In 1967 ABC gave us 4 cons and a gorgeous blond lieutenant to observe as they went about helping to win WWII.
From The Complete Directory to Prime Time TV Shows:
This action series focused on a motley group of commandos recruited
from stateside prisons to use their special skills against the
Germans in World War II. They had been promised a presidential
pardon at the end of the war if they worked out; if not, they
could expect a firing squad. The four were Actor, a handsome,
resonant-voiced con man; Casino, a tough, wiry safe-cracker;
Goniff, a slender, likable cat burglar; and Chief, a rugged,
somber American Indian proficient with a switchblade. Led by
West Pointer Craig Garrison, and headquartered in a secluded
spot in England, this slippery group ranged all over Europe in
exploits that often took them behind enemy lines.
