Garrison's Gorillas (1967-1968)

Garrison's Gorillas was a World War II television series which aired for 26 episodes from 1967 to 1968. The series followed Lieutenant Craig Garrison (Ron Harper) an US Army officer who led a covert group of operatives comprised mostly of American prisoners, on missions behind enemy lines in the European theater. The series was actually a spinoff from an unaired episode of Combat! and premiered during the height of the popularity of the film The Dirty Dozen.
