Coburn and Lee Marvin two great actors doesn't get much better than that 👍
My dad was A WW2 veteran of the Italian campaign. 36th Division Company M heavy weapons platoon. I grew up totally obsessed with WW2 and this show. He would watch it with me and I would ask questions which he would answer but only in vague terms. Later on in life he became much more open about it to me (no one else in the family was interested). He was my hero. We lost him in 2001 and I miss him every day.
We honor your Father and thank him posthumously for his service. Rest In Peace
RIP
My brother was with co(k143rd) North Africa, to France worded died of those wonds 1945
I love,loved all those WW2 Dad's I'm a baby boomer that grew up in Eastern,N.C.where there were Tens of Thousands of them
@@scotttyson8661 We owe them so much
And just like the episode with Lee Marvin this is the quality you get when you put a movie star presence in an episode of Combat.
Combat, was my everything show as a kid. I was 7-12 when this ran, and me and my friends loved it!
You couldn't get a better series than Combat I grew up watching this for UK viewers it second to none a brilliant mustn't miss and even decades later never been bettered.😁

The Rat Patrol was also a good sitcom
WW2 in North Africa
Facing the Desert Fox
True combat was one of the best TV shows ever
any episode with James Coburn has got to be great.
One of my favorite "Combat" episodes - James Coburn was a talented actor.
Doc..after the war became a corporate pilot...Doc was one of my favorites in this series..all of these guys were great actors..and seemed real to a young lad who watched this every week with my family..better times for sure..
That the Germans were "not suckers" was also intended irony. This show had great acting, direction, production and writing--perhaps the best on television week after week--ever.
Love it in the 1960's and is still holds its own today.
Combat was my all time favorite show I have the complete series on DVD
Searched and searched for something to watch on YT ended up back here watching all 5 seasons for the second time. Nothing else comes close to "Combat" as far as WW2 shows
great episode, interesting storyline, great acting!
There are so many great episodes in this series, peopled by supremely quality actors, many of which were in the early stages of their careers. Love this series!!

I was a young teen but my dad having served in the WW2 watched this every week..
😙Cc C
Yes, yesterday watched one with Lee Marvin! Great show!
Excellent episode indeed. I've been binge watching off and on for the last four days, on to the next ep.
i was just 8/9 years old when i watch the first Combat movie and after more than 40 years watch them on youtube...almost all the episodes...awesome...thanx...
😊😅
Great episode!! James Coburn is a great actor and played the Kraut part to a T... Combat often had excellent casting for their guest stars. Good stuff!
My newly discovered favorite show came out before I was born
Best combat episode ever put out on TV. My brother and I were given a used black and white TV from my dad. We grew up on a Michigan farm with 10 brothers and sisters. My dad worked delivering furniture in the winter in Flint, Michigan. Flint had put a tax on people working and not living in Flint in the early 60s.
You bring back memories bro
Thank you for the upload.
This TV series was my main motivation for taking three years of German language classes in High school (1967-1970)
a skill set that served me well during my Cold War tour of duty in Nuremberg 1976-1979)
I'm sorry to hear that. I was never motivated to talk like a Nazi. In fact it was the complete opposite. As all of the US Soldiers felt.
@@RichardM333 Maybe u don't know but COMBAT is set in WW2.
Just watched Lee Marvin in Combat ,Now James Coburn Awesome. Thank you to Everyone that downloads these Shows.
They had alot of great guest stars. As alot of comments have been made, which I agree, these episodes felt like a movie.

Don’t like him saying huba huba I like to put shoe in his ass huba huba
Coburn always had how own style, he was really good in the magnificent seven.
Even better in Cross of Iron 1977.
Agreed.
That’s the best western I’ve seen.
@@Russia-bullies /
Good episode. Well written, acted and directed. Coburn was something.
This plot has been used a few times in Combat , though I enjoy each one since each is different and the credibly of the guest star in this case James Coburn comes off good . Thanks for posting these episodes .
But it also was a real problem in the War. There were many German soldiers trained this way
Naturally to work as spies or as units to work havoc in the American front lines.
Another fantastic episode.When tv was excellent.
