Color is the only way to go,
COMBAT! THE BEST OF THE COLOR EPSODES is the only DVD of this TV series to buy if you have limited time to watch these old classics. I would have rated it five stars if the Episodes had not included, Entombed. This episode is just not believable for me because my dad fought the Germans in WWII. Their officers would not have agreed to a temporary truce and that is the basis of this one story.

Combat colour magic,
Four fantastic COMBAT episodes in glorious colour!
Yes the black and white episodes are gritty,fantastic and terrific.
However the colour episodes represented on this dvd are worth a definite viewing!
The standout episode is HEADCOUNT where the squad have to transport a horde of captured German soldiers back to the American lines.
Jan Merlin is outstanding as the leader of the Germans and the squad are under constant pressure as the prisoners try every trick in the book in an attempt to escape.
Also THE BROTHERS with fine acting by Sal Mineo is a must see!
Buy this dvd and then maybe buy the entire series!
