When I saw " Evasion"' recently I was impressed when Lt. Hanley was walking down the street in that kraut town and he was dressed in that Albanian uniform, and those kraut soldiers saw him and wondered who he was. Also when that young kraut soldier was speaking kraut to him on board the train. Again Lt. Hanley looks more sharp in his U.S. Army uniform.
I enjoy the show. One of the best is" Hills are for Heroes". I know I would chose warrior over anything else. There's this death that has to stay elusive for the splendid concentration. I don't like distractions. It made itself special in this episode. Take care. Laur
On another thread, one poster suggested that it would take a deuce and a half to cart their medals. I'm advancing the theory that it would take an entire troop ship to cart Hanley, Saunders, Kirby, Caje, Little John, and DOC back home with all of their awards and decorations.
By season 4 a B film unit was sent to France along with some Combat uniforms to film background stuff. They hired some locals to dress up and act like the Sarg and his men.
It was France. The producers sent a team to France to collect a lot of outside footage scenes for series four. They wanted Morrow and Jason to go too but wouldn't pay them their requested fee to do so, thence all the shots of them are at distance with stand in actors. The rest was filmed back in California. (Often around imported Australian Gum trees just to confuse things even more ! I'm an Australian and I recognise them. It was a failed business venture in California earlier last century ! )
Finally, the first specific episode I remember. I remember the Hitler Youth puzzling over an improvised Albanian uniform. I did not reassociate the Combat! aspect. Funny too, I remember LT, Sarge, Caje, Doc and Littlejohn. But not Kirby.
The woman in this episode is undoubtedly one of the sexiest women I have ever seen,just her face alone exudes tons of sexuality. The fat gestapo certainly had good taste,that is until she shanked him in the back,lol.
15:06 DIE BERLINER MORGENPOST - In West Berlin there was later on DIE MORGENPOST ( AXEL SPRINGER PRINT ) and in EAST BERLIN there was later on DIE BERLINER ZEITUNG as a VEB. Seems the Newpaper name became split like the city itself :)
Castles were often used for officer prisoners. Think Colditz for instance. The materials used were improvised. The uniform is made of torn up blankets, the ink home made and so on.
Captured officers generally had good prison conditions. The father of a friend, a French officer captured in 1940, always said that his time as a prisoner were the best four years of his life!. This castle is not in Germany, it is in France in the Loire valley.
Porfavor en ESPÑOL se lo suplico a mi me encanta la serie combate me trae muchos recuerdos lo veía con mis padres y la sigo biendo con mi familia amo 💕la serie combate porf pásala en español 🙂
This T.V. show makes today's Network shows/movies look so sophomoric...Our Culture/Country is gone...So bottoms up my Old Combat Fans ...our day is over...
how does someone swim that far with wet, soggy clothes & boots on, using only one arm? (and never being spotted the whole time) he should be in the Olympics
Another critic! Let the show go on! Let's enjoy!! There aren't any other shows as good and intertaining like this one ,so stop criticizing this super good series, Better than what they show now!!!!
Reality pause... Albanian liaison officer in mid- or late 1944 that speaks no German sent to Germany? Nicht sehr gut, kamerad. Some of these get a bit far-fetched. Back to the story...
What an absurd story. I couldn't make it past Hanley floating down river. Where were the American pows housed? It looked more like a fraternity house. No guards. Where did they get materials for the uniform, travel documents, ID, etc? climbing down a rope made of garments in broad daylight. One guard outside with his back turned. Really. What happened to semi realistic scripts?
If you can master suspension of disbelief you will enjoy the series and enable yourself to perceive the message that the producers and actors intended to convey. Otherwise, good luck!
Of the two dozen episodes I've watched, this one really has reached the absolutely lowest limits of credibility!The writers, producers and director deserve no credit whatsoever for a storyline that was crass, stupid and beyond any intelligent thought. The acting was pretty juvenile, the story without proper beginning or ending. I think that both the producers and director felt enough was enough and decided not to make either a prequel or sequel - it was just too stupid for words.
@@reggriffiths5769 What Charles forgets, is that the Nazi "modus operandi" before and during all of WW2 was also 'crass, stupid and beyond any intelligent thought'. Yet it happened and we still study it. Putting logic and analysis into a single episode of a great show like Combat! is as moronic as the point he "tried" to make.
