What I remember as a kid was just how easy the German soldiers were killed and how hard it was for the Germans to kill an American. As little I understood about anything as a ten year old I understood that. Whenever a German was shot he would spring up to his feet with his chin up in the air and was hit by three or four more bullets so he died for sure and not have to be treated by the medic. As observed in other reviews only the replacement non regular Americans were killed. Except Long John who was shot probably a dozen times over the years but it was always a shoulder or leg flesh wound. I guess during WWII you had to be shot up pretty good to go home.
In fact every time I watch Combat today on Me TV I still wonder why it took four years to beat the Germans. If they fought as poorly as they do on Combat the European theater should have ended by spring of 1942. Of course I didn't see it at the theater but on TV.
