I was 13 years old when Combat hit the tv screen. I'm 73 now and I STILL enjoy watching these episodes. The battle and bombardment scenes were top notch, the acting was superb, and the stories, whether about battle situations or human interest were just nothing less than excellent. Maybe that's why I still watch the show here on You Tube

I absolutely idolized this wonderful program I began watching the series in 1962 I am now 70 Years Old and Im so happy that YOU TUBE is running all the episodes again May God Bless all the actors Vic Morrow the finest actor in the world Rick Jason like wise Peirre Peabody Carter and Kirby all of which I love and admire so much MAY GOD BLESS THE COMBAT TV SHOW

[@mawel1955]

I remember watching this as a kid back in 1963 and being scared to death that Cage would be discovered to be an American soldier when he attempted to cross the bridge with the baby and then being scared again when Saunders and the rest got caught in that artillery barrage. To watch a show like this as a little kid was quite an experience. You live through the episode, you get scared, you get happy, you almost cry. Looking back, it was a privilege to feel all of that by just watching a great TV show.

[@ShutupKirby-]

Lately now I have been watching one episode after another and I think I am getting more out of them than ever before....When you yourself have been a Soldier, and you cross many bridges through this life of ours, you look at a show like this from a far different perspective than you did as a small boy watching it...This show is rich....It is like old gold that just got rubbed off to sparkle yet again for for this Soldier, and I value these episodes, and lessons, more than ever...

At 61 having raised 5 children I feel that way watching any of the great old movies having watched them as a kid, now again approaching the elder years. Too bad my grand children won’t be able to watch quality shows like this on TV. Everything has turned to garbage with entertainment fir the last 25 years.

I watched this with my dad. I was 7 when it debuted. My dad enjoyed it because it was a tribute to the infantry and not the glamorous flyboys. After the show, he'd spread out a map of 1944 Europe and we'd trace the areas shown in the show that episode. I'll always be grateful to the show and my dad for teaching me about WWII.

[@Edgy01]

I too watched this show from the original airing in 1963 of the series. My father was one of those “flyboys” but their survival was worse than anyone could imagine. He was shot down on his forth mission and spent the next 5-1/2 months evading Kruts in occupied France.

"One more for the Road" [1963] First Season; Episode #29. When I saw this Classic Episode I realized that there is more to life than just war...The Baby represents "LIFE" and the Soldier represents "STRUGGLE, DEATH"...This is what made Combat such a unique Series. There are so many neat scenes with Cage and Sgt. Saunders with the baby you wonder in the back of your mind that under extreme conditions: "God" is still in control...The writing is excellent even if something like this never happened...The innocence of a baby, the raging madness of a war. Mankind must overcome it's violence and Killing...This cute little Baby shows that there is still hope for the Human Race...Glenn E.

The Sarge was most disturbed by the beauty of innocence of the infant in a world gone mad with war. I’ve heard horror stories from Vietnam Vets killing off villages during the Vietnam War in Veterans hospitals as a nurse in the 1990’s. Some I can not repeat. War does horrible psychological things to soldiers. This episode was most touching and common place with WW2 Veterans. The greatest generation of Americans the world will ever see.

One more great example of the acting skills of Vic Morrow.

He was actually carrying two little children in his arms, a little boy, and a little boy. All three died at the scene. This was a tragic foretelling of a life taken much too soon. But thank God we still have his wonderful performances to remember on film, forever. RIP, Vic Morrow, Renee Shinn Chan, and Myca Dinh Le.

This brings back a good memory of my best friend, and my youngest while she was still a baby. My friend was a street wise kind of guy. Had the reputation of being one of the toughest characters in town. Even had the obligatory broken nose as a testament to his toughness, and regular fighting. I came to my work place one day to get something from the store, I worked at a little neighborhood store in the worst neighborhood in town. My friend Kim was in the back parking lot talking with 3 or 4 very young wannabe tough guys. As I was getting my kiddo out of her car seat this pair off hands came out from behind me and grabbed my baby out of my hands. I had a fist doubled up and pulled back as I turned around, but it was no threat, it was friend Kim. He started said "Hi." to me then held my baby above his head and started talking to her. I looked over at Kim's tag along buddies. They all stared with very confused looks on their faces. Here was a guy they more or less idolized for being so tough, for his reputation of being the kind of guy you don't mess with, and he had forsaken their company to play with a baby.

This is one of them.

[@donshively9395]

I finally DID it! I searched ALL the episodes from the first, looking for when Kirby finally got his BAR! He was complaining about it in early episodes. He was supposed to get the BAR when their BAR man was killed around episode 8, I think. He was the ammo bearer. He knew how to service and use the weapon. They devoted a third of an episode as Kirby extolled the virtures of the Squad Automatic that surely HE would inherit. Then they dropped the issue for 10 or 15 episodes. Now, right here, at Episode 29, he "blink" appears with the BAR! Wow. My father was the BAR man during the Korean War, so this has been a "mission" for me. No explaination for the delay. He just pops up with it. Dad said that his shot so fast it was almost like a "single shot weapon" on full automatic. You could barely save any of the rounds in the 20 round magazine if you squeezed the trigger on full auto. "It cut things in half," he said. The armorer "took good care" of Dad's weapon he said. Good to know that in episode 29, Kirby finally gets his wish. Now, you guys sit back down and let me watch this masterpiece of early TV drama.

