The Long Journey Back Home
22 April 2018
While retreating from a German attack, Saunders is wounded and left behind. He awakens in a German hospital wearing German uniform. Soon he learns that a Frenchman in labor work has changed his uniform since he is seriously wounded. The doctor believes he is shocked soldier and Saunders is embarked in a train back to Germany. Along the trip, Saunders and a POW private succeeds to escape, jumping from the train. They cross the enemy line together expecting to reach the Allied line. Will they succeed?

"Odyssey" is an episode of "Combat!" with the long journey back home of Saunders. The plot is dramatic and shows the human side of the enemy in a stupid war. The conclusion is heartbreaking. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Odisséia" ("Odyssey")
