Counterplay

Saunders is assigned to destroy a German radar facility with his squad and the specialist Sgt. Rawlings guided by the Maquis Marchand. They need to succeed since seventeen bombers are waiting for them to take off. However the real Marchand was murdered and replaced by a German officer to lure the Allied forces. Along their journey, they are under surveillance of German soldiers and a sniper kills Sgt. Rawlings. Marchand guides them to a fake radar installation and they use the radio to communicate their success. Out of the blue, they learn that Marchand is not a French underground fighter and they need to destroy the true radar installation to protect the bombers. What will Saunders and his squad do?

"Counterplay" is an engaging episode of "Combat!". The screenplay should have been improved and hide that Marchand is an impostor. However, the tension in the episode is worthwhile watching. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Contra-Ataque" ("Counter Attack")
