I vaguely recall this brief series since I was about 10 or 11 when it aired. I was really into WWII stuff due to my veteran dad and uncles, and Revell model kits. I believe it was filmed in Germany using post-WWII era tanks (like the M-48 Patton) for both the US and Germans with applicable markings. (Kids into armor could spot obvious inconsistencies like that). I suspect the US Army cooperated with the filming by, perhaps, providing the tanks and some German-based US troops as extras. The series recreated various ETO battles in a small scale unit environment. I believe each story focused on one or more US Army heroes and medal recipients, generally draftees or National Guardsmen called to fight, thus the series title. I enjoyed watching it at that age and it was typical of low budget 1950s era B&W TV series of the time.
