As an adult, I noticed they always fought in the same set/village and had eucalyptus trees which showed it was California.  

I don't remember The Lieutenant and a bit before my time was Air King which featured a family of pilots.  I was told even the kid knew how to fly.

This show is a great memory of my childhood.  I use to stay up late(too late) as a kid in the mid 80s to watch reruns with my dad.  It was his favorite show as a kid and he would cut me some slack and let me stay up and enjoy it.

I watched it in the 60's with a good friends father that was a vet. Made me want a Thompsonand as soon as I turned 21 I bought a 1828 just like  Sgt Saunders, that was 1979 and I still have it. I wore out several toy Thompsonand as a child with friends crawling around my neighborhood killing Krouts haha.

I loved watching the show when I was a kid, Morrow's character was Chip Saunders and before the war he was a shoe salesman in Chicago.

I watched All of the "war" shows on TV, in part to see just how authentic they were for uniforms and equipment (I started collecting WW 2 German in 1953).  They were faily good, but occasionaly they really sucked - how about the 2 or 3X size on the breast eagles on the German uniforms.  
In spite of the flaws it was a good show!  I would say the same for all of the other WW 2 war shows of the time period.  I faithfully watched all ofthem!

I remember, "Combat" pretty well.
I liked the episode, "The Duel" where Sgt. Saunders went mano a mano with a German panzer that was heading down a road toward a wounded G.I. who was pinned under a truck.  Saunders shot up the two German infantrymen trying to cover the damaged tank.  He tried stopping it by jamming a big tree branch between the road wheels, by shooting up a can of gasoline he placed on the back engine deck.

I also liked the two part episode where the squad went up against a couple of German pillboxes.  We learned lot in that two parter (season two, IIRC); that Caje was the squad's most accurate shot with a rifle, that Vic Morrow could direct.  Morrow wasn't on camera in that episode very much because he was the director for that two part episode.

I also remember, about twenty-five years ago, that there was one station that carried the show on consecutive nights.  It got funny watching the squad run around the same hill on that same hollywood back lot night after night.

A lot of actors, sixties and seventies regulars, appeared on "Combat"; Robert Duvall, James Whitmore, James Caan, Telly Savalas, Don Gordon, the list just goes on and on.  I can't remember them all.  Maybe, Skip Homeier?   Anyone remember some more?
