This is a massive slice of cheese as Oriskany says but here is the trailer for Tobruk…it might get you in the mood for some Western Desert fighting.

lol worst german half tracks ive ever seen lol

rot6

they did indeed capture halftracks on both sides from the enemy and paint them in their colour shemes. the tanks are the funny part 😉

lupa15

The tanks look nothing like they are supposed too. Got a real kick out that.

sneakyrabbit

lol!

battlehawk

I remember watching this film when I was young.

Must be all captured equipment from the allies the germans used.

baconpancake

Gotta love these old war movies ! exept the vehicles are all wrong 🙂

uberqfunk

I love it when a plan comes together.

oriskany

George Peppard for the win!

rot6

are those amercian tanks or russians? if russians that would mostlikly be from the agyptians right?

The large tanks were American M 48 Pattons , the smaller tank the guy slid under was an American Walker Bulldog , I forget the M number . Seems parts of the movie were shot in Spain so probably vehicles from the Spanish Armed forces ( they also supplied tanks for the movie Patton ) Always wanted to kit bash a US M3 Half Track to look like these “German ” vehicles . I wonder if the same movie company made the film , Raid On Rommel , they seem to use all the same vehicles

Great movie, though I prefer Ice Cold in Alex.

Oscar nominated special effects – As used later by Red Dwarf!

phoenixris

toricova

garethwallace

tibour

normandyfan

did’nt know Rommel had Patton tanks lol

innes

This is what happens when you don’t have army lists!

somegeezer

Good lord!

collins

Bet Jim is twitching over this! Hahaha

oriskany

Nah, this movie is a classic. It somehow rises above its cheesy flaws. Historically it is beyond absurd, but that’s not the point.

redsarge

Well… I’m not sure of all I just viewed… but darn it was awesome! That tank slide stunt looked absolutely dangerous, but was also a showcase of old school film making, there’s real danger there! That is what’s missing from the modern films in scores. Funny that, more risk more reward!

denzien

But can George Peppard hit anything? Least he can make his own tank

zorg

Nooo more US German tank’s.

oriskany

My favorite irony in this vein is the movie Patton, where “Patton” fights German M48 tanks named … Patton. 😀

khy0te

I don’t think I need to watch the movie after how much the trailer showed. Plus the movie looks like it has Limburger cheese levels of funk.

falerox

I wonder if he loves it when a plan comes together?

daverouge1

Lol

rbwgames

coachjose59
