James Coburn does a nice guest-star turn in this episode as Corp. Kanger, a German intelligence officer disguised as an American soldier helping escort a German prisoner back to division headquarters for questioning (in an attempt to find allied headquarters). Coburn's German is very good. He got another chance to demonstrate it in Sam Peckinpaugh's "Cross of Iron" many years later.
His portrayal of Kanger is layered. He is not some fanatical Nazi or uberman, he plays it like a professional soldier whose job it is to infiltrate the enemy--at all costs.
Morrow does a lot of "Lone Ranger" action in this. Sometimes you wonder why he doesn't take a little back up with him, but is strong yet subtle as usual. Jason as Handley once again baffles me as to why he would get second billing (or in the end credits, first billing!). I should get HIS agent!
