how Vic Morrows just doesn't stop on finishing the challenges he is up against. I really connect with the driver because that is how I would think lets just leave and make a run for it. The writer did a really good job at how the drivers mental state of mind was by how he thought his dad and family were just losers, just blue collar workers and just a driver nothing bigger than that which is why he didn't get that tire on the truck. Vic Morrow showed the driver kid a good role model to look up to and gets the job done with all the challenges that faced you ever moment is changing by and more challenges keep on coming but doesn't stop Vic Morrow character at all. It's amazing how he is wresting on top of that german tank moving side to side trying to throw him off just amazing footage.
Vic was such in inspiration to me. One cloudy day me an my helper were 60 miles from home and it was the last job and my helper said here comes lighting and a hale storm, he was scared an wanted to quit an I said " Well than get your ass a moving." We got done in Combat time.
This is one of my favorite COMBAT episodes, along with one where Saunders matches wits with the sergeant of a German squad. Great episodes in a great show. My father, a combat veteran of the Second World War, loved this show above all others.
Vic morrow was so good in this role. Combat did so much in a half hour show. Used to run home to see it. It was filmed in Kodak 2500 film that's why the photography is so good also the camera man was excellent using special techniques to film in closed spaces and other difficult shots
One highlight in Bobby Rydell's career was appearing in the film version of Bye Bye Birdie (1963). In interviews he often mentioned that he and Ann-Margret had "good chemistry."
The most talked about episode. I remember my older brothers telling me about it during the early 70s and I finally got to see it when Combat hit syndication years later!
From 29:25 and for about the next four minutes, they should've titled this episode, "Dances With Tanks". Vic Morrow riding that tank like it was a bucking bronco. Best part of the episode! I was nine years old when this episode first aired. These many years later, it's pretty much like watching them again for the first time. And They're Still Great! Rest In Peace Vic. 🙏
The Duel was one of the very best episodes I've seen. Think I saw it when I began watching the show somewhere around 1963 or 1964. To me, being a solider and going to war was all there was-- some years later I realized that I was wrong, not even close. A kid's perception in those days.
Aw i remember this my father told me he wacthed this in the 60 when he was in middle school in japan and aftrr this year i showed him this combat in yt
August 22, 2013, almost 50 years after this episode. There is a large billboard leaving Philly heading to Atlantic City. Guess who is performing at the Atlantic Casino in A.C. this weekend..........Bobby Rydell. Still has that youthful look.
I always felt Saunders should have been promoted to second Louie during the series and Caj should have been promoted to corporal. Caj was an important part of that squad, being interpreter and walking point most of the time and just being a damn good soldier.
Yep Caje should've been a corporal and fire team leader/asst squad leader, they should've made Littlejohn the BAR gunner and Kirby his ammo bearer, and the rest of the squad including the red shirts should've had way more rifle grenades. And whenever Saunders was playing platoon sergeant, Caje should've been acting squad leader.
I watched Combat all the time as a kid and don't remember many episodes, but two of them stuck out in my mind all these years. "The Short Day of Private Putnam" where an underage soldier pinpointed snipers in trees for Saunders to shoot at and this one. This had me sitting on the edge of my seat and yelling at the screen for the kid (Bobby Rydell) to hurry up and change the damn tire. Kept trying to tell myself to calm down it's only a TV program but still had me edgy. As a kid, and even now and maybe to most soldiers, what struck fear into me was hearing a tank coming. Saunders pulled this one out!
Add the episode with the "one many army" who was convinced he was going to die like his relatives so did incredibly brave things. Episode name was "High Named Today".
This is one I still remember watching as a kid when the show first came out. I always remembered, "Just shove a big log in the tracks". Yeah, that's the ticket!
I used to watch this show as a kid in the '60s and loved it! Sadly, the only surviving member of the cast is Conlan Carter who played 'Doc' now aged 90.
"Got a load of ammo in the back" while Saunders takes a long drag on his cigarette. BTW, the photography was great from a helicopter taking a wide angle to very close up zoom-in while both the truck and Helicopter are moving at about 35 mph. As Saunders was running toward the tank, the lens on the camera inside the helicopter was able to zoom-in on his face. Amazing photography with amazing black and white detail. Those old negatives were scanned into a digital scanner to make an excellent copy of the original film. Never back in the 60s were we able to see the quality and detail of what we see here today on TY. And to think that back in the 1960s there were still enough tanks available to make films like this. By the time they made "Fury" they had to borrow one of the few remaining tanks from a museam to film the movie.
....amazing how one episode sticks in your mind..remember this one from childhood days..and my dad saying,"one man's going to whoop that tank!!!"..thanks for the memories!!
I was only 8 years old when this show started but, every Saturday, my friend Cam and I would sit around the TV. and watch this program. We did that for years, and years. Funny thing is - now I see characters and actors in it who meant nothing to me at the time, but are my favourite actors today - Leonard Nemoy is a great example of this.
I actually had a "Combat" coloring book! Must've really been hard on my green Crayolas..... I'm sure that I knew the name and personality of every single squad member of this show, because our family never missed an episode. Dad was a medic, twice wounded, Silver Star recipient.
Loved this show. It was back in the sixties when everyone had b/w tv's so that made it very easy to insert stock combat footage. It made it all the more realistic. They could never get away with it today. I have to say though, in this episode, the truck is racing down the road with a ton of dust behind it but the truck is stuck in the mud. If it was a puddle it would have made more sense to ride on the flat till you get to a dry spot. Right?
I have watched an handful of war movies. The men protayed in the show combat displayed discipline, compassion and humor led by Mr. Morrow and Mr. Jason.

That's so cool Sargent Saunders taken on a German tank by himself and the way he does it just amazing how he foes it too esp him on top of it then doing a smart move like what he did at the end to it with the Jerry can full of Petro sitting it on the back of it love how he calculated how he did it
Very true! I was born in 1951 and consider myself lucky to have grown up watching shows like this in the late 50s to mid 60s, the golden age of television.
For me, I think this was one of the most entertaining of series 3. Truly amazing how one man could hold off a tank. Okay, I'm surprised the Sarg carried so many hand-grenades, but still, I understand it wasn't that easy to hit a moving target from the internal machine gun, which was aimed by the turret, and up a slope!
I’m a VA RN and while nowadays the WW 2 vets we see are extremely few and far between, I’ll tell you this.. the ones I took care in the past, well they were a TOUGH CREW... I could stick forks in their eyeballs and they wouldn’t say a word! Tough ole boys!! I love all my vets, but I really miss the WW2 guys!
Bravo, to your comments. Every generation seems softer than the last . I was raised by my Grandfather, a WW1 veteran. My Grandmothers father was killed at Vimy ridge.
