REFERENCE: TV SERIE - COMBAT



COMBAT

USA – ABC Television Network from October 2nd 1962 to August 29th 1967
Black and White/Colour
152 episodes with 60 minutes each
Directed by Jus Addiss, Robert Altman, László Benedek, Richard Benedict, Michael Caffey, Alan Crosland Jr., Richard Donner, Georg Fenady, Tom Gries, Herman Hoffman, Burt Kennedy, James Komack, Vic Morrow, Paul Stanley, Boris Sagal, Sutton Roley, Ted Post, John Peyser, Byron Paul and Bernard McEveety

Combat depicted the lives of one platoon of soldiers fighting their way across Europe in World War II.
The long running show was very realistic, even to the point of using actual war footage in some episodes. And unlike many other WWII shows, this cast was sent to "boot camp" before filming began. Neither the war nor the cast was ever portrayed in a glamorous way.
