Absolutely the best TV show of all time! Robert Lansing IS Gen. Savage! He was meant to play this role! Thanks CZcams for posting!
Yup, outstanding actor, excellent series....just wish they'd taught the sonuvabitch how to salute.....
That between-the-eyes thing just drives me up a wall. I'd have been Article 15'd for that shit!
A pitty they replaced him with someone actually older than him.
@@DRAGONSLAYER1220Yeah his sloppy salutes were part of my drinking game. That and every time he smoked a filtered cigarette 😄🤓😎✌🏻🇺🇲
These episodes just get better and better as they go along.
Jammin' Jefke-bob, if no one else has mentioned it, Thanks a TON! for posting these episodes. YOU ROCK!
Savage has a huge set, that is a fact. Love him as a leader, bummed when he left the show.
blame Haggar Slacks for that - they wanted a younger "hero".
@@watchgoose Blame producer Quinn Martin. They didn't get along. For me
that is not a good reason when the actor is superb in his role. So realistic.
I cant never make up my mind. I really liked Paul Burke, but I missed crusty General Savage," If you arent sure who the enemy is...ITS ME!" What a line.
Jefke Peremans: Thank you for posting all these 12 O’Clock High videos. The series’ run took place before my time and I find every episode compelling and superbly written. The acting is better than anything I’ve ever seen on television; I’m absolutely hooked. - John Florio
Ironic twist about the actor playing second-in-command Capt Staufman. John Van Dreelen was the son of a celebrated Dutch actor and fluent in several languages. He was sent to Papanburg concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Holland during WWII, where he joined a performers' troupe. During a performance he managed to grab a German officer's uniform from the audience cloak room and escaped in disguise as one of the German officers he would later play so often on both big and small screens.
" I would have to be deaf not to hear what you say....... Captain " !!😂😂👍
pssst... It's 'deaf'.
MrUhwoody 😁… THANKS !!😁👍👍
And I was jus a kid, when this was on prime time ! Don't make shows like this . . . these days ! Being a veteran, takes added significance ! 🇺🇸
Great, great tv show. Robert Lansing was the best!
Love The Robert Lansing!!!!
Agreed. All business. Only one in a very great while you see he had a softer side....terrific actor and just riveting to watch.
In the parlance of today, Savage was a total badass....Steve McQueen's older, tougher brother.....
Was it about money?
This 2-part episode of a TV series was better than the major motion picture Stalag 13 with William Holden! Lansing is always a fixture to provide a solid footing for any film production. He died too young......from cigarettes. What a shame so many are lost from these pitiful chemical addictive drugs. I hate the cigarette companies because they know what they do with their chemical ridden ampules.
And the doctors who actually advertised for them in the 50s and 60s. They should have had their licenses taken away
William Holden was in Stalag 17. Stalag 13 was Hogan's Heroes.
Bob Crane was in Stalag 13. Got killed young,
@@babuzzard6470 Bob Crane was not in the movie Stalag 13, but had the TV show Hogan's Heroes
The very best of all the episodes in this series. From the beginning: "...since you haven't been able to identify who the enemy is...it's ME!" LOL Right up to the end: "...compassion and sacrifice and endurance."
Great Movie -------Robert Lansing & James Farentino- Peter Haskel great actors
Lansing was great in this episode.
Rick Caldwell YES he WAS !! 👍👍
Even when at his worst, he was still good.
I would love to see Sergeant Saunders squad from COMBAT! free this POW camp.
Me too I agree that would be a good show
Officers are the only ones who escape. EM rarely escaped. They were glad to be out of it.
@@ziblot1235 More that EM did not had the survival training beforhand HOW TO successfull escape nor had most of them language training.
Robert Lansing was the perfect actor to play General Savage in this series. Donald Herron played British Group Captain Brail before he became one of the writers and stars of Hee Haw.
Don Harron was the Charlie Farquharson on Hee Haw. A celebrated Canadian broadcaster as well! He appeared in an earlier episode as well.
