I'll only add my one observation to what other reviewers have already done so well: Littlejohn's constant complaining and childish petulance worthy of a 5 year old was tantamount to insubordination and annoying to this viewer. He constantly questions Sgt Saunders orders, glares at him to show how much he disapproves and on more than one occasion directly disobeys specific orders that were crucial to maintaining the safety of the squad. If you have not seen this episode I won't reveal what the good sergeant Saunders decides to do about Littlejohn.
So after over 50 years of watching Combat!, I still feel it was the finest semi-documentary style tv series about the post-D-Day experiences of our typical US soldiers, both heroes and regular Joe's just wanting to survive while eliminating the evil menace to the worlds freedom loving democracies and their citizens.
Im still a huge fan of this show that I watched with my father from its beginning when I was 13 years old. And without a doubt it was another big quality production and typically well acted episode of COMBAT!
