TV Episode "Errijays in the Uctrays" Was this in 'Combat' or "Gallant Men"? Some other show?

There was a B&W TV show I saw in the sixties set in the ETO in WW2 where Germans had hijacked an American convoy of trucks. They were hiding in the back with American drivers. One truck was stopped at a checkpoint and the driver said to the guard that everything was fine "But we got erryjays in the uctrays". The guard didn't understand this, let the convoy start through and mentioned it to one of the other guards who shouted "Jerries in the trucks!" and opened up with a Thompson.

I have searched the net for "Combat' and "The Gallant Men'. I thought this was an episode of one of them but can't find anything like it mentioned for either series.

Does anyone have any information on what this episode was? If it wasn't either series do you know what show it was on?

Thanks for any help!

Gallant Men. I don’t remember who spoke the words but he was addressing DeAngelo.

I used to watch those shows too but don’t remember that particular episode. There was another one too. It was called “Citizen Soldier” and was similar to the others.

‘The Gallant Men’.

No but it’s funny how some things stick with you.

That sounds like a parody of Pig Latin, the use of which was popular back then in TV, and popular music. I never understood it, and always thought people were making up the sounds as they went along. Sort of like “The Name Game”, Shirley, Shirley, Bo-Berry, Banana Fanana-Mo Berry, Fee- Fi-Mo Mary, Shirley!”

Piece of trivia from “Combat:” Rick Jason, the lieutenant, in real life was the son of a wealthy stockbroker who volunteered in WW II.

I thought it was Combat but maybe not. I do remember the vignette well. I didn't understand Pig Latin and had to ask “what’d he say, what’d he say?”

Funny D’Amgelo was the only name I remembered but I remember the series. I was just a kid at the time.

I learned the logic behind Pig Latin before I was 10.

Any word, say, Pig. The first letter sound, P, is moved to the rear of the word, and the syllable 'ay' is added.

Thus, Ig-Pay Atin-Lay. It's not High Tech. It takes a little thought, but it was right up there with elephant jokes in midwestern suburbia, for wit, and it kept something like "I Tarted-Say Y-May, Eriod-Pay" from the Peanut Gallery in the back seat...

You know, I was a TV head with the best of them but could not remember this series. It was quite short-lived though running from fall 1962 to early summer 1963.

I was 10 years old so I was into shows like that.
