TV's "The Rat Patrol" (1966-1968) is one of those wartime-action programs that (IMO) had both its fair share of good moments, as well as its not-so-good moments, too.
Set during the height of WW2 (in the North African desert region) - The action in "Rat Patrol" focuses in on the activities of 4 allied soldiers (1 British, 3 American) who repeatedly come into direct conflict with the Nazis of the Afrika Korps who are hellbent on overtaking this territory at all costs.
Even though "The Rat Patrol" is obviously dominated by historical inconsistencies (and its story-lines are often noticeably repetitive) - This American "macho-man" TV show does contain plenty of violent confrontations (which are punctuated by high-powered machine gun attacks) that are sure to hold the viewer's attention long enough to keep one entertained for the full 30-minute running time of each subsequent episode.
