Introduction

Combat! is an American television drama series that originally aired on ABC from 1962 until 1967. The exclamation point in Combat! was depicted on-screen as a stylised bayonet. The show covered the grim lives of a squad of American soldiers fighting the Germans in France during World War II.

Outline

A failed night mission leaves Hanley wounded in the shoulder, and the rest of his squad dead … except for Private Wilder, a nervous young replacement, who is now trapped in a bog and ready to signal their German pursuers for help. It is up to the lieutenant to free him before Wilder drowns, or panics.
