Greg,
Following my posting of yesterday, as I have promised, I have checked my
books (I did not remember that I have two more ones in English!): the
movie is PLAY DIRTY - 1969, as also suggested by another Lister yesterday.
It has been a pleasure to go through my books looking for your

many I have not seen because have been considered less important or
marginal by our TV Stations.
The only fault of "Play Dirty" are the U.S. half-tracks disguised as
German Sd.Kfz. half-tracks. However, this is a minor fault because at the
time all German half-tracks used in war movies were U.S. ones. In 1969
there were VERY VERY few mil-veh collectors owning running German WWII
half-tracks. The only original one used in a movie I remember of is an
German Sd.Kfz. half-track used at the end of DIRTY DOZEN. It seems that it
was recovered in a British farm. Anybody does remember it?
Regards and
Keep Them Rolling!
