"The Wounded Don't Cry" is a dramatic episode of "Combat!" with a story of trust and dilemma. The experienced Saunders knows that the enemy cannot be trusted but he is forced to team-up with one of them to save one of his men. The scene of Sergeant Bauer and Saunders putting the bird back in the nest is touching. The cameo of Leonard Nimoy in the beginning of his career is another plus in the great episode. My vote is eight.