MOst German P.O. W camps were run by the Luftwaffe, not the Wehrmacht nor the S.S. There was a professionalism among the higher ranking officers and a measure of respect for their opposite numbers.
The SS did not run POW camps. They ran slave labour and death camps
Noticeable Act I missing footage between bailing out and arriving at POW camp -- that is, viewers here miss the capture.
About seven minutes into Act II there's an obvious (i.e. sloppy) cut designating more missing scene(s).
Now, that that usual complaint about syndicated prints its out of the way, I will second so many others' favorable comments: this is an excellent episode.
Behind-the-scenes: For the crew and cast, in lieu of the regular, one-hour + bus ride to Chino -- the airfield's sets -- they surely enjoyed the short drive to West L.A. adjacent Culver City where the MGM Lot 3 compound set was (realistically) created out of existing structures.
I have but ONE question.... HOW the HELL does Savage chew out his crew with the CIGARETTE NOT falling OUT of his MOUTH ?!!🤔🙄🤷🤦😂😂
Because he's just THAT awesome! Also, 2 of those guys are taller than Savage but he still scares the living daylights out of all 3 of them!
Because he is a professional officer!?
The series was not the same after Lansing was forced out. Lansing had the same intensity in his role, as Gregory Peck did in the movie version.
General Savage SMOKING A CIGARETTE in A KRAUT POW CAMP
At 4:17, The Waco's are on the ground, the one crashing was a C-47. You get a good view of it just before it crashed.
Listen to the background music of this episode. It is VERY CLEAR that some of the theme music from the 1960's Star Trek t.v. show was partially "lifted" from the theme of the background music of this episode. It clearly contains "elements" that were later used in Star Trek, NO question about it.
41 minute mark sounds like Star Trek music.
A whole lot of Stalag-17 in this, i.e. killing first escapee's and laying them out in the main compound; cigarette hustler, i.e. William Holden in the movie, tyrannical stereotypical nazi commandant, etc., etc. Since this came out several years after Stalag 17, it's easy to see the motivation for this story line. However, well done, good acting, all in all a quality television show!.
Yeah, but there's no 'Animal' character...
@@MrUhwoody The cat wasn't born yet.
@John Moore: It's a Waco CG4 troop carrying glider. They were used on D-Day.
Many years ago I had the good fortune of working with Jim (Swede) Malmstrom, son of Col. Malmstrom (Malmstrom AFB). He repeated to me many stories his dad told him about WW2 and being shot down. After 45 years much has faded but the one story I remember was how Col Malmstrom was interrogated after being captured. He was taken to a Luftwaffe base, put in an empty room and left alone. Fully expecting to be interrogated he was on guard. After about an hour a German major opened the door, looked surprised and said, "You must be the American pilot ". Said don't mind me I have work to do. Sat at a desk and shuffled paper. After 1/2 hour of this the major said, "Where are you from?' "Chicago" "Great was there for the Fair in 1934, Dad took me". They started talking about Chicago and after about an hour Col Malmstrom said, "When do you think they will send in an interrogator?" "Col I've been interrogating you since I arrived, you have given me a lot of information." General Savage would not have been taken to a Stalag until after many rounds of interrogation.
The plane crashing was a Glider during Market Garden. There are Videos that do show AC crashing in Germany and Japan.
As much as I like the series, there's one thing that has kind of bugged me from the first episode. And this one really brought it to a head. Why was a general officer flying missions over hostile territory. Allied aircrews had among the riskiest tasks during the whole war. I wouldn't think that such a high ranking officer would be allowed to take such a risk, for fear that he would be killed or specifically captured. In another episode, Savage was told that he was NOT expendable. If that's the case, he would not have been flying a bomber.
Suspension of disbelief.
For the purpose of this series to show the psychological stressors on all crew, all ranks
from top to bottom; gunners, navigators, bombardiers, pilots, and the loss of life in
most missions.
He is a "Brigadier" General. Those are generals in the field. Lowest ranking general officer; in between Colonel and Major General.
