Featured review
The Albanian Uniform
When Lt. Hanley is captured by the German, he is taken to an old mansion in the countryside where there are other POW officers. He explains that he has the location of a German factory and needs to disclose to the artillery. The prisoners help him to escape wearing a fake Albanian uniform and Hanley need to cross part of Germany and France to reach the Allied lines. He takes a train and during a stop, two Hitler Youth accuse him to a German officer of wearing a fake uniform. He is arrested by the officer and a soldier that is killed by the officer, who is indeed a British spy called Thorne. They steal a car to drive to the Allied lines, cross the board but the car run out of gas and the bon-vivant Thorne proposes to stop at a French restaurant to pump the car and have lunch. Out of the blue, an Albanian officer arrives and they are forced to flee but they stumble upon a Gestapo agent. What will they do?
"Evasion" is a strange episode of "Combat!" Hanley´s prison break recalls the series "Hogan's Heroes". Thorne deciding to have lunch at a French occupied village looks like a comedy. But the episode is funny and worthwhile watching. My vote is eight.
