Default Film Title

Hi all - I think this is the one - Great Guns is a 1941 film directed by Monty Banks, and produced by Sol M. Wurtzel for 20th Century Fox starring Laurel and Hardy.

Default Willys 6X6 TUG

I recall seeing a mock up of the 6 wheeler Jeep in a wartime movie . You often see studio made armoured cars in early UK wartime movies too.

The Germans drive around in cardboard or plywood contraptions chasing spies . And they often are wearing those large WW1 type helmets , probably as the genuine thing was unobtainable early in WW2.