I know I grew up playing Army as a kid, and was always Sgt Saunders. Great show, I still love watching it.
My father was in WWII. He passed away last November. I miss him. He was my hero.
My Dad was a WWII vet also passed they were the greatest generation
Mine too, amazing life cause everything after that had to be better! He passed away last November @ 90 a few weeks before his 91st.
thank you for his service. RIP your dad. my father passed in 1977. he was born 1912. he was used to docking ships and transporting freight in ny harbor. dad was essential to the war effort. he would be 107 yeas old had he lived
May he know peace . . . .
YEAH, I KNOW THE FEELING

Great last line! "Suckers..."...perfect delivery!
They depict a scouting patrol at times involved in special operations. I never appreciated how well made these episodes were until later years vi morrow and Rick Jason were great. They filmed using I believe Kodak 2500 film that's why they are clear great camera man used special techniques with small camera Glad they filmed 5 years worth.
My dad was in WW11 Army I miss my dad great series of combat
allways a pleasure finding james coburn pieces I haven't discovered
thank you for uploading
Who would dislike this masterpiece?
A kraut
Coburn had starred in "Hell is for Heroes" the year before this. He's a natural playing a GI.
Yes, he rigged a Jeep to sound like a tank……
Coburn did this and The Great Escape in same year. Morrow would have fit right in with that crowd
THE GREAT ESCAPE is also a favorite of mine. Mostly it was shot in GRÜNWALD outside of Munich, at the railroad stations in Tegernsee were I grew up, in Schaftlach and near Rosenheim at the Chiemsee
.
Pre famous Coburn! You can see what acting chops he has! Loved him as Tex in Charade same year as this.
Or the renegade US Army MAJ in the Old Man in the Cave on TZ . . . .
I believe The Great Escape had already been released before this episode aired.
As usual James Coburn did an excellent job along with the others.
James played one cold dude. "Suckers" as Sarge is being helped. Excellent.
My favorite episode: "Masquerade" with James Coburn. I love when Vic Morrow mocks him and says "yeah-hubba hubba hubba." 🙂
Great video, great acting. I imagine filming in 1963 there was lots of origninal war equipment for both the US and Germans to use in filming. The action is more realistic than many epic films.
Thanks for sharing. Watching from European Union, Lithuania.
Ich schaue aus die Europäische Union, Litauen.
Die schöne Episode.
The great episode.
enjoyed the series.didnt see many of when i was a kid,my was in ww 2 passed 2006 miss him always..godbless to all fighting men/women past/present...
James Coburn is excellent in this one!
James Coburn and Lee Marvin are one in the same. Long lost brothers??
They star together in one tv show--M Squad the episode is called "The Fire Makers".
He plays a truly detestable pathological narcissist (NPD) psycho... this brand of subhuman actually enjoys pulling the wool over the eyes of those who are truly more complete/better humans... this episode was a bit more difficult for me to watch than the other super-great Season 2 episodes, as i've recently become somewhat expert in exposing a manipulative covert malignant NPD "significant other" in my life. NPDs are truly worthless people - go NO CONTACT ASAP.
Coburn was excellent in everything he did! PFC James Coburn USMC WWII
LOVE James Coburn, HATED he was a German spy!!!!!
The American soldier at the road block played in that Star Trek episode with the salt eating monster.
Gunsmoke and Combat were 2 shows I never missed when I was kid..
Saunders lost his magic machine gun that shoots 450 rounds in one magazine. He never carries extra clips now he will receive his 24th Purple Heart. I’m 70 years old and still love this show. God bless Vic Morrow.
I'm pretty sure it is closer to 650 rounds. I did actually see him change a clip in one episode. I was shocked!
Coburn was one of my favorite actors. Cross of Iron was one of the best WW2 movies out there.
Cross of Iron was just as good as A Bridge too Far. 1977. Real T-34,s.
I'm from a Military Family, may I Pay my Respects, in your Dad's case His actions Changed are History!! Thank you .. a Great man!!
At the 28:28 mark is none other than Rocky Maciano!
WOW!
I haven't watched Combat since I was a kid back in 63!
