S1E19 The Two for One Raid

Jan 16, 1967 Season 1 Episode 19 Action & Adventure, War & Politics

German ammunition has been air-dropped to an Arab farmhouse, prompting the Rat Patrol to take action and eliminate it. Upon destroying the structure, Troy is taken aback to find not the expected supplies, but a bewildered teenage boy. This boy turns out to be the son of a German commander. Initially intent on killing the commander, Troy hesitates when the boy begs him to reconsider. Reminded of his own father's loss at a similar age, Troy decides to capture the German instead of taking his life.
