This episode was so funny and the German actors performances were so good in this episode, especially Sasha Harden who played Capt Gemmerman, his acting was awesome! I love Lt Hanley, his performance is always so good and clever! And, of course, Braddock was so good and funny! I enjoyed watching this episode so much! Thank you so much for these episodes!

[@stephenjohnson4862]

This is a terrific episode. There is so much unrealistic in many episodes, but this one is exactly like the Army I knew.

[@Purrete]

+Stephen Johnson Unrealistic is the right word. I used to watch Combat! in Spanish while I was growing up in Argentina and somehow it always came to me that the American soldiers were smart and Germans were dumb. Was it part of a propaganda stint?

It’s funny. Growing up this was my brothers favorite tv show. And I secretly loved it too. I had crushes on both Rick Jason and Vic morrow. I loved watching it. He thought I hated the show but I didn’t. My brother served in the army in viet-nam. And my dad served in the Navy in wwII. And my mom worked for the uso. My only serving of the military was I dated Air Force officers. So did my mom until she met my dad. But we all thought this show was great!

I watched these as a little boy. Vic Morrow was my John Wayne.

[@elflingskitten]

Oh, thanks so much for posting this! It's been years since I watched this show and I'm trying to catch up. It's people like you that keep this series alive. More please? I've read many times that it was a shame when Shecky Greene left the show, and I see what they mean. Loved him and RJ in the opening scene and BTW, RJ in that scene, wow! His smooth voice, sunny smile, and perfect timing were so well done, he oozed unspoken menace, esp while skinning bits off a pencil with a sharp bayonet.

[@melcowznofski7261]

"The Prisoner" was the first of the annual Combat! 'Christmas' episodes (it aired on 12/25/62). Typically, they were off-beat in nature, and were strong on comedy. Next, watch for 1963's "The Party," which aired on Christmas Eve.

It took the Americans roughly one year to get from Normandy to what was then Czechoslovakia. This show was on for five years and they never got out of France. I liked Colonel Clyde. I've served under commanders like that. They kept us on our toes. Patton would have gotten after him for not wearing a helmet, though--at least the movie Patton would have.

I'm surprised Shecky Green's character, Braddock, didn't understand the Germans. He said, "farshtaste" which is Yiddish for "do you understand". Yiddish is about 90% German. I assume Greene is Jewish, most of that generation's comedians were. (Vic Morrow and Rick Jason were also Jewish).