This was a great TV show.
"Huba-Huba"......"Yeah,I'll have a cup of *JAVA* " hahahha
I always liked how they switched up between Rick and Vic on who was starring that week.
Writers always gave Vic better lines and screen toime.
Better screen time
I heard this statement a long time ago. Jason was a movie star while Morrow was an actor.
Combat always had great stories. Watched this show many times. After my Army days I found hundreds of ways to find to have suspicion of the unconvincing stories the Germans made. Even the Sargent thought the use of hubba-hubba was odd.
Number one he repeated he wanted to go to Battalion. Then he said four numbers that meant nothing. What Battalion? Should have said he needed to go to the TOC. The Tactical Operations Center. Each Battalion in a Regiment has a number. Should have had a Division patch on the left shoulder. Say if he had the Division patch of the 3rd Infantry Division, but, he's in the 4th Armored Division area. And the 3rd Infantry Division is 800 miles away. Going to be real hard to convince anybody with that.
At position 10:14 the Lieutenant responded with "a cup of Java." After the Sargent offered a cup of coffee. Should have responded with "a cup of Joe" instead. Yes a cup of is a cup of coffee, but, Americans don't use Java. He could have even said "a cup of high test." Coffee is either with caffeine or decaffeinated. Caffeine coffee is "high test" and decaffeinated is "unleaded." I reference to grades of gasoline. Decades ago all gasoline had tetraethyl lead. In the 1970's to 1980's the lead was gradually removed. No longer available today. The High test gasoline had the highest octane rating. As more automobiles became available to run on unleaded gasoline. The term unleaded was used to describe gasoline without lead. High test and unleaded became a interesting way to describe coffee. They did have unleaded automobiles during the WW-2 era.
Just two of the many ways for me to see right through the German spy's attempt to appear to be American.
I remember that one. Loved the show
Fantastic episode! Combat: best tv series ever made.
Lee Marvin and James Coburn are very similar actors. Sometimes I even got them confused. But I love them both.
Because they both were good tough bad guys or so it seemed
This show was on when I was very young but so long ago I don't remember a single one. So it's like seeing them for the first time.
funny thing is that i am 23 year old now watch these with mine dad
love watch old shows
This episode was very well acted and stands out as one of the best ones. James Coburn is very convincing as a covert German infiltrator, devious and menacing throughout...and with those teeth!
Adam excellent observation, Great Shoo!!
Sgt. Saunders ! What a Hero . This is a very good episode , plenty of suspense and enough action to satisfy the taste for real battle .
What a dumb comment!! You think war is fun and adventurous? Do you really believe a battle is something you acquire a taste for? If so, you're a psycho as well as being dumb as dirt. It's fucking morons like you who have made America the murderous terrorist country it is today. Just enough brains not to shit your pants...
alden21 . Talking of dumb comments . This is a T.V. series designed to entertain , and I was merely commenting on the entertainment value of this episode . I have served in the Army , I know how to fire a sub machine gun and take it to bits and put it back together . I have stood on parade in the cold with snow capped mountains all around . I watch War documentaries a lot and I despise War myself for the senseless carnage that is shown , but when there is conscription and you have no choice but to go out and fight then so be it .
Is that what reading books and watching movies has taught you about war?
I'm here for the entertainment .
Hi, yes I know what you mean, but for me this episode was about cowards, (especially James Coburn's character) dressed up as US troops killing other US troops, like the Ambulance driver and the last US soldier on the hill, rather than any "battle", etc. I totally understand why they executed any German soldiers who wore US uniforms during the Battle of the Bulge, as there's something very "dirty" about it, they don't get treated as POW's.
Rocky Marciano was the only undefeated boxing champion in any weight division (until Joe Calzaghe retired 46-0 in 2009). At the end of his career he was 49-0, with 43 of his victories coming by knockouts. Rocky made his boxing debut in 1947 at the age of 24 in Holyoke, Massachusetts, by knocking out Lee Epperson in the third round. He went on to fight such legends as Joe Louis and Jersey Joe Walcott. On September 23, 1952, in Philadelphia, Marciano KO'd Walcott in the 13th round to win the Heavyweight Championship of the World. He fought his last boxing match on September 21, 1955, knocking out "The Mongoose" Archie Moore in the ninth round at Yankee Stadium. He announced his retirement on April 27, 1956. On August 31st, 1969--the eve of his 46th birthday - Marciano was killed in an airplane crash. Although he's been gone more than 30 years, he's still revered today as one of the greatest fighters in the sport. His cameo appearance, uncredited, soldier meeting ambulance.
