Whittingham warrior Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 A Bridge to Far, the German vehicles looked like a jumble sale on tracks made by Blue Peter in a hurry. Have you put up your advent crown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Just watching the original Dunkirk film, one of the first scenes in France shows a couple of trucks being attacked and set ablaze. One is a small Fordson but the other is a Bedford QL, obviously not actually introduced at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 One of the very best war films (!?) Operation Dunkirk 2017. An American film that shows many ,'many' instances of utter rubbish displayed on the screen. Too many to mention but M5 Stuarts as German tanks, post war very clean Jeeps complete with Allied Star, BTW they leave that and go waltzing off into the maize. The Germans have a Bazooka and in the same scene have SMG's that have 100+ round mags. I recorded it from yesterday so I will make a list.....

Even better, there's a scene in which the PoWs are loading Austins, there's a close up of the driver sitting in what appears to be a Dodge, then he drives off in an Austin ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
