Yeah I thought Skip Homeier was the German captain too for a while. It started to dawn on me that it was the other Lt. because the two sgts. were obviously not the Imposter. Just sayin …
Excellent episode! I love when Lt Hanley does G2 assignments, he's so good at it, like he was in The Quiet Warrior S1 E25. I hope there are more like this one, I still have many more episodes to watch. Thank you so very much for all these episodes!
I was making up for the time I first saw this series way back in the 70s... back then I didn't understand a thing because I was still in elementary school... now after being aware of how WWII went through from countless documentaries I saw, now I understand how each episode is... BTW that courtyard where they case out the documents needed by G7 is the same courtyard in The General & The Sergeant... if you haven't seen yet, my apologies for the spoiler alert... they arrange the episodes in this channel randomly...
Rick Jason was a great Actor him and Vic Morrow made this show they left use to soon this was the best war show I been watching it every night 2 to 3 at a time found it on u tube after all these years thanks for this great show I can't believe I'm watching it again RIPVicAnd Rick
This is the infamous blooper episode where@ 24:56, LT. Hanley refers to Littlejohn by his real last name…”PEABODY, take up the rear”…watch how Dick Peabody reacts…but Selig Seligman kept right on filming…CLASSIC
This TV series was a prime motivator for me taking three years of German language training in high school (1967-1970) A skill set that served me well during my Cold War tour of duty (Nuremberg 1976-1979)
Good for you, but I hope you did not used most of it for memorising actual German Gtrammar and Phrases. Most of them were absolut blödsinnig. Even though sometimes they got actors with rather well done German
I learned german too because of this show. Learned it faster then french. My grandmother swore i must of been german in a pass life. One time at age 10 i dropped my school work almost made it to the bed it fell onto the floor i yelled. Nein nein nein wunderbar. My grandmother came in and said you yelling in german. I was confused 😕 then realized i was. I said i yelled no no no wonderful. She said im getting you a book on learning german. 😂
This show led me to being a professional musician, and that is the truth. I heard those trumpets playing and said, "I want to play THAT instrument!" And so I did, and I ended up studying music in college and then doing it for a living. I'm retired now. Still love the music.
Rick Jason: ...¨Peabody, bring up the rear!¨ Dick Peabody, Little John's real name. Great scene! Rick Jason was very talented too. Another episode in the collection ¨The very best of Combat!.
As usual, this episode was another work of art in Combat, the best there ever was in a war drama on tv. Thanks to all who make these videos accessible.
I agree - what a great show. I was too young when Combat first aired so I'm appreciative they're available now on CZcams. I do remember playing Army in the neighborhood when I was a kid. We all would pick who we wanted to be from the cast. Such great times.
What a great episode! And what a pleasure to see this show now that I am old enough to appreciate it. When it originally aired, Combat! wasn't the kind of thing that appealed to a little girl. Thanks so much for all of these.
When they are all leaving the mill together Hanley says to Little John - 'Peabody, bring up the rear' - Uses the actors real name rather than his character name - 24'55"
Of course, in real life, as soon as there was any question whatsoever that the mission might be compromised, it would've been cancelled -- regardless of time constraints -- but this was still one of the best and most suspenseful episodes.
This is true, but one has to suspend belief a little to watch the series anyway, given that in the course of five seasons, each character would have earned at least 50 Purple Hearts (and be sent home for the duration of the war) and 20 or more Medals of Honor. That said, it is still the best war series ever televised, rivaling the best war movies ever made. My Favorite line (not from this episode) was when Little John said, "I'm okay Sarge, it's only a flesh wound," and Saunders replied, "okay, keep some pressure on it so it won't bleed so bad." 😃
The jeep cap was the beanie of its day, used on cold weather soft cap missions. In hot weather, the tactical soft cap was either the garrison cap or the Beetle Bailey precursor to the current patrol cap. Boonie hats showed up in the VN era.
I saw "The Imposter" back in 1964. Lt. Hanley and Privates: Little John, Lemay "Cage", Kirby, and the other two soldiers were to clever for this Kraut infiltrator. They apprehended this cutthroat.
Skip Homeier and Warren Stevens are in this episode. People remember Homeier in some of those westerns made in the 50's with Randolph Scott. Warren Stevens was always on some tv show as the bad guy.
The plot in The Imposter was just brilliant. The question is, Who is the imposter? How will Lt. Hanson carry out a mission with a possible "imposter" among them? L.A. Wood
Good entertainment, but there were some serious flaws. For example, if Hanley "knew" that one of the two Sgts. was a German, then why did he allow them to stay armed? Also, I can't believe that a GI would not know his own blood type. It was important to know this info! Blood type was so important that all German SS troopers had their blood type tattoo'd near their left armpit, on the underside of their arm. Lastly, my Dad served in the the USAF for four years during the Korea era (a SSGT) and can still remember his dog tag number 60 years later. Hanley should have asked what their serial number was - I highly doubt any impostor could remember an eight digit number with the stress of trying to be "American". ... and with all that said, I still loved the episode!!
Without a doubt, of all the episodes I've seen over the years, The Impostor in my mind had the greatest mystique about it. All along the tension builds, and you're not quite sure which one is the German impostor. A magnificent episode, one of the best among the Combat episodes. One of the writers for this episode was Kay Lenard. Does anyone know anything about her, where she is, or if she is still alive and writing?
Kay Lenard was born 1911, died 1997. He also wrote episodes for “THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS”, “DAYS OF OUR LIVE”, “GUN SMOKE”, “FLIPPER”, “LASSIE” and many other programs. Nothing on his personal life is known.
+Rohan David I think you are right. It was a slip. The very next time, Hanely calls him Little John. I doubt Little John's last name in the show was Peabody.
