A raw survival episode, Vic and several of his men hide from the Germans in a basement, with Billy severely wounded. They're vastly outnumbered in this little town.
With nothing much happening, no interesting characters or dialogue, it's as if the creators of "Combat!" are daring you to keep watching. Back in 1963 I would have changed the channel on this one for sure, largely because the notion of suspense is subverted by the obvious necessity of our contract players all needing to return next week in another new episode, hopefully a lot better than this one. Episode title refers to vast explosions that Vic uses to distract the Germans (and the audience).
Whether for budgetary considerations, or merely a lapse in setting the bar too low for a script to be accepted and given the go-ahead to be filmed, I think it's unforgivable for a show that has earned the admiration and gratitude of a loyal audience to foist sheer filler like this on the pubic. In the story the Germans seem asleep at the wheel, when in fact it is the Selmur staff at MGM Studios that went to sleep.
