Shows like combat , don't come around very offen . But when you do , LOOK OUT !! THEY HAVE PROVED OVER TIME HOW GOOD THE SHOW REALLY WAS . LONG LIVE COMBAT !!! TRUE AMERICAN HERO 'S
Episodes with storylines like this one show why we should have a Draft. Currently no one has to worry about their son, husband, father going to war unless they "volunteer". We'd be a lot more careful about ever even going to war if we thought our kids or brothers might get sent. Currently anybody with a freakin' clue can stay out of harms way if they choose. NOT if there was a Draft...
2:06 I doubt those two never had made together the basic training. Everyone there must have seen, keeping the Sportsman together with his trainer/manager (?) spells trouble.
Yep, those old Käfer ( Bugs in English ) were really something. My mother had an elder one The Car design was still Bauhaus but because of the run down econemy in Germany the Nazis were the first constructing a couple as a smoke screen ( Hitler had promised: for every Party Member a car like that - what a joke ) After all they used the factory in the new city WOLFSBURG, named indirectliy after Hitler - Wolf was his nickname among his " bodies " - yet every self respecting inhabitant of this metropole would deny that of course :) In fact all of the German army cars were there built secretly. After all by the Statuts of Versailles this was not allowed. This is also why the Volkswagen AG ( People´s Car if you translate it ) is still partly in the hand of the State on Nierdersachsen and not a totally private Company.
WOW,a kuebelwagen,first genuine German vehicle used in "Combatt",And the German machine-gunner remembered to flip up the front-sight.Should have mowed down the whole squad with the first burst.But then we would have more "Combat!"....
We were rarely defending territory but rather were advancing taking territory. So, rarely needed defended positions. Except for Bastogne where there were plenty of machine gun emplacements.
To *VariousVideos2012* Did you ever consider how awkward it is to follow these episodes in chronological order on RU-vid? And you chop-up these episodes into ~15 minute slots! ??? Completely destroying the enjoyment of watching one of the best war series ever made. . I'm stuck with it, because I want to see this series through, but this is a really unprofessional way to upload old TV videos. I'll subscribe and continue to 'like', but I only do so to keep track of what I've watched thus far.
