discussion Tobruk film

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

I'm watching Tobruk and just seen some tanks on the gernam side that I think are actually american ones, Pattons I think. Heres the rather hasty grabbed pic from the telly, can anyone confirm my suspiscions?

Yep! about 80% of the German army was built up of surplus American stuff. Quite a bit of the Luftwaffe as well now I come to think of it.

Well in History according to Hollywood at least.

Kelly's hero's also used t34 as a base for the tiger.

 

[Guest]

At least they made the attempt to make them look like Tigers.

M48`s in Tobruk.

M47`s in Battle of the Bulge.

It's something that I find a bit annoying. Even the BoB movie does it for me. I can live with the CASA 2.111s in place of He 111s but the Buchons for Bf 109s are just WRONG.

Still a great film,I watched it again recently. How many times does the same radio controlled Ju 87 explode and lose its wings?

Cheers

I watched BoB this morning and was thinking to myself those 109's look a little thin!

I know what you mean.I think it's because the engine is upside down. From the engine back they are pretty much a 109 but the nose throws the whole thing off. Never mind the aeroplanes and the amazing air to air photography,the best bit for me was alway Susannah York in her undies :music_whistling:

 

[Guest]

Lol calm down m8 think obout the planes.

Is Suzannah Yorke in her undies in that one as well? I can't remember seeing the movie in the last 2 or 3 decades so can't remember much about it at all!

Steve the 'in cockpit' action shots of the He111 do you like them ? I do! and that mock cockpit is still in the UK at East Kirkby, Lincolnshire.
