    1. Brian:

      WOW! Oh my goodness, you are going for a clean sweep there!!

      The only one you missed was 9. It is not from Galactica 1980, but rather from a British program of roughly the same vintage.

      Well-done, Brian!

  3. I've always find the 'Twilight Zone' and 'One Step Beyond' episodes are the most reverent in it's approach to WWII. Due to the fact that they were made less than 20 years from the end of that conflict and the memories of WWII must have been quite vivid to it's audience of the day.

    1. Hi Trent,

      I very much agree with you, my friend. The memory of World War II, as you may, must have been quite vivid when One Step Beyond and The Twilight Zone first began airing. It seems like such a long time ago now, but in 1959..it was only fifteen years in the past.

      Well said...

  4. I'll hazard a guess that #9 is Sapphire & Steel.
