COMBAT ! S04 E06 Evasion

[@piercemartin4499]

This is an outstanding episode. Tension filled start to finish. Rick Jason was always excellent in these individual parts.

Thanks Duke for all these great Combat episodes.

[@caseyj.1332]

My favorite show as a kid, still a great show 60 years later. My favorite is Kirby... gripes constantly but a good soldier.

[@manuelbermudez211]

I’m surprised that he didn’t spend the war in the stockade somewhere in England …

[@dindinprivate3477]

Would have appreciated a part 2 to show Lt. Henley's return to the American lines.

[@deborahlangnese7645]

Lloyd Bochner great actor Always loved his voice. He is probably playing a German. But he is a British soldier in hiding. Cool.

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

Thanks! I enjoy watching them all.

"Sentiment has killed more than one amateur." In the context of war and life, some words to ponder.

[@garypmarquis]

I remember this episode from some 30 or so odd years ago. Good to see it it again. Still relavent. GPM.,

[@joelhenderson802]

When I saw " Evasion"' recently I was impressed when Lt. Hanley was walking down the street in that kraut town and he was dressed in that Albanian uniform, and those kraut soldiers saw him and wondered who he was. Also when that young kraut soldier was speaking kraut to him on board the train. Again Lt. Hanley looks more sharp in his U.S. Army uniform.

[@rogerlynch5279]

" SPEAKING KRAUT " - Ojehmineh, was für eine Art von Deutsch zu reden. :)

Thanks for the show Combat. Its very good.

[@laurenstygar7996]

I enjoy the show. One of the best is" Hills are for Heroes". I know I would chose warrior over anything else. There's this death that has to stay elusive for the splendid concentration. I don't like distractions. It made itself special in this episode. Take care. Laur

[@davidharden8646]

for as much as rick and vic have been captured and wounded, they must have a gazillion medals

[@DonFahquidmi]

On another thread, one poster suggested that it would take a deuce and a half to cart their medals. I'm advancing the theory that it would take an entire troop ship to cart Hanley, Saunders, Kirby, Caje, Little John, and DOC back home with all of their awards and decorations.

[@doginstine]

It comes from the old Combat! fan web site.

[@tss77]

Keep this in mind while watching its one thing to attempt an escape,if caught out of uniform Axis or Allied you would be shot as a spy.

[@robinstewart6510]

If caught attempting to escape, you'd likely be shot anyway.

[@christopherfranklin1881]

It is pretty clear the outside shots were not done in the MGM backlot. Looks a lot like France.

[@theChickenstones]

It was France. The producers sent a team to France to collect a lot of outside footage scenes for series four. They wanted Morrow and Jason to go too but wouldn't pay them their requested fee to do so, thence all the shots of them are at distance with stand in actors. The rest was filmed back in California. (Often around imported Australian Gum trees just to confuse things even more ! I'm an Australian and I recognise them. It was a failed business venture in California earlier last century ! )

[@rododendron968]

Yeah and at the begining u can see the Chateau de Chenonceaux the castle from where he was evading before jumping in the water

Finally, the first specific episode I remember. I remember the Hitler Youth puzzling over an improvised Albanian uniform. I did not reassociate the Combat! aspect. Funny too, I remember LT, Sarge, Caje, Doc and Littlejohn. But not Kirby.

Why are they kept prisoner in a luxurious chateau ? Why do they have access to all the materials necessary for a successful escape ?

[@larrylucas8385]

Baskerville22 my thoughts exactly!!

[@dindinprivate3477]

Castles were often used for officer prisoners. Think Colditz for instance. The materials used were improvised. The uniform is made of torn up blankets, the ink home made and so on.

[@bebereyes5514]

Because the nazis were the most humane of the axis lot.

[@pigalleycatemanresu7321]

Captured officers generally had good prison conditions. The father of a friend, a French officer captured in 1940, always said that his time as a prisoner were the best four years of his life!. This castle is not in Germany, it is in France in the Loire valley.

What an absurd story. I couldn't make it past Hanley floating down river. Where were the American pows housed? It looked more like a fraternity house. No guards. Where did they get materials for the uniform, travel documents, ID, etc? climbing down a rope made of garments in broad daylight. One guard outside with his back turned. Really. What happened to semi realistic scripts?

[@charlieindigo]

Of the two dozen episodes I've watched, this one really has reached the absolutely lowest limits of credibility!The writers, producers and director deserve no credit whatsoever for a storyline that was crass, stupid and beyond any intelligent thought. The acting was pretty juvenile, the story without proper beginning or ending. I think that both the producers and director felt enough was enough and decided not to make either a prequel or sequel - it was just too stupid for words.

[@reggriffiths5769]

@Mike Urashevich Made for unintelligent, mindless juveniles - people like yourself. Good that you let the world know your level of stupidity.

[@aliasdyln33]

​@@reggriffiths5769 What Charles forgets, is that the Nazi "modus operandi" before and during all of WW2 was also 'crass, stupid and beyond any intelligent thought'. Yet it happened and we still study it. Putting logic and analysis into a single episode of a great show like Combat! is as moronic as the point he "tried" to make.
