1940 KhPZ T-34 as Tiger I Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Kooshmeister	Fake or not, I adore these tanks. They were my favorites when I was a kid. There are three of them in the end sequence: 112, 113 and 115. Tiger 115 is the main one, the one used by Karl Otto Alberty's character who Clint Eastwood and the gang have a high-noon showdown with and the only one to survive the movie: Tiger 113 is the "supporting" tank whose commander was killed by the American sniper at the beginning of the battle while poking out of the turret, which gets shot "in the ass" after being accidentally blasted with paint-filled shells: Tiger 112, featured in the main pic, does nothing. It gets blasted right at the beginning of the battle and spends the remainder of the film a burning wreck. At the end, after the town is liberated and the fire has died down, some children climb on it. Which kind of bugs me considering the dead crew must still be inside of it. Hope the kids don't get too curious and try to open the hatch. -- Last edit: 2009-09-10 07:59:38	2009-09-10 07:52
1940 KhPZ T-34 as Tiger I Kelly's Heroes (1970)	M26 Pershing	I painted my 1/35 Tiger model to look like this. http://panzerschreckleopard.deviantart.com/art/Tiger-From-Kelly-s-Heroes-117467870	2009-06-22 17:16
Volkswagen Kübelwagen [Typ 82] Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Kooshmeister	More background Kubels, including the one that gets blown to bits during the bombing of the town: If you look closely you can see the cable pulling the Kubel in front of the halftrack prior to the explosion. It looks like a mockup, rather than a real Kubel. Also somehow it turns around after being blown up!	2009-01-10 04:16
1947 TAM Pionir Kelly's Heroes (1970)	SMIGI	This film is set in the Second World War. TAM was established in 1947, two years after the Second World War. Pionir should not be in this film. I reckon that they wanted to replace the Opel Blitz, which has very similar. Error is in the film - not here. Cheers.	2008-12-17 23:28
Volkswagen Kübelwagen [Typ 82] Kelly's Heroes (1970)	petep	The wreckage of the destroyed Kubel is also in the background in the river crossing scene. Not sure if it is a real one though, as the wheels on it are wrong.	2008-10-07 16:12
1942 International Harvester M5 Halftrack Kelly's Heroes (1970)	petep	It is deffinatley an International M5 and not a White M3. The easiest ways to tell are the mudguards which (although very bent here) are very basic bent bits of metal on the M5, where as on the M3 they were very well formed. Also the rear corners are curved on an International, rather than the White's which are completley square, you can't see it in these pics but it is clearer in the film. The Gun conversion is likley to be a local (Yugoslav) modification, as most of the armour in the film was leased in from the Yugoslav Army.	2008-10-07 16:05
1941 Alco M4 A3 'Sherman' Kelly's Heroes (1970)	petep	It is impossible to tell without being able to see the foundry marks or dataplates, there were loads of different compnies producing Shermans during the war. Apparently most of the remanufacturing to accomodate the 76mm gun was undertaken by Rock Island Arsenal and Bowen-McLaughlin-York Co between them.	2008-10-07 15:46
GMC CCKW Kelly's Heroes (1970)	4x4peru	The side cover vents on the Chevy are different. Some CCKWs were fitted w/ early "super singles" as it provided better flotation in sand. The front wheel pictured is wider than stock CCKW. Agree the bumper could be a modification. -- Last edit: 2008-09-29 06:16:05	2008-09-29 01:50
GMC CCKW Kelly's Heroes (1970)	2491tj	prior to this shot in the film, as kelly is turning the jeep right to come down this road..he is passed by a CCKW with single rear wheels..not duals!!!!!!...also..with that small bumper..is it a CCKW????? not a chevrolet?	2008-09-28 23:46
Volkswagen Kübelwagen [Typ 82] Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Kooshmeister	sixcyl wrote There are three more elsewhere in the film, although sadly I haven't got the DVD at the moment so I can't make caps myself, but whoever does can find them in the following spots: 1. During the journey through the town that's being bombed, a Kubel is blown to bits and almost run into by one of the American halftracks (specifically, the one with Big Joe). 2. During Oddball's assault on the railway, a parked Kubel is shown sitting a few feet away from a violent explosion of a train, but remarkably survives. 3. In the town at the end, there's a Kubel parked outside "the brown building behind the bank." It's in several shots, and, like the Kubel at the railway, survives an explosion that goes off mere feet from it (in this case, the building it's parked in front of gets blown up).	2008-04-05 01:09
1941 Alco M4 A3 'Sherman' Kelly's Heroes (1970)	antp	Is "Alco" still correct as manufacturer then?	2008-02-20 18:04
1941 Alco M4 A3 'Sherman' Kelly's Heroes (1970)	petep	They are M4A3E4 Shermans, which were standard M4A3s which were upgunned after the war with 76mm guns, hence the fact they look longer than 75mm guns. They were all serving Yugoslav tanks when the film was produced.	2008-02-20 17:58
Kelly's Heroes (1970)	FockeWulf	I'm not familiar with the Soko 522. But I'll bet those are AT-6 (Naval version SNJ) Texan trainers. They frequently stand in (poorly) for Zeroes before De Havilland of Canada built the replica Zeroes for "Tora! Tora! Tora!" They are just anonymous enough flashing quickly by in strafing scenes to represent a generic attack aircraft. Sure would like to see something besides Mustangs trotted out for the Allied air forces to the rescue, but let's face it, those birds are harder and harder to come by.	2007-10-05 23:47

