The Rat Patrol (1966)
S01E09 The Blow Sky High Raid
Episode Overview
The Rat Patrol is tasked with taking out a crucial German radar station before a squadron of bombers arrives. Equipped with a volatile new type of explosives, Troy feels uneasy about transporting such dangerous materials, which are sensitive to the slightest jolt. Meanwhile, Dietrich discovers their mission and attempts to reach the site first by following an ancient Arabic legend of an elusive "trigh" (road) through the jebels (mountains). As the Patrol searches for this path, Moffitt inadvertently leads them astray, allowing Dietrich to arrive ahead of them. In a tense showdown, Troy successfully plants the explosives and bluffs Dietrich into retreating, claiming he's ready to sacrifice himself to thwart the radar station's operation.