They assumed it was a Sgt.'s uniform based on the killed American 'Red' being a Sgt. when Kirby knew him. Red had obviously been promoted to LT and was wearing a LT's uniform. I knew it all along, I should have been in MI.
One of the best episodes of the series. Realistic and with reference to truth in terms of infiltrators during the "Battle of the Bulge". Many episodes were riddled with error but not this one. However, had they simply held a quiz of multiple questions of which most Americans should readily know, the imposter would have been quickly found out.
Yep he was in a ton of stuff. Including a 1968 Star Trek Episode, he played Rojan, a human looking alien who's small group took over the Enterprise. The episode was called 'By Any Other Name'. He just died in 2012, he was 93 years old.
I won't post a spoiler here, but the identity of the German imposter was so obvious right from the start that it was kind of funny. That said, this episode was still really good. I am having the time of my life re-watching these five seasons from start to finish. I was 12 years old when this episode first aired. My buddies and I were Combat! fanatics, watching each week and then going out to the local park with our Army Surplus gear and taking turns being Sgt Saunders, Lt Hanley, Cage, Kirby and Little John. When we had to be the German soldiers, we perfected speaking English with a "German" accent; or at least, we thought we did! Good stuff!
they used this type of episode a bout 3-4 times that had a German passing off as a American , each one was good .I wrote ME TV about 10 times to show the show more often that once a week , maybe if other did the same they will take Car 54 off an put Combat there !
LT.HANLEY ran into KRAUT INFILTRAITORS 3 times:this episode,the other with JEREMY SLATE as the MOCKINGBIRD (title),and the other with EDWARD BINNS as the phoney AMERICAN officer! The other episodes with these infiltraitors were: LONG WAY BACK with RODDY McDOWELL as the kraut and SARGANT SAUNDERS, the MASQUERADE with JAMES COBURN as the kraut and SARGANT SAUNDERS, another episode featured KIRBY by himself with guest NICK ADAMS being suspected of being a kraut by GAVIN McCLOED,another suspect turned out to be our guest star kraut, and still one more with SARGANT SAUNDERS discovering an infiltraitor (played by MARK RICHMAN) as the G.I.s had to blow up a kraut communications room! We can also mention the episode the CASSOCK with JAMES WHITMORE as the kraut of the week as he dons a priest cassock but SARGANT SAUNDERS comes in much later but catches the phoney priest******
They had some really good writers for this show! It reminds me of old shows that were good but the writers finally let them down. Bonanza was good, but it got too repetitive and with all the Cartwrights fighting over the women all the time it got old. The best western series was Gunsmoke by far! The writers always came up with something fresh, though I really never liked Chester because he was so worthless. Festus made the show much more colorful and interesting. There were shows that showed how he wasn't such a dummy when it came to certain things, he was just ignorant because he had no education.
The episode would have been a lot shorter if Hanley had determined when the 2 Sgts and the Lt arrived. The German captain couldn't have been more than a few minutes ahead of them. The last to arrive was the spy.
Excellent episode but it could have been solved very easily if Hanley tells everyone to show their dog tags. The one who is wearing the dead sergeants is the German.
During the Battle of the Bulge, one of the things that gave the Germans away posing as Americans, was that these groups of inflatrators would all pile of several jeeps. What the americans had in abundance was jeeps, mostly americans would travel in ones and twos instead of groups on the jeeps.
This episode always drove me up the wall because Hanley was careless enough to give his men a mission briefing without checking to see if anyone was around to hear his pans. And sure enough there was a German in the bushes overhearing his plans,
so what, the dead 'sergeant' was bumped to lieutenant sometime after Kirby saw him? maybe partly because of his gallant actions that resulted in him going to the hospital.
I'm willing to bet the small little OOPS in this episode when they were all in the cabin talking and at the end of the talk Hanley barks out orders who to take the point, and did anyone notice and pay attention to Hanley calling out Little John you pick up the rear? Only Hanley called Little John by his real name......Hanley said Peabody you pick up the rear. And no 1 ever has figured it out. Gotta listen close many times they get sloppy and let things go, so no re-take of the scene! There is another OOPS in a episode when Saunders and his unit got captured and put in a barn. And when 1 of the unit got close to the fence, a German pushed him off with his gun, and over his shoulder you could barely see a modern-day car at the time go by on a road, it happens really quickly though. that must been the edge of the set.! Richard Basehart was the German in charge in it
Dr Sevrin, that's right, the space hippy guy with the Giant Ears. And totally forgot about his Melakon role, when the Enterprise visits the planet that has gone Nazi.
Sorry, I meant if I was a German dressing as a G.I., I would memorize the number right away. That's the first thing someone would ask if they were suspicious. Again, sorry. I wasn't clear.
The wounded officer Hanley helps to the Jeep played in some Gunsmokes also, the best one as Ab Fisher, who would not inform on Kyle Kelly, played by Ken Curtis who would later play Festus, after Kyle Kelly killed his friend. P.S. The wounded man they talk to at roughly 20.00 played a character named Joe Harpe on Gunsmoke, shot in the back by Harry Speener after Harpe saved him out on the prairie when he broke his leg, for a $500 reward. Which is like $5000.00 or more now.
It really didn't matter. The mission should have been cancelled since one of the team was a German. As was stated in the beginning, if the Germans found out, they would only change their plans and the mission would be futile. Stealth was key.
This was one serial where Skip Homeier wasn't the 'usual suspect' ! The writers of Combat did excellent work. This is a standard for quality drama.
Yeah I thought Skip Homeier was the German captain too for a while. It started to dawn on me that it was the other Lt. because the two sgts. were obviously not the Imposter. Just sayin …
Excellent episode! I love when Lt Hanley does G2 assignments, he's so good at it, like he was in The Quiet Warrior S1 E25. I hope there are more like this one, I still have many more episodes to watch. Thank you so very much for all these episodes!

