Original German vehicles in Movies
I thought I would start this thread off. Maybe I could convince Marcus to make it sticky?
I would like to encourage everyone who knows of any authentic vehicles in movies to post here. Thought it would be a nice 'library' for people when asking wheter this or that vehicle is for real.

In "The Eagle has landed" there is a scene from Warsaw, Poland (actually Rovaniemi, Finland) and real StuG III Gs in wagons on the background.
In Finnish movie "Unknown soldier" (original version) there is a real Pz.Kw. IV Ausf. J. Perhaps it suppose to be Soviet KV-1. It it unknown to me why real Soviet tanks were not used although they would have been available in the 1950's.

I saw it, and unfrtunately very little acn be seen of the vehicle. There are some nice other German vehicles in it. I think that it tells something about war movies that a movie like 'the eagle has landed' (which is not a 'war' movie as such) has real German vehicles in it, and other war movies don't...
I think Donald Pleasence makes a great Heinrich Himmler...

Vehicles can hardly seen but they can be recognized although some of them may be fakes too.Christian Ankerstjerne wrote:I saw it, and unfrtunately very little acn be seen of the vehicle.

Yes, I've always liked Donald Pleasence too, he is one of my favourite actors. When I saw "The eagle..." again a few years ago I noticed it was actually much better movie than I remembered (although that "JR" [Larry Hagman] from Dallas is there too). Well made film anyway...

wheels of terror
what tank do the "hero"group have in the movie Wheels of Terror. In the books they're Tigers, but in the movie it certainly isn't Tiger...
