- Bull shit!
- We had a place like that down the street from our kaserne in Neckarsulm, Germany. I used to go there when I got hungry at night and get a couple of schnitzel sandwiches on good whole-grain bread from a neighboring bakery.
- Beau Bridges was born in 1941 so he'd have been 23 when this aired in 1964. The fact that he was calling other privates "Sir" would have been a clue that he hadn't served in another unit.
- Une épisode magnifique. Has it not yet been mentioned how well Sgt. Saunders (as portrayed by Vic Morrow) reads his men (and people in general)? Sgt. Saunders picks up on the slightest tell tale sign that something is amiss as in the opening scene where Harvey (Robert Simpson) teases Put, this babe in arms. The squad already knows how to behave with newcomers and act accordingly from earlier lessons given by Sgt. Saunders. He knows this boy is not telling the truth and reprimands for not being truthful. Put (Beau Bridges) is in the squad and must carry his weight like any other soldier in Sgt. Saunders' squad. We are very fortunate also for a stellar performance by Lilyan Chauvin (playing "Fauvette" probably just a nickname here as "fauvette" is a variety of bird -here a "warbler") Her interaction with both Put and Lt. Hanley are mémorable and so are theirs with she. Things run afoul once the squad enters the forested area on their mission. This is just a 15 year old boy with no experience with weapons. I am sure that many of you out there know/have known someone who enlisted into wars before the regulatory age. Both of my grandfathers enlisted into the Canadian army in WWI but one of them was also only 15. He joined in 1914 (born 1899-died 1987) but some of these youngsters in arms make very good soldiers. He became a sniper with the Queens Own Rifles and was shot in the leg and laid on the field (after a fellow soldier fell on him trying to save him staunching the bleeding) and was about to be thrown into a mass grave until someone noticed he was still twitching. So much for child soldiers. They were legion in many wars. This was a very different war from WWII. I remember him telling me the German Jewish soldiers across in the opposite trench calling out to him and the other Yiddish speaking soldiers in the Canadian trench warning them of a bombardment the next morning and coincidently, a cantor was found in both trenches (this was Belgium) where they would both lead in singing various psalms(in Hebrew) on both sides at different lulls in the fighting. This was a different war.
Beau Bridges (named after the character played by Leslie Howard in Gone with the Wind by father Lloyd and mother Dorothy Bridges) puts in a fine performance and continues still. The Fabulous Baker Boys, Max Payne,the Descendants not to mention a huge number of TV séries. We must not overlook Lilyan Chauvin (1925-2008) born in Paris, France. Lilyan had a very illustrious career:North to Alaska, Silent Night, Deadly Night, Predator 2, Catch Me if you Can as well as a myriad of appearances in many TV séries and other films; Lilyan was active until the year before she left us. Un très grand merci pour le téléchargement!
- I recall watching this episode 51 years ago with my father (who was a WWII medic). I was thinking he was going to be able to see the snipers because of color blindness (shades of grey). (But perhaps that's the plot in another show.) Moving may way through episodes toward with James Whitmore as the cut-throat Nazi masquerading as a priest, an episode I recall very distinctly.
- There is a group called underage veterans of ww2. Formed by guys like Put. Also a book was written with their stories. They ranged in age from 14 to 16 years. If not mistaken a 15 year old was killed on Iwo Jima. It is a rare book but wonderful reading. One of those vets who worked on it gave me a copy at the VA in Pensacola Florida.
- Good episode . The kid saves the day. Beau Bridges
- Worst...snipers...ever. No wonder Germany lost! You always know when a soldier is going to buy the farm when the episode starts. They should have them wear red shirts!
- That german's a rotten shot for a sniper !!
- Maybe someone knows: Why did they chose to use the 361st I.R. as the Regiment? The real 361st was part of the 91st Div.--and their wartime service was in the Italian Campaign. I can understand that, for dramatic flexibility, they mightn't want to use an actual unit which fought in France, but why not call it a fictitious unit?
- Beau Bridges was in a similar role on 12 o'clock high. He was a gunner on a bomber when he shit the bed and lost it. They also found out he was only 15 years old. Strange that he was a crack shot in the 12 o'clock high episode and and eagle eye in 'combat'.Now was that him in Mchale's Navy when he bumped into Capt.Bing...JK.
- Saya suka dengan lakonan vic morrow. Seperti askar betul
- Nepotism, maybe. But at least most of them are trained actors. If you really want to break into show business and don't want to go the starving actor route...try reality TV...What a joke. But hey, their all stars...lol
- i grew up watching these shows
- Get em Sarge!!!!!!!!!!! wooo hooo!!!! yeah baby!
- You sure got that right...but with Lloyds' kids tho they sure did have acting in their blood..at least with Jeff Bridges who I like alot.
Everybodys got some kind of connection somewhere. Heaven forbid someone should make it on talent alone..lol
- Lots of nepotism in hollywood. Hard to believe any new folks can even break in any more with so many children of actors taking the spots.
- I liked this episode, I remember seeing it when I was a kid. An interesting story. . .And WOW . . . ITS BEAU BRIDGES!
- sniping u fix a position have an escape route. u can snipe from 20-30 meters.
- Once again . . . . THANKS so much for all your uploads!

All best, Jersey Joe :-)
