I'm in my 60's too. I was a boy and watched it with my Dad. It was special watching with him. He used to say to me with a smile, "the sergeant, he watches out for his squad". Just me opinion, but I think no actor cast for a role did it better than Vic Morrow. He has a couple of Emmy's for best actor in a recurring series. Kirby is the last living cast member!

That’s cause Kirby has been in the stockade since the war ended. He’s been jailed for insubordination and mouthing off to Saunders. Plus all the times his right arm and hand got wounded he’s been having lifelong issues with them and has been having therapy and rehab. He might get paroled in 2025. 80 years after the end of WWII. Just sayin …😅😂

I watched this series as a 6 year old. Interesting production note: The series was largely filmed on a Winery in Central California with orchards throughout. The owners agreed to explosions only if the crew would blow up a tree stump for each blast. Many of the blasts are actual tree stumps being destroyed. Another side note: Saunders hates guns in real life. Rick Jason brought rifles to the set and would offer to take him shooting when not filming. Vic Morrow always declined. Another side note: Little John always removes his helmet inside a Church. When a new Director told him not to he had a rage fit and almost quit. They left him [and his helmet] alone after that.

How refreshing to see all the episode's exterior scenes filmed at Thousand Oaks -- truly "opening up" the show -- and not on the over-used, already-seen-from-every-angle Franklin Canyon Reservoir and MGM backlots. The added production expense and time that resulted in the aerial views pays off magnificently. Act III: When the German officer's car finally outran the tank and Saunders sprayed the four occupants with waist level firing of his uncanny Thompson (accurate from any firing position and at any distance ; never requires reloading), the camera clearly shows the terminal damage to the enemy's radio on board. A key point. Yet, viewers don't witness whether all the fired-upon Germans' wounds were instantly fatal. In a similar, real life, war-time situation Saunders would have approached the vehicle and administered the coup de grace -- a grisly measure to insure information of their tank being commandeered by Americans isn't blasted all over the enemy's radio broadcast system. Presenting it "delicately," perhaps off camera, we could have heard the gunshot(s) from Saunders' pistol, "finishing off" the wounded. I suggest "off camera" because the fatal elimination -- and at point-blank range -- would be too graphic for many viewers, including too many parents sure to complain about disturbing their impressionable children's entertainment viewing. A fault: The grisly wounded American officer would have been experiencing shock by Act IV. And been less communicative. OR screaming for Saunders to administer a morphine shot. I like 'The Hell Machine''; it's within my personal "Combat!" Top Ten. Again, on behalf of fans, "thank you" to provider GR160289.

It was also broadcast in Japan in the 1960s. Of course, the voice actors said the lines in Japanese, so it wasn't until the 1990s that I first heard the voices of Vic Morrow and Rick Jason.

65. I watched this show with show with my Dad all the time. It was fun watching with him. He was in the 327th, 101st Airborne. If it was just him and I watching (had two older sisters, younger brother besides mom) he would point out things. Like this episosde "The Hell Machine". He said, "Well, that tank looks pretty scary. They all looked scary even while they were idling. But the Kraut tanks were more squat looking, different turret and wider tracks". Back then we just had encyclopedias or books. I finally found a paperback novel translated to English, written by his Aide de camp, "With Rommel In The Desert" it had a lot of black and white photos of the North African campaign with the Afrika Korps. Yup, their armor sure looked different.

You know Not 1 actor in this episode use a single swear word, not 1 !!! And it was still good. Just could never figure out at the end why Sgt. Saunders, smart as he was, didn't load and fire the tanks main gun when they pulled them out of the ditch. Could have destroyed it in one shot of course that would have meant the Riddler wouldn't have been able to make all those nice circles in the dirt driving the tank around but it would have been exciting to see them fire the main gun and take out that tank.

Over 100,000 from Eire fought to destroy Nazi Germany, and were treated very badly by the Republic Ireland Government, that many were forced to go back to Britain to get away from the hostility of their own Nation, after the war. Irish Goverment had a plan called operation starvation to exact revenge on their own citizens who fought against the Nazis. Please look it up. They were forgotten Hero’s.

I always loved Frank Gorshin! Growing up in the 50's and 60's he seemed like an old friend. Played such a great variety of Characters. As a young man he could play an ageless character in such Classics as "The Untouchables" and more. He is missed...

I thought I’d not seen this show before, but as soon as the title music came on I recognised it straight away.

I guess pushing that jeep over to get him out wasnt possible? I like how their trying to continuously talk to the captain. The guy is unconscious and has a jeep on him. How much convo are you going get from him?

Not a bad job making the tank look like a Panther. Looks good from a distance. As for the grenade destroying the panzer, if it hit on top of the engine compartment (which was very lightly armored) it's possible.....with luck and an open compartment door.