If he was so smart, why did he not check blood tyoe and dogtags of everybody?
I love Rick Jason. I watch combat over and over never get tired.
This series holds up very good after 50 years/ well worth watching
better than very good. Character development and photography are excellent.
Rick Jason was a great Actor him and Vic Morrow made this show they left use to soon this was the best war show I been watching it every night 2 to 3 at a time found it on u tube after all these years thanks for this great show I can't believe I'm watching it again RIPVicAnd Rick

Nice catch! Didn’t notice until I read the comments!
Nothing like Suspicion to heighten the Tension. One of the Best COMBAT episodes.
What a treat for me! This was one of the rare episodes that I had not seen before. Worth the wait.

This is got to be the best Combat episode.
The music score for Combat is amazing, did it ever win any awards ⚡️
This show led me to being a professional musician, and that is the truth. I heard those trumpets playing and said, "I want to play THAT instrument!" And so I did, and I ended up studying music in college and then doing it for a living. I'm retired now. Still love the music.
Skip Homieir is one of favorite character actors and he really helps build the suspense in this episode.
Hilarious, keep shooting film isn't cheap, so just roll with it Peabody, absolutely love the bloopers. Ok Rick after this shoot you owe me beer, 🍺
True, I remember once on mannix the guest star called Joe mannix mr. Connors.
Rick Jason: ...¨Peabody, bring up the rear!¨ Dick Peabody, Little John's real name.
Great scene! Rick Jason was very talented too.
Another episode in the collection ¨The very best of Combat!.
Littlejohn smiles when Hanley calls him by his real name. :)

