A.W.U.K. said:Re. Kelly's heroes, I cannot find a definitive statement and the Tigers seem to be variously believed to be T34/85's; T44's; T53's(?); T54's; M48's; Cromwells or Comets.

Yeah, poor ol' Han Solo was in "Force Ten.." not the Original and vastly superior "Guns Of Navarone".silenthunterstudios said:Was Guns of Navarone that one starring Harrison Ford and Quint from Jaws (he was in the Sting too).

ADBF I think you are right about "objective Burma".
There was another good ww2 movie I think it was "A Bridgehead at Remagan"
A Dogs Best Friend said:Hey Fixer, I think it was "The Bridge at Remagen." But that's OK, I listed Mel Gibson's movie 'We Were Soldiers' and it was a Vietnam era movie, not WWII. Oh well, it was a war film...![]()
