The World War II North African missions of an Allied commando patrol squad of the Long Range Desert Group. A four-man team of commandos within the Long Range Desert Group fights the Nazis in North Africa. Armed with jeeps equipped with .50-caliber machine guns--and endless chutzpah--they wage a highly-irregular war against Rommel's Afrika Korps. Their most common nemesis is Hauptmann Dietrich, though Dietrich and the Rats join forces from time to time against a common enemy.

Some Trivia:
01: On January 4, 1967, while filming a chase scene on the set of "The Rat Patrol", Christopher George's jeep flipped over, pinning the actor underneath the vehicle. George sustained a cardiac contusion, which never properly healed, and scar tissue subsequently developed. The fatal heart attack he suffered on November 28, 1983 was attributed to this mishap. He was buried in Pierce Brothers Westwood Memorial Park, in Los Angeles, California.
02: The hat pin Christopher George (Sgt. Sam Troy) wears is the pin for the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces, which also served in North Africa during WWII.
03: All of the episodes have the word "raid" in them.
04: The first World War II television series made and telecast entirely in color.
05: Sgt. Moffitt's goggles are U.S. M-1944 Polaroid goggles, usually issued to and worn by U.S. armored crewmen.
07: In November 1942, Camp Laguna in Yuma, Arizona started as a major training site for George S. Patton's armored units. It was one of fourteen such camps built in the southwestern deserts to train United States troops during World War II. It was a major training facility for units engaged in combat during the 1942-1943 North African campaign. The desert was extremely suitable for the large-scale maneuvers necessary to prepare inexperienced American soldiers for combat against the highly trained and much feared German Afrika Korps in the North African desert.
08: Throughout the series there were numerous instances where our heroes would appear at German hospitals and bases. This happened in real life on purpose by Special Air Service and and the Long Range Desert Group. It happened many times by accident as well. Rommel himself entered a hospital to visit his wounded soldiers only to find out it was captured by the British. Realizing their mistake, Rommel and his aides convinced their hosts that they were Free Polish and made their escape
Goofs or mistakes:
01: A machine gun of the size featured in this series cannot be fired accurately from such a jeep as the Rats'. A U.S. military officer in Vietnam discovered this the hard way when, inspired by the show, he had a heavy machine gun mounted on his own jeep. Several of his soldiers took turns firing the weapon, whose recoil nearly capsized the jeep, and caused rounds to fly in every direction except that of the designated target. (So much for jumping sand dunes and blowing up tanks from the back of a jeep!)
02: The opening credits depict a soldier with a filtered cigarette between his lips. Filtered cigarettes were less than 1 percent of the domestic market five years after World War II ended, making it extremely unlikely that any were shipped to GIs overseas during the war.
03: The shots of the jeeps jumping the sand dune which opens the show (actually the same shot, repeated) are reversed, or "flipped" images. The steering wheel and driver are on the right side of the jeeps in the shots, incorrect for an American vehicle.