Because it’s a dramatization & the more savage is well, more savage!!! So, don’t view from a technical accuracy standpoint & just enjoy our men shooting Jerries, Krouts & Hieneys
there is also the fact that in war a stubborn officer who has talent will be allowed leeway, just as senior officers were allowed to command Navy ships when they could have gone to middle rankers
Even as a Yank , I would have loved to have served with that group captain
Watching a couple of these a day it becomes evident they used the same footage repeatedly. Then there are the errors. The General calls for the group to close up in one episode looks over his shoulder and sees a B-24. In another episode, a long shot of them dropping bombs the planes shown are B-29's. My biggest problem is the attitude everyone seems to have that each mission is just another day at the office. I also agree with those who think someone should have taught him how to salute.
The RAF do not salute without a hat and a Group Captain would most certainly not have had his forage cap under his epaulette!
"Charlie Farquesan"
I never noticed when I was in Germany how much the flora and fauna looked so much like Southern California!
Of course when I watched these shows when they were first aired On prime time I had never been to either…
Now I have visited Germany many times and lived in SoCal and know there is no resemblance at all …
The English countryside seems to be much the same.
James Farentino ...like I said ..EVERYONE haas been in this series except John Wayne and James Stewart !!!
for ur information general , u r in luftstalag 13 , my name is colonel klink ...
SS weren't assigned to PW camps.
Stop quacking about those non-german period vehicles that were all in private collections and would not be sold to the TV studios. I get it, why can't you?!?
Yeah, there are flubs such as no o2 masks in a quiet airplane. So..make a series yourselves, good show, season 1.
A mixed Command in a German run Prisoner of War Camp. Never heard of it. It is rather Hollywood.
Between the so called German truck and the fire engine which happen to be a Ford 1.5 ton truck more known as a "Burma Jeep" The Fire engine was also I believe a 1.5 ton Dodge or Chevy truck chassis.
+David Proud Also the truck parked next to the barn as the MB passes at the 20:37 mark, is a 1946-47 Ford 1.5 ton coe(cab over engine).
At 12;26 and 13;51 it is a 3 ton Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck
David Proud, glad you can i.d. them. My brother and I played that game on trips. Even though I was two years younger, I was pretty good!
British and Commonwealth officers do NOT salute without wearing a cap. Lousy technical advisor. They still haven't understood that to this day.
Paul Burke though a good actor was no Robert Lansing.
I'm surprised the show lasted a few more seasons after Season 1.
Bomber crews did not last long in the European theatre. It would have been unrealistic to last a hundred mission/episodes.
When it went color Lansing suddenly wasn't there
Before that. Lansing only there for Season One, but there were 32 episodes so it seemed longer than a standard season of 26. Color didn't come until Season 3.
what was the American plane a 4:17 in the video when the bomber hit the ground
A Waco glider
I think the series would have ended when it did even with Gen. Savage. color killed the series not enough color stalk footage and being shot in Southern California. Paul Burk sucked as the new commander also.
stock
I disagree. Burke was excellent also. They were different characters with very different backgrounds and were played as such. I enjoyed the work of both men. But Lansing was extraordinary.
I disagree on Burke. He was a terrific actor, although Lansing was born for his role.
Jerk sodas in a drug store...wtf!
@@MrUhwoody I was aware of the mechanism but why is The General asking his men that question?
..seems perverted!
You are such an idiot.
Moxie is clearly a jewish guy - very stereotypical
And ?
isnt it amazing how all the characters are blue eyed
The cake mix was majority European ancestry.
HMM, just what Hitler had in mind to some extent.
The tall one not very bright at all
Everyone would respect Savage if he would only learn how to salute
TheTruth Total DISREPECT!
Everybody who watched season one respected Robert Lansing And General Savage. Why do you think that there was such a backlash from the public when ABC replaced him with Paul Burke?
There is not a thing in the world wrong with his salute! I would salute the person and the rank!
Savage violated his own protocol preferences. He didn't salute the colonel on exiting his office.
