Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 9/30/66

The RAF(& USAAF) is getting pounded by very concentrated flak over Weisbaden, the latest Squadron has been wiped out. General Britt visits Gallagher to tell him that RAF Air Vice Marshal Kingsford is out for Gallagher's head, the target must be destroyed or Britt will replace Gallagher. On the next mission the 918th looses 11 aircraft out of 21. It turns out that there is a radar directed Fire Control Station in the area. A team of 8 British commandoes, led by Major Mallory will parachute in and blow it up. After dropping the commandoes, Gallagher's B-17 is shot down, his co-pilot is killed, and only he and Komansky meet up with the commando unit. One of the commandoes, Pte. Cane is badly wounded by a German patrol and is left behind with an "interrogation pill" which is really an "L(eathal) pill". Mallory makes it clear to Gallagher that he and Komansky are unwelcome "glamour flyboys". Mallory, his remaining 6 commandoes, Gallagher & Komansky head to the home of Kurt von Heurtzel a German contact. The home is deserted save for a barking dog quickly dispatched by Higgins.moreless

ADD TRIVIA
- Whether a typo or an out-and-out error, "Weisbaden" is spelled wrong and should read "Wiesbaden," meaning "Spa in the Meadow." Wies = Field/Meadow, Baden = Spa or Bath. In the 19th century, Wiesbaden was a big spa town. Any German city with "Bad" in its name is/was a spa town.