It was a disagreement that wasn’t resolved at the time. You know how you argue with some one and nobody wants to kiss and make up. And let’s just say it was hard to do that after her father was accidentally killed by the helicopter blade. I’m sure they both still love each other very much. Hate is so close to love. And love cannot be pushed away. Combat was always an excellent show. And the actress that plays in this is an great actress❤

[@RexJamesrex]

I grew up watching the show too. Fell in love with the Sarge and Kirby. My first real 'crushes'. I never forgave the network for not bringing the guys home. We invested so much in their lives overseas, it wasn't fair that we didn't get to see if they got home okay. I grew up to be a fanfic writer. I wrote a story that brought them back to the states. Funny how life goes in a circle. lol. You'll be glad to know, Sarge got a girl who worked on the Manhatten Project. She's just perfect for him and a redhead. I always got the impression...he kinda liked redheads.

Can a baby be a kraut?

Caj is a really good soldier. Could have used a man like that in my squad in Vietnam.

[@bananamango867]

Stephen Johnson I agree.. Hora!

[@jmacleve]

Love this ... esp. because Caje has such a big part in it! :)

[@frankhitch5080]

The good Samaritan comes to mind. They did the right thing. Interesting that the baby is German and the discussion they have. Good story.

Even men melt down I have taken in 8 and adopted two in my name. There is more to life than Money ,Good men and women show their hearts by helping others and taking in the weak, the crippled and ones that need guidance in this world. I praise the Men and Women that have shown thier hearts to all.. In short May God Bless us All Amen.

If I had a quarter for every time Saunders told Kirby to shut up.

[@jamesrichardson3322]

Lol 😂 Kirby ever shuts up!!, That why he always in trouble.

[@keithrissolo7437]

LOLOL....

[@patbackus7668]

I wonder what a real Sarge from the big one would have thought? Jeez once these guys went in weren’t they there till the end ? Man these guys went through hell ! God bless them ! And all Vets ! From the clerks to the doctors to the nurses ! Everyone one who’s ever put a uniform on for our Country ! God bless you all ! 🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@zacharycat603]

Watched this growing up and dad always made us turn it down. Maybe the shooting reminded him of his WW2 days.

[@sarataylor895]

The baby is so cute

[@krh2912]

As a kid, COMBAT was my favorite TV show, hands down! Our family didn't even have a TV, used to watch the show at a neighbor's house thru their screen door! (They'd usually invite me in to watch it tho). I'll be 69 yrs old in a few days, and I still love that show! ⁷

[@dehdeh55]

At 2:40 - 2:50 - good thing the BAR tended to fire high when hand held! Love the care to authentic detail.

[@theotterguy]

If you use your sights no matter how much a weapon climbs the first shot will hit your target.

[@jiraiyaaddams7592]

Wow, Kirby managed to go an entire episode without being an arse!

[@keithrissolo7437]

Kirby is a wise ass but deep down he's a good guy, a great Soldier, and he has guts...I probably would have told him to shut the hell up to a few times....

[@jamesrichardson3322]

Kirby got the STG Sanders change his mind in Kirby special way!! Running his mouth lol 🤣. Sometimes he doesn't know when shut up!!

[@isammolina4842]

Great Vic.👍💎💎💎💎💎

[@bradleyvogelsang6851]

Was watching this episode thinking how I never seen this one before and then that scene with Vic Morrow carrying the baby with the explosions from the bombs going off around him and I had a chill run down my spin

[@videomaniac108]

Good observation. I was just wondering myself, in watching earlier episodes, why I had not seen nor heard a MG 42, a fine weapon that served as the basis for the M 60 machine gun that we used in the army during the 60s.

[@folklorabcpodzvizd8381]

Nice move and touching my heart this episode

[@quynguyen-qn5mo]

Combat is the great movie forever for both the cast statement and stars performance

[@mishawakapost2681]

One of the soldiers resembles Miguel Ferrer, George Clooney's cousin and Rosemary Clooney's son, but he was only eight years old when this was filmed. Jennifer Jason Leigh, one of Vic Morrow's two daughters (born Jennifer Leigh Morrow) was born in 1962 but according to iMDb the baby was played by the Monroe twins. Vic divorced Jennifer's mother when Jennifer was two but they still worked together after the divorce.

[@11redlions]

+Mishawaka Post that was 1963, that baby is about 5 months, not one year,

[@gornhegemony5327]

+Marilyn Willett AHH! I CATCH YOU HERE MARYLIN.YOU CERTAINLY ARE EVERYWHERE.I STARTED WATCHING THIS CLASSIC SHOW FALL OF 88. WHAT MORAL LESSONS! HUH! IF I WAS A MILITARY MAN I WOULD RESCUE THAT BABY NO MATTER WHAT! SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TO SHOOT ME NOT TO.I KNOW MILITARY HISTORY,I ALSO KNOW MORALS.

[@TheEvilDrR]

I wonder if the "Jason" in Jennifer's name is a hat tip to dad's co-star Rick Jason.

[@theotterguy]

@@TheEvilDrR No she was born Jennifer Leigh Morrow her parents divorced when she was two.She changed her name early in her career to Jennifer Jason Leigh,the Jason was for Jason Robards a family friend.She was estranged from her dad till his death.
