This is a very nice old series that has held up well. The quality of the shows is excellent, and although the story lines are in many cases improbable or far-fetched, remember that it is a television action series and not intended to be an historically accurate representation of WWII in North Africa. This is definitely a guys' show, lots of killing but no gore or blood, as the series was made in 1968 and graphic detail was not in fashion then. So enemy soldiers get shot with jeep-mounted machine guns and just fall down. Today they turn into a screen full of flying body parts. Isn't progress wonderful? All in all, a very good series and an excellent quality video set.
If you are a serious lover of '60s and '70s war shows then you will love The Rat Patrol. The series is set around four men from different countries fighting the Nazis in North Africa during the Second World War. The action that they get into each episode is thrilling but, as for many of the programs of the period the good guys always win and the bad guys always get away. I find that the characters in the program follow stereotypes sometimes too closely and thus the stories become campy. However, the person who loves action and military programs should have no trouble falling in love with each predictable episode. The cast is well supported and there are several guest stars that make the shows a must have for collectors of this genre.
A Very Good series to watch, this movie shows how two people come from totally different beliefs. Fighting from. Two complete different words and still earn respect for eacher.
