I just got done watching The Dirty Dozen that I recieved as an Xmas present. Something I noticed in it that I had never though about before. At the end when the Chateau is exploding and Lee Marvin is driving the gun tractor over the bridge, that little German vehicle tries to intercept them. Was that vehicle real, or was it just a stage creation? It had a big shield in the front with a loophole for the machinegun. It looked like it might be good for urban combat perhaps building and door busting.

More than likely it was an English film prop.
That's where they filmed it.

Middle to late 60's, I think. That was a long time ago.

Interesting, he did a voiceover for the movie "Toy Soldier's", in the late 90's.

Think I'll raid the kids' video box and watch it again - in a whole new llight.

Watched a half hour of it and almost puked!