An interesting piece of information. Thank you! :)
Yup. I spotted him right away!
Vic Morrow was a perfect fit for Combat!
THANKS for uploading! I have watched so many thanks to you! I use to watch these with my Dad when I was a kid.
Me too . My dad and his 2 brothers were in ww2. I was young snd in the begining and endind credits I would get up to the tv and touch the spots where the explostions hit. Always the same order then the bayonets.
My dad was at Normandy. These were the best shows when I was a kid.
A superior television show.
Here we go again. Saunders belt with his 1911, canteen, ect; is taken but he does not retrieve it before escape/evasion. WTF?. Coburn: Masterful and unique actor, as always, a pleasure to watch onscreen...RIP
+Hank West That drives me crazy, too. Behind enemy lines with no weapon. Go figure!
At 19:00 Coburn even eats ruthlessly, like an animal devouring it's prey.
James Coburn was a great actor! --> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Coburn
I've seen so many of these episodes, I hum the theme music in my sleep.
Quality Show; Thanks!
james Coburn was amazing actor he assumed the role totally,i liked him in Fistfull of Dynamite 1970-71
You should watch the original Magnificent Seven.
Thank you for your Dad's service. My dad couldn't join the service. He had flat feet and an bad sight just like me. This is why I thank everyone since my dad couldn't serve in WWII. He would have been 115 years old this November.
Episode 3 of season 2 and another hugely important facet of Sergeant Saunder's character as portrayed by Vic Morrow comes through plain as day: a sixth sense, a Crystal ball, call it what you will that allows him to see through smoke screens as credible as they may seem that he cannot buy. It works both ways. True honesty and integrity, he senses it right away. The opposite, he picks up on little by little until it sews doubt in his mind and he begins asking questions. Even Lieutenant Hanley at one point checks with Battalion. I happen to know someone very much like the character that Vic Morrow plays and
it is truly uncanny how true to life Vic Morrow's "personnage" is. No sucker him or such people. Man or Woman, it makes no difference even though such a Woman, people find her as having "masculin" (very strong qualities) Both the writing and Vic Morrow's portrayal bring out a very real human being. Merci pour le téléchargement.

Great review of the episode.
Only two minor remarks:
1. "...until it sews doubt in his mind..." - sows not sews (as in planting)
2. masculine =
No spell checker?
Iain Schof
It's called ( From a Sgt Rock Comic book I read ) CBA " Combat Antenna " ^_^ ,but 6th sense is good or CBI Combat Instinct .
Coup d'e oil, an ability to see how something might go at a glance . . . . .
Saunders must have a suitcase full of Purple Hearts.
Coburn, one of my favorites. He and Charles Bronson, both in Combat!, both in the Great Escape and Magnificent Seven
My very favorite episode. Especially the "sucker" ending.
Kirby may do a lot of griping, but he's good to have by your side in combat.
He is like Private Kitsch in Zulu!
This is the serial I m watching from 10 yrs old and my favourite actors too.send my regards to our Doc. N kirby who is in his ripe age
Lt.Hanley,Sgt.Saunders,Caje,Little John,Kirby,Doc.,What else,COMBAT!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👍👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👍👍👍👏👏👍👍👏👍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👏👏👍👍👏👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A melhor série de filme que já assisti. Muito bom e lembro da década de 60. Hélio portela Brasil
I saw "Masquerade" back in 1963, and I liked how Sgt. Saunders (Vic Morrow) suspected these two krauts impersonating American soldiers from the beginning. The kraut James Coburn played didn't fool Pvt. Kirby when he pulled out that bloody piece of paper either.
Loved “ Combat “ !!!! Just watched Coburn in “ Midway “ this morning……another GREAT war epic.
