Women speaks french to Hanley and he goes yea right no speakin french,Kirby reading French newspaper,Rob speaks french and german,Doc just english, Small bean caught in windpipe, Hemlick maneuver. Good episode,🥚🍺Mom was hottie.
German soldiers ride bicycle! Similar to Japan soldiers ride bicycle in my country during their occupation era. My grand dad and old teachers mentioned that facts when they told me and cousins how our people suffer during Japan Occupation era. Upon completion of viewing Combat series, I will view Baa Baa Black Sheep series - another story of WW2 in Pacific theatre.
Elsbeth Humphrey - only if you know what California looks like, but I agree in B&W it was less obvious, but shot in NZ I just would just know and it would be a bit distracting.
@@Liberatus Or if you know what France looks like and that is something most of the Eurpean viewers have known Because of the German Station politcs to buy in no series with a stong militaric content COMBAT never got on German or Austrian TV since Austrians often had split the Licence fees with the Germans for the US shows
@WillowStrong Yeah, I wish they would have had at least one "reunion" show. The final episode in 1967 (with Robert Duvall) was great, and near the end of the war. The last show didn't wrap up anything though. They should have at least shot a series finale to see how our heroes made it through (or even IF they made it through). A "VE Day" show would have been cool... Peace, Randy
Surely the soldiers in Reece platoons were taught basic German or even French prior to D-Day. If they could at least have understood military terminology/ phrases in German so they could interrogate prisoners in the field etc etc.
Heck, the US was sending people overseas to fly planes they never handled in training! Read up on Eisenhower stopping the officership program and having college grads shipped over without training and fed into the line, one by one.
@WillowStrong - Yeah, "The Partisan" aired 14 March 1967. With Robert Duvall and Claudine Longet it really was a great episode. I really don't think they knew it was their "last show" when they shot it. The ending does seem to anticipate a near ending of the war, but the squad is STILL in France so I'm not sure what to think. When you do watch it you should be pleased. It's great, but then I'm a big Robert Duvall fan!
@WillowStrong - I've also noticed that a lot of the Germans speak very simple German with an English accent (I understand a little German). I still think it's great that Combat had all people speaking their correct languages without subtitles. Most TV shows have "foreigners" speak English with a bad accent. Combat! was a lot more realistic than most TV shows about the War in that era. Great show, with great Filmography and Direction!
7:13 what a roller coaster of emotions! First, I was excited to hear him say Heimlich maneuver, but with an awkward fake German accent, instead he starts talking about turning the kid over and I’m super disappointed, then they each grab the kid by a foot and start smacking him on the back while he’s upside down in front of his mothers startled face and it was the best thing I’ve ever seen on this show, probably ever.
See the should have had an ending show comments. The Fugitive ended the same year but they knew it was the last. ABC prostituted and ended Combat to get it into syndication,. In those days, if show still on air, could not syndicate it. Sad, the last years shows could have been in Germany and going to conclusion. Sad MGM kicked them out. the CA back country scenery does not work.
Boo Radley was a great actor what ever he played in ,very convincing in his carictor. Especially in to kill a mocking bird.i may be wrong but I think mocking bird was his start.
when would the lt have time to learn french. Before the normandy, he was a sargent. After normandy he was too busy trying to keep his squad alive while completing missions that were occasionally all but impossible. They were medics, not doctors. medics arent taught surgury.
When I was kid I never miss combat. My name is mr.steven s Johnson.
👍 combat..watching when i was kid..now i am old..thank you 🎥..

A very beautiful episode of combat.thanks.
"In war there is no guilt nor compassion." True words.
that all depends on the individual human being.

Damn! Robert Duvall appeared in everything prior to becoming an academy award winning actor.
He was in the movie MASH as Frank Burns.
James Horan - Agree, California landscape really didn't do it for the show, especially in color, in black and white at least it wasn't so obvious.
Elsbeth Humphrey - only if you know what California looks like, but I agree in B&W it was less obvious, but shot in NZ I just would just know and it would be a bit distracting.

Rick Jason shot himself, and Vic Morrow was decapitated by a helicopter.
Man, by the time you wrote that, most of the actors were sixty or more years old. A "series finale" shot then would have been pretty weird.
Like in BAND OF BROTHERS you mean ?
Robert Duvall wasn't feeling any victory here because there was no napalm that morning 😏😏

+Ken Garrett No they were not.

They did learn some German surely how to understand when Germans said I surrender in German or did the Germans learn to say that in English ?
Does anyone notice that kirby is reading a French newspaper but he doesnt speak french
He ’as just lookin’ at the pixchurs.
Jim Lockhart that was my thought too! 😁👍
@@abigailredclutchbarn LoL
He's just looking at the cartoons like in Playboy.
Doc was an MP in an early episode, but no mention here...
We'll skip the incidentals in the dialogue

So Sonny Corleone and Tom Hagan were both Krauts. My Kraut Mic friend.

How long in France and they don't pick up at least a little french?

What if the child needed a trachiotomy because of something blocking between his throat and his lungs including expanded tissue.

Meu 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🤣🤣👍🙏
Rober Duvall, speak good German

That maple stock on an M1 looks out of place.
when would the lt have time to learn french. Before the normandy, he was a sargent. After normandy he was too busy trying to keep his squad alive while completing missions that were occasionally all but impossible.
They were medics, not doctors. medics arent taught surgury.
Pre war, hanley spent time in France with a college friend. He should have picked up some French then.
Porfavor pase lo en espñol
