COMBAT! s.2 ep.6: "The Wounded Don't Cry" (1963)

[@bluesdown2964]

Back in 1963 I watched every episode of combat with my brother and Dad . Combat was one of the best shows of all times ! Vic Morrow and the rest of the crew were a perfect match for the show !!! Absolutely 💯 percent the best show ever !!!

[@t.j.payeur5331]

Yeah, me too...

[@priscillamurphy7229]

My Dad might've watch this, my mother was anti-war shows and movies as a general rule and would not allow them on if I was in the room (or the house). I would have been 3 or 4 when this aired

The Wounded Don't Cry-- one of the best human dramas in the series. The writers and producers, the casting director and all those involved, as well as the splendid actors, made Combat what it was, and what it always will be on the screen-- nothing short of brilliant!

Just incredible how TV shows back then were so great and told human/morality stories worth listening to....and it's not a coincidence that most people growing up from this time frame (early sixties) have turned out pretty good. Hopefully the new generations will appreciate the type of great stories and learn life lessons from the directing/quality/writing/acting from that great TV era :)

[@willoughby1888]

Interesting that you should say what you did, and why. The 60's were the birth of the sexual revolution and not many said they wanted to adhere to the previous generation. The people of the 60's wanted to be free, and do as they pleased. They sometimes looked at those who came before them as fuddy duds, and hard-working fools. Why work if you can sell pot or paint paintings, weave macramé and deck the walls with blacklight posters? That's not to say they didn't turn out pretty good though. They wanted to change the world, and they did. People today call them "boomers" and look down on them, claim the world would have been better if the boomers had been just like they are. This generation is the most "anything goes", criticizing one I've known or heard of. They sell a lot of coffee though.

Sgt. Saunders had to battle against his own sense of humanity almost as much as he had to battle against the Germans, knowing that going soft can get you killed. I guess you could say that he was fighting a two front war sometimes.

Some great close-up scenes. The best action scenes were the dialogue between the two sergeants. An excellent Combat. Carl Boehm also gone in 2014.

The Germans in WW2 didn't have large banks of blood supplies such as whole blood or blood plasma that they could supply to front line medical units. Instead they relied on blood transfusions in the field. It was a significant problem for them.

[@StoneShards]

Saunders took no notice of Cage's amusement that Sarge tossed a kraut grenade that blew up his own radio! That was funny.

[@unclemikeb]

Wow. Halfway through I thought sure the German who spoke English was leading them into a trap. The sarge is always right about human nature. He WAS right about the German planning to escape, but he really did want to bring back the plasma. So the sarge was only half right. But after all the crap he has witnessed he had NO reason to trust any German. It's hard to know if sarge would have shot him in the back. Maybe he could have just kept walking and got away. After they found the plasma the sarge knew the German was at least right about that. There were lots of Germans in the regular army who were just ordinary people caught up in a mess they didn't start. Many of them who were taken to the US as POW were model prisoners and actually made friends with some Americans, I have heard stories of some who later immigrated to the US after awhile. I worked with an Italian who did that. He didn't want to go back after he saw how modern the US was. He was a POW in a camp not far from Rockford, IL. He became a trustee and made friends with people in town when they escorted him to get supplies. He was amazed by how modern it was with electricity, telephones, running water, Didn't have that in the village he came from. He didn't want to go back but Geneva convention requires it to prevent POW from being held. He said he begged to stay. They couldn't even let him sign papers saying he wanted to stay. It only took about two years for him to save up enough money to come back, He settled in Rockford, got work and rented an appt. LOL
