    I remember when that originally aired. Linda Day George wrote about how hard doing the show was on her husband Christopher’s back. The Germans were almost comical with their inability to fight the enemy in the series. Soap opera star Eric Braden was still using his birth name of Hans Gudegast (spelled something like that) back then.

    Yeah, it was like "Combat!" The Germans would all jump from behind rocks and trees so they could all get drilled by the heroes of the show. I often wondered what real vets of the war thought of that. I bet they *wished* the enemy would have done that!

    Bob Koester pretty thoroughly mined the Apollo masters - I have 17 Delmark/Apollo cds in my collection. Great stuff.

     

    Thanks Chuck. I hadn't realized that Koester did them all, but it does look like he did. Apollo did a fair number of blues/early R&B things that were reissued in that series. I went back for a look, and I think Mosaic would define around eight or nine of those as jazz, but given that they were all reissued anyway--and pretty well--it probably wouldn't pay to do it again.
