Greg Espinoza    Posted:   May 12, 2011 - 4:36 PM     By:   riotengine   (Member) Comcast added some Retro TV channels to our local cable line-up, so I've been enjoying Combat! I was watching an episode called "The Raider" (guest-starring Leonard Nimoy) that opens with an attack on a German half-track by two jeeps with .50 caliber machine guns, firing as they circle the German soldiers.

These wild jeeps footages are actually recycled from a season 3 entitled "Vendetta" (guest starring Telly Savalas) in which Greek Allied Forces harass German forces. Both "Vendetta" and "The Raider" were directed by John Peyser who went to work on The Rat Patrol. ***White Rook Out*** PS: Tom Gries used to direct some Combat! episodes.    Posted:   May 12, 2011 - 5:07 PM     By:   riotengine   (Member) Comcast added some Retro TV channels to our local cable line-up, so I've been enjoying Combat!

I didn't know it was recycled footaged. I did know Gries had worked on Combat!, so it makes perfect sense.
