Fatt Matt ◊ 2006-10-21 19:24	Definitely a Bedford QL. Although on the German side I would guess this isn't unrealistic? the film is set before the D Day landings and I daresay a few items of British hardware were captured afterwards and put to work. It certainly happened in desert warfare, but not sure about Europe, anyone know any more?