I caught Peabody years ago but forgot which episode. How many times have I watched Combat, Too many !
There is nothing on tv today as good as a Combat! Rerun. I watch at least once a year the whole 5 years .
What a great episode! And what a pleasure to see this show now that I am old enough to appreciate it. When it originally aired, Combat! wasn't the kind of thing that appealed to a little girl. Thanks so much for all of these.
Oh, it appealed to *this* little girl! I've been in love with Sgt Saunders since I was about seven years old! :)
my little sister watched it we only had 1 tv...
We were all advid Combat! watchers in my family. Mostly my dad and I. I think mom and the girls weren't as interested in it but watched it anyway.
@@betrisher55 से गय
Good casting trick to throw in two actors who usually played heavies, Warren Stevens and Skip Homeier.
Maybe LittleJohn is really The Imposter.
He's actually a guy named Peabody.
Great episode.
When they are all leaving the mill together Hanley says to Little John - 'Peabody, bring up the rear' - Uses the actors real name rather than his character name - 24'55"
Some of you guys are amazingly attentive to detail. I wouldn't have noticed that slip up of Hanley's in a million years.
You mean Jason's slip up?
Of course, in real life, as soon as there was any question whatsoever that the mission might be compromised, it would've been cancelled -- regardless of time constraints -- but this was still one of the best and most suspenseful episodes.

L.A. Wood
Lt. Hanley wouid know what to do.
Lt. Tracy!!!
Shoulda made it a 2 parter. Expand the characters a bit more, imo.
Great episode which is surprising without Saunders in it. Had not seen it before.
24:55 Do not miss DP smile when Jason calls him by his real name.
Sorry for my english.
on the closed captions they used Buddy instead of Peabody .
This was the 1st episode I ever saw. It became a regular part of my week thereafter.
Later in his career, on Adam-12 he played a cop who was on his last legs. He also appeared on shows like Cannon, MASH, and Knotts Landing and Mannix.
This was one of my favorites.
What a fantastic plot,thanks enjoy this one immensely
great episode of Combat!
If you liked the script,you should watch The Man Who Never Was,The Guns Of Navaronne & Mission Impossible,the tv series.
One sure way to hurry up a guy picking a lock under a bunch of guys with loaded rifles is to keep yelling at him to hurry up.

Red had obviously been promoted to LT and was wearing a LT's uniform. I knew it all along, I should have been in MI.
Hanley should have questioned all of them about their respective disciplines. The guilty won would have slipped up on something.
giggle, yes he did.
One of the best episodes.
I caught a blooper in this episode. The Lt. Called Littlejohn by his real name as they were leaving the house they were in.
Rick does the spy episodes the best. One of my personal favourites. Does it get any better - hell no....
Great Episode; thank you!
Another great episode with a decidedly new element that being espionage I believe. Thanks to GR for another *job Well Done!!*
Howard, there was another episode in which James Coburn played a Nazi infiltrator.
One of the best episodes of the series. Realistic and with reference to truth in terms of infiltrators during the "Battle of the Bulge". Many episodes were riddled with error but not this one. However, had they simply held a quiz of multiple questions of which most Americans should readily know, the imposter would have been quickly found out.
Little John Has Been Shot That Many Times !! He Must Have Lead Poisoning By Now !!😂😂😂😂
I love this show
Really good one!!
Two guest starts that were also picked up by Gene Roddenberry for two TOS episodes. So many actors were shared back then.
Little John kept staring at Hanley again and again, hahaha. Hanley blooped.
Well having a imposter that was pretty real toward the end off WW2 my shop teacher told me he was a ranger in WW2
Yep Hanley calls Little John by his real name, Peabody. The actor smirks just a bit when he hears the blunder. It's easier to see in full screen.
Little john Peabody sucks!
Warren Stevens , I have seen him in other sixties T.V. shows .
Yep he was in a ton of stuff. Including a 1968 Star Trek Episode, he played Rojan, a human looking alien who's small group took over the Enterprise. The episode was called 'By Any Other Name'. He just died in 2012, he was 93 years old.
I can't remember which guy is Warren Stephens but one of them played the doctor in Forbidden Planet.
I just checked. Warren Stevens was doc on forbidden planet.
Complex story with many twists and turns.
little John Peabody...
The best episode of Rick Jason.
I won't post a spoiler here, but the identity of the German imposter was so obvious right from the start that it was kind of funny. That said, this episode was still really good.

Alan Baxter (Capt. Roberts) played the heavy as a drug dealer in the 1949 cult classic "She Shoulda Said No" aka "Wild Weed".
they used this type of episode a bout 3-4 times that had a German passing off as a American , each one was good .I wrote ME TV about 10 times to show the show more often that once a week , maybe if other did the same they will take Car 54 off an put Combat there !
Thank you GR :)
In this episode Lt Hanley says he has type A blood,in another one "I swear by Apollo" he said was type 0...

