Ah yess, Rat Patrol with ONE British guy in the jeep. Should have been the other way around with possibly ONE American or NONE! And I did like the germans with a White Half track instead of a german one.
Back in 1965, While in RVN, I happened into a USO in Danang. They had a real TV, first one I'd seen in country. The show on the screen was Combat. Hah, Watched it for a few minutes and had to leave. I Still remember that. Often wondered about that. I never saw the show in the states.
The Combat series can be viewed on Youtube. Cost=$0.00
I bought the whole set and watched it one episode every two weeks or so. Made it last five years . Loved it , but was sad when it " ended" . Prob'ly should do a second go as it's been a couple years now. They had a set of " Rat Patrol" out , too. I have not played it yet.

Picked up the entire set on DVD on sale from Amazon last year and delayed watching it until this winter. Just got through the first season which I faithfully watched in college in 1962, so some of it I remembered. Never did catch any of the rest of it, so from here on in it's all new to me.
Unlike a lot of programs from that era, the writing was excellent; quite a lot like some of the Star Trek shows where moral issues were brought up. Needless to say, I "get it" better now than when I was 19. Definitely in the "better late than never" category. My wife doesn't much care for war movies, but she's pretty hooked as well.
Of course the SAS used jeeps, my comment on "rat patrol" was that it should have been the SAS, with possibly one American instead of the other way round!