Volkswagen Kübelwagen [Typ 82] Kelly's Heroes (1970)	chris40	You're right, of course ... I'm watching the movie on TV right now, and the front axle's too far forward for a Bedford. I'll go along with Praga or TAM Pionir, probably the latter as the film was made in Jugoslavia. You know me, weasel1984 ... mądry po szkodzie ...	2007-09-29 20:47
Volkswagen Kübelwagen [Typ 82] Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Weasel1984	You mean these two on the main picture? I can't find any differences between them and this one: vehicle_31785-TAM-Pionir-1947.html So Praga is not a completly bad guess, I think. -- Last edit: 2007-08-27 15:03:27	2007-08-27 14:20
1947 TAM Pionir Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Weasel1984	Not Praga - Yugoslavian movie, it's a licence version - TAM Pionir	2007-08-27 14:16
Volkswagen Kübelwagen [Typ 82] Kelly's Heroes (1970)	chris40	Alexander wrote Wrong type of windscreen for a Praga. They could be GMC ACX-504. Mmm. Could be, but I remember thinking when I saw the movie that the side view looked very M-type Bedford. They looked too small for Jimmies. -- Last edit: 2007-08-27 14:08:49	2007-08-27 14:03
Volkswagen Kübelwagen [Typ 82] Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Alexander	Wrong type of windscreen for a Praga. They could be GMC ACX-504.	2007-08-19 19:11
Volkswagen Kübelwagen [Typ 82] Kelly's Heroes (1970)	chris40	I've always wondered about the two trucks: are they Pragas or, as I suspect, disguised Bedfords?	2007-08-19 18:19

1942 International Harvester M5 Halftrack Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Alexander	Not a White. The wings show that it was made by International Harvester. Therefore it is not an original Howitzer Motor Carriage, as all these (T19, T30, T38) used an M3 vehicle.	2006-06-13 09:58
1942 International Harvester M5 Halftrack Kelly's Heroes (1970)	2491tj	yep..White T30 will do.	2006-06-13 02:30
1941 Alco M4 A3 'Sherman' Kelly's Heroes (1970)	subalternnavert	Pre '42 manufacture by the narrow mantlet on the 75mm. Which narrows it to an M4 along with the welded hull. It is also still has the original 75mm. Several in US service recieved an upgrade with the 76mm gun. Since the gun is straight to the end, that tells me it's the original 75. -- Last edit: 2006-05-29 08:43:25	2006-05-29 08:12

1942 International Harvester M5 Halftrack Kelly's Heroes (1970)	antp	So we list it as "White T30"? or something else?	2006-05-16 00:04
1942 International Harvester M5 Halftrack Kelly's Heroes (1970)	2491tj	wrong..the us army employed them early in the desert campaign,although they were obsolete by then and phased out by the stuart light tank.Its actual designation is Carriage,Motor,75mm Howitzer,T30..only 500 were built,only on the White chassis..this film one is a mock up.	2006-05-16 00:01

1940 KhPZ T-34 as Tiger I Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Alexander	Yes, it is a conversion based on the Soviet KhPZ (Kharkov Steam-Engine Factory) T-34.	2006-05-06 11:47
1942 International Harvester M5 Halftrack Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Alexander	It actually is the International Harvester M5. The M2 and M3 (plus derivations) had rounded wings. With this gun it tries to impersonate the T48 Gun Motor Carriage, which incidently was never used by the US but the Soviet army.	2006-05-06 02:23
1941 White M2 Halftrack as Sd.Kfz.251 Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Alexander	It is definitely base on a US halftrack, which were produced by White, Autocar, Diamond T, and International Harvester. The military numbers for these vehicles were M2 (Autocar, White) M3 (Autocar, Diamond T, White) M5 (International Harvester) M9 (International Harvester) plus special versions M4 (White) M13 (Autocar, Diamond T, White) M14 (International Harvester) M15 (Autocar) M16 (White) M17 (International Harvester) M21 (White) T48 (Diamond T) It is impossible to say on which version and thus which producer this conversion is based. As White designed the halftracks and most of White's halftracks were M2 I will use that name.	2006-05-06 02:06
1942 International Harvester M5 13-ton High Speed Tractor Kelly's Heroes (1970)	Alexander	junkman wrote Interesingly, I only found International Harvester as a manufacturer. ... and that is absolutely correct. The M numbers were allocated within a group of vehicles. There was an M5 light tank, M5 halftrack, M5 bulldozer and this M5 tractor -- all at the same time. That the halftrack and the tractor were produced by the same company is a mere coincidence.	2006-05-06 01:14

Kelly's Heroes (1970)	wrenchhead	The wings seem to be bent a little like the Corsair and the Corsair did have a very big radial engine but its hard to see from this angle. The wings are certainly not flat as on most WWII planes. Is there a picture from a different angle.	2006-05-04 19:39