Jeremy Slate was a great character actor. He played in a number of great episodes of Gunsmoke. Ed Binns was in one,too. LHS
Great!
Not only do you shoot in the dark, but also get knocked out in the dark! It took 2 Men and a Cabinet to catch his fall! Ouch.
Wondering how many times they destroyed and rebuilt this chateau
They had some really good writers for this show! It reminds me of old shows that were good but the writers finally let them down. Bonanza was good, but it got too repetitive and with all the Cartwrights fighting over the women all the time it got old. The best western series was Gunsmoke by far!

There were shows that showed how he wasn't such a dummy when it came to certain things, he was just ignorant because he had no education.
Festus was awesome. You can find all of the Gunsmoke episodes here too.
Mr. Dillon! Mr. Dillon! The bank done just been robbed!
The episode would have been a lot shorter if Hanley had determined when the 2 Sgts and the Lt arrived. The German captain couldn't have been more than a few minutes ahead of them. The last to arrive was the spy.
There is another episode where Sgt Saunders calls Little John Peabody.
Excellent episode but it could have been solved very easily if Hanley tells everyone to show their dog tags. The one who is wearing the dead sergeants is the German.

@@melvinbennett444 Bathroom break after checking in on the German post.
and a German with a shiny hat!
Unfortunately Jack Hogan (Kirby) recently passed away at December 6th 2023 at age 94 RIP
so what, the dead 'sergeant' was bumped to lieutenant sometime after Kirby saw him?
maybe partly because of his gallant actions that resulted in him going to the hospital.

The G-2 Capt. resembles Bruce Willis.
This is the episode where they should had a callback to season 1s oss agent in #11 Quiet Warrior
Everybody knows you had to lick the flash bulb contacts for it to work😂😂😂
Dr. Sevrin/Melakon, Rojan, and Richard Lapham.
Dr Sevrin, that's right, the space hippy guy with the Giant Ears. And totally forgot about his Melakon role, when the Enterprise visits the planet that has gone Nazi.
Colonel mustard in the library with a pipe!
someone else commented how he should have asked them what is your service no.? I served many years ago but still remember mine.
+Bri G. I think the first you'd do is memorize the tag number.
I still remember my service no. we stenciled it on all our clothes in basic training.
Sorry, I meant if I was a German dressing as a G.I., I would memorize the number right away. That's the first thing someone would ask if they were suspicious. Again, sorry. I wasn't clear.
I don't remember if he had credits or not, but I think Skip Homier is in this show.
The wounded officer Hanley helps to the Jeep played in some Gunsmokes also, the best one as Ab Fisher, who would not inform on Kyle Kelly, played by Ken Curtis who would later play Festus, after Kyle Kelly killed his friend. P.S. The wounded man they talk to at roughly 20.00 played a character named Joe Harpe on Gunsmoke, shot in the back by Harry Speener after Harpe saved him out on the prairie when he broke his leg, for a $500 reward. Which is like $5000.00 or more now.
Im stoked
Great episode. Could have been called Whose the Kraut?

Great this is the 3rd snow episode I’ve seen so far. I really like these ones . It changes it up.
"change" what up? What's "it" ?
@@LimaSierra609 instead of fighting in the cities of woods. Seeing the snow and mountains. That’s it
@@danrobinson572 Agreed with you 100%. Great episode! Great storylines! Worth watching this particular episode every single second...
@@LimaSierra609 yeah I started this from the very first episode. And since I did this is the 3 show with snow.
Check their lower legs and ankles and feet. American issue boot would leave evidence of tightly laced boots. The German boots had no laces.
The other two suspects have been on “Combat!” before as Germans. I was sure it was one of them.
It really didn't matter. The mission should have been cancelled since one of the team was a German. As was stated in the beginning, if the Germans found out, they would only change their plans and the mission would be futile. Stealth was key.
The actor had german parents
The music reminds me of Star Trek.
Good one
It doesn't make sense to have an intelligence headquarters guarded by only two men at night.
7:40 who is playing second base for the dodgers ? where is the rosebowl held ?
The German soldier wood hav been handcuffed but I still love combat and how did he get there first to the windmill
Am sure the German was very familiar with the territory
24:53 - "Peabody, take the rear."
Peabody, bring up the rear!
