colinmbarron1956 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I was wondering if any of you had any information about where all the German military vehicles were obtained from for the film 'Where Eagles Dare?' I know that some at least came from the Austrian Army e.g. the 1958 Saurer APC which appears in the film. What about the others? I believe 16 Kubelwagens were used in the filming and only two survived! Thanks for your help. Colin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittingham warrior Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Although not the film 'Where Eagles Dare' but in the British film 'The Eagle Has Landed' the clips of StuG III on railway wagons at the beginning of the film were filmed in Finland.

colinmbarron1956 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 My reference to this claim is Cinema Retro Movie Classics special on 'Where Eagles Dare'. Page 77. 'Of the 16 Kubelwagens used in the film,two are known to have survived,with UK-based Club 'Tiger1 ' claiming to own one'. Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Johns Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) No idea were you got the idea that 14 kubels were distroyed the german vehicles belonged to TLO film services and as far as i know none were destroyed and certainly Tony didnt use 16 maybe 3-4 The Kubels that were crashed were stunt replicas, crashed, straightened out and used several times over, so there were not 14 of them, I nearly bought the red Graf & Stift bus complete with bullet holes! that starred in the film when it came up for sale after filming Edited April 20, 2017 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
