Customer Reviews

This program has unique introductory music.

Many programs of the era had their introductory music, and this program was no exception; the music was by Leonard Rosseman. They always start with “starring Rick Jason and Vic Morrow.” Instead of great sweeping epics, this program focuses on a single squad with their trials and tribulations in confronting the Germans in WWII. Each episode is one hour and must present a problem and a solution at that time. This was back in the time of professional privates. In 1967-1968, Vietnam, if you were lucky, certain areas had TV broadcasting at 1600 hrs. You guessed it; this was one of the programs. I wondered what the locals thought of the episode. This would be a good series to own. Not just for the nostalgia, but the personal conflicts portrayed in the program are still with us today.
