Keep Your Head
8 October 2023
This episode is called "Head Count" (two words is correct English not one word so I'm using two words) which is interesting because they do have to keep counting the heads of their German prisoners as they march them back to friendly territory. They also have to do their very best to keep their own heads, as the saying goes, and not lose their cool. If you lose your head/cool in a situation like that then all hell is going to break lose. And there are a few times when that almost happens.

The is a really good episode that shows the experience and skill of Sgt. Saunders and his men. The Germans are trying to outsmart them and they are trying to outsmart the Germans. The Germans have greater numbers, but the Americans have all the weapons! The Germans want to try and escape, but they also want to stay alive! They know the Americans will blow them away if they get to aggressive. This episode also has a fun twist at the end that makes it even more enjoyable. The only thing I would change is the last line spoken at the end of the episode. That didn't work for me. But that's a small quibble.

Overall a wonderful episode. Catch it if you can.
