First Platoon?

[Eric Hood]

Marines!
Does anyone know the PBS Documentary called "1st Platoon"? It was on PBS sometime in the mid or late 1980's. I cant' find it.

Never heard of it, Eric, but I'll try to help you find it.

All I see is: A complete list of PBS specials past and present. No listing for First Platoon. And a documentary called First Platoon, but about Norway snow training for USMC personnel.

I did find something on IMDB. But, I can't find it on the net. IMDB says it was made in 1964, but I think there are wrong. Thanks for any help.

That's the one I saw about training in Norway, cold weather training.

Looks like it's available for online streaming via Amazon. You can rent or buy it.

So it was the one about the Norway snow training for Marines, after all.