To those who didn't get the "suckers" remark by Saunders at the end: It's the flip side of the trusting quality of Americans, that the dead character of Coburn had just derided. Germans were much too skeptical to be taken in, Coburn suggested, but that trustfulness is also the quality that saves Saunders when he can't speak. So sarcasm, the good kind.
if germans were to skeptical to be taken in, then how did a one nutted paper hanger from austria talk them all into starting another world war? hitler smooth talked enough of them into following him to nearly destroy their whole country and to still have a lot of hatred toward them from all over the world today.
@@earlnelson836 Churchill started the war.
One of favorite TV show of my grandfather he always remember
When he was a ww2 soldier....
I have to add thanks for these uploads great viewing during this quarantine !!
saunders vs a kraut james coburn - it doesn't get any better
What a plot--German imposters trying to find Sgt. Saunder's Bn Hq. Germans did indeed masquerade as American soldiers in Europe in WW2. Nevertheless, Sgt. Saunders had them pegged early on and managed to stop the last one. As always, every episode delivers, from start to finish.
Could talk about (our man flint) Coburn indefinitely, just like I could (black board) Morrow with so many favorites of his also.
Great episode.
Vic Morrow was a very under rated actor! It’s a shame how is career didn’t take off more after the Combat series was canceled
The SUITS didn't like that Vic spoke up
@@kathymcmahon6582 I’m definitely sure of that Kathy. I think Vic Morrow should have had a star on the walk of fame. Awesome actor, really a shame how he was screwed over like he was.
@@oldtimeoutlaw DEFINITELY
@@kathymcmahon6582 Thank you Kathy good to know there are other Vic Morrow fans still here!
@@oldtimeoutlaw I wish Vic got to know this and the others. It's so typical for fools to tell US what we want when WE know what WE want and ppl still deny us. So busy just lining their pockets and giving US garbage!!! That includes the gvmt and big business as well!! All these greedy ppl just want for themselves!!! What they don't get is that what goes around comes around!!!
I like actor James Coburn!!
Rocky Marciano at 28.28. "Man, you oughta retire before you kill someone." Yep, it's really him, and they gave him a line with some irony.
How come no credit?
He should of had a bigger part . I bet all the other actors were getting his autograph .
Maybe afraid of getting hit!😎🥊
Thanks for uploading these!
I love you... I have beeb looking for someone who has all of Combat! Thank you!!
Apparently the squad never watched 'Cross of Iron'...then they'd have known that Coburn was a kraut...
LOL
That's a good one.
By this episode, Sgt Saunders has reached his 18th purple heart!
+KurtB Kirby has more than that. Now for a little tale. In Nam one of my Company Commanders was entitled to ten. He refused to report the wounds. Corpsman did it and did not report it. Had a Sgt with 6 same thing. It happens.
That goes on today. Read "Joker 1", as book on the Marines in Ramadi, Iraq. Most of those men could have received a half-dozen PH. TY for your service.
@@snakewrithing The opposite of a squirrel like John Kerry who reported all three of his paper cuts.
@@snakewrithing The problem was they took people off the line after a certain number, it got then-LTC Hackworth out in the one battalion he had in the Delta in '69 or so.
I have lost count.
Just love this one with James Coburn, he did a great job. But no matter how slippery his character was, he was up against ole Sarge, not to be outdone with his Thompson.
Saunders was great when he went one on one with James Caan who played a German sergeant. Cat-and-mouse the entire way but Sarge won. Anatomy of a Patrol
One really good episode thanks
This was TV at one of its greatest periods. Add in all the westerns of the 50s and 60s as well as the cop shows and it beats the crap out of what's on TV nowadays hands down. We didn't know how good we had it and who would of thought our whole country would have sunk to the level it's at.
vic had to be in damn good shape to be humping up those hills like he did even if he didn't carry a canteen....
I LOVE COBURN IN CROSS OF IRON ,77. WHERE HE PLAYED A GERMAN SARGEANT ON THE EASTERN FRONT.
Facing the T-34 Russian tanks scene was pretty good . I was rooting for the Germans cause of James Coburn .
