Masterful is a great description.
The role of the young soldier was very touching. In his confession, he told the “Priest” that he felt badly for praying for his own safety, his own concerns and not for those of his comrades and the people for whom he was fighting.
I sitll watch it on DVD,and it’s the most unappreciated TV series of all time.
I hope that sometime Vic Morrow will get the credit for creating a great TV character in Sgt. Saunders.
Combat—my all time favorite series.
The bayonets and the dots in the opening.
I cried when Caje was shot—and thought he died, until next week came and the sequel showed it was just a wound.
Then Combat went to color it was even better.
Made a big impression on an eleven year old.
