The Hickory Dickory Dock Raid

"The Hickory Dickory Dock Raid" is the twenty-third episode of the second season of The Rat Patrol. It originally aired on 26 February 1968.

Synopsis
An Allied aerial bombing raid seriously damages German tanks and trucks, which are taken to a repair depot. The Rat Patrol go reconnoiter the repair depot, where several prisoners of war are being held.

It is after they discuss the logistics of their mission that Troy decides to give Moffitt a letter. According to the epistle, Moffitt's younger brother died in London during an air raid. Troy tells Moffitt he understands how he feels (in "The Field of Death Raid," Moffitt helped Sergeant Troy rescue Captain David Troy).

German guards spot Moffitt and he starts shooting like he thinks he can kill them all. Troy has to pull Moffitt out. Once they're safe, Troy tells Moffitt that he should not personalize the enemy.

The Rat Patrol sneak back aboard the depot. Hitchcock and Tully replace the guards in the watchtower, while Troy and Moffitt go into an office to disable the wake up call... but they cut the wrong wire and set off an alarm.

In the escape, Tully's captured, and Hitchcock is going to go rescue him, but Troy holds him back, saying a diversion is coming: Allied bombers.

Moffitt apologizes to Troy for getting carried away.
