    I was 7 in 1974 when we stumbled on this show on TV and I fell in love with it immediately. Me and my friends started our own war games and my country Nigeria 4 years earlier ended her civil war and there were still soldiers patrolling the streets as at that time. The show captured it all for little fellas like us that time. And for years I watched combat , bought different pocket WW2 comics , magazines until I was 11 and the show was cancelled on TV and thus ended my seeing it. Until now I had always imagined and prayed to see old episodes of Combat again . As an African this show got me interested in the history of WW2 and each day I read anything about the war I remember Combat and the smart Sgt. I could had given my arms to see the reruns until today when something told me to check RUclips and voila here I am and at 55 years old I'm seeing what I had been craving for, for more than 44 years after I watched the last episode on TV . Its so incredible, unbelievable. I'm so, so happy seeing the episodes here again even if I can't remember as they went again except the faces most especially the Sgt , the Lt and Kirby. Thank you RUclips as I'm reliving my youth again. Thank you again I'm so happy .

    My grandson was going off about how he would have hated to have grown up with B&W television and maybe only 3 stations available to watch. Then I showed him a couple of these episodes. Now he feels sorry for himself for growing up in these times. Thank God RUclips is around to keep this show alive and available to yet another generation of kids. There were other great shows back then but this was the best and I think always will be the best show on TV. We're too woke to have shows like this today. How sad!

    As a baby boomer, Vietnam Vet, 4th generation service member, and a military historian, I never tire of Combat, 12 O’clock High or Rat Patrol. And it’s not just because it’s about American G.I.s. No matter who’s military is being depicted, the fear and the bullets are all the same. A good example is the very authentic 1981 German film, Das Boot. A good storyline, good acting, excellent special effects, and attention to detail, makes Das Boot, Combat and others watchable time-after-time, and never gets old.

      If you have not seen it, watch the 1969 film 'Battle of Britain' with an all British cast, and authentic WWII airplanes were flown in the film with real pilots. No special effects or CGI (which was not created yet in 1969) at all. I saw it in the theater when first released when I was 13. It is uploaded on RUclips. And many thanks for your service in the military.

He was a fine actor at everything he played. A fine performance here & one great series i watched as kid in the early 60s. As good today as it was when it aired. As so many of these actors are gone now we remember them & give thanks to the super job they all did for this show.

I remember him saying that this TV show was the most realistic of anything there was on TV. He liked watching it, which surprised me after all he had been through. He passed away 3years after retirement of a heart attack. He was 39 years old.

      I'm sorry to hear about your dad, my condolences. As for the authenticity, it may well have been the most accurate thing on TV in the early 1960s but I expect that was a pretty low bar. One of my friends recently retired from the Canadian Armed Forces after a long career there and he told me that one of their activities when back at base and relaxing was to watch war movies and TV series about war and see how they present it. The vast majority of the time, they found huge errors and were rolling their eyes at how INACCURATE they were. One of the rare exceptions was Band of Brothers, which I loaned him. He rated the authenticity on that very high. (I don't think I ever asked him about Combat!) While most shows have technical advisers, directors frequently disregard what they have to say in the interests of the story. If the way something is really done is slow and involves lots of people, it's probably going to be very time-consuming and expensive to film so the director will devise a shortcut that lets one or two cast members do some alternative thing very quickly that appears to accomplish the same effect. It's not that they want to be deceptive, it's just that they've got to contain costs to stay within a budget and if that means sacrificing some accuracy, they usually will.

    watched with my dad who was a tanker in ww2. Thank goodness he transferred out of the ronsons( shermans) and was put in a "priest" M7 modified as a tank destroyer. The 105 could really wreak havoc on panthers and tigers but relied on speed due to very little armor and could not absorb a direct hit. tradgedy surrounded this well acted and written show. Jeffrey Hunter died in 69 due to an onset accident. Vic Morrow of course died in the Twight Zone movie and Rick Jason committed suicide i believe around 2000. Such sadness from a much loved show from the 60s,never to be repeated.

    A great 1960’s show I never miss an episode. It didn’t glorify war. It showed it From a human Point of view . Jeffrey hunter was great in this episode. I always wished the episode had a more happy ending for him. But it was a message about him finding his Faith ... This show was very well written and acted by everyone. I have the dvd series. Jeffrey Hunter was a very good actor who perhaps didn’t get the credit he deserved.

      Not exactly. Storyline is he was still a 6th yr. seminarian. 1917 Our Lady Of Fatima warned "...when you see a strange light illumine the sky, know that a second worse war will come..." My father -dad- saw that Jan25 1938. I recorded his talk before he RIP. Much of the press reported on this at the time including N.Y T. Today 'lost sheep sheperds' are wrecking the church and society with it, far more than any typical physical war. Similiarly, "What's their problem'?
      Them. They don't think they're good enough, so they hate, hate their Mother. Mea culpa with meaning - can be the most difficult words to say- confess. For many of us...

After the show, my friends & I would go to the field across the street & play soldiers with wooden sticks as rifles. I loved the theme music & the characters. I came to the states in 72 and joined the navy, wanted to play soldier, er, sailor. RIP Vic Morrow.

Bang, bang...who was Saunders, who were the Germans.. I remember being all dejected one afternoon, going home and telling my mother how I had, had to "surrender".. I don't remember too many kids playing army much after 1966.

    Always loved this show as a kid. Very gritty and real...with a few exceptions, which are the writers' fault. Apparently the only thing the writers knew about the war in Europe was that it was fought by the US Army! Because the unit portrayed in the series, the 361st Infantry, never fought in France! The 361st fought in Italy as part of the 91st Infantry Division! I am surprised the technical advisers let them get away with that. all in all...a great series!

    So many negative comments about the equipment used it was a TV show...the comments about tanks and machine guns..the germans still used alot of watercooled machine guns in
    WW2 as well as mg34s and mg42s.
    By the time of this series most Sherman's had been sold off to other nations or had been left for scrap in Europe and the far east.
    The US Military didnt ship alot of Heavy ordinance Machinery back after the war... the M4 Sherman's for all practical purposes were outmoded by the end of the war being replaced by the M26 Pershing
