Storyline

Saunders, Doc, and Littlejohn are cut off from their lines when they are joined by Fox Company's Sgt. Larkin who is also cut off. While figuring out which is the best way to get back to their lines, they come under fire from a wounded GI behind a 30 caliber MG who is shouting that he knows they are really Germans in GI uniforms. Saunders manages to get behind the shooter and knock him out for a few minutes. His dog tags indicate he is Pvt. Henry Murfree, and he has a shrapnel wound in his leg. Murfree continues to protest his suspicion that Saunders and his men are really Germans and part of Klepner's Raiders who are infiltrating Allied lines in GI uniforms. In fact, it is really Murfree who is the infiltrator as he feigns a Southern accent and persuades Saunders to head south instead of east to find the Allied lines. Murfree is actually the German Capt. Klepner who is also cut off and wants to trick Saunders and his men to carry him to his own men in a village some miles to the south...

User Reviews

The Third Season of Combat!

I purchased Combat,season 3, through Amazon.com, and looked for the 13th episode: A Long Walk. Well, guess what. It's not there. As a warning, if one is searching a favorite episode, be extremely alert and careful to see if the chosen title is on the back of the designated seasoned box. I'm confused now as to which seasoned box it would be on. I found, instead of The Long Walk episode, The Long Wait; not it. The episodes that are on the third season I see to be very good, in spite of. If anyone can find the episode "The Long Walk," please leave a response to this. I would be ever so grateful for any information on this. This isn't the only DVD show I've had difficulties find a certain episode. Why do companies do that? I'm guessing to get the customers to purchase more than one of their DVDs. I call that false advertising.
